Colombian singer Shakira has set a new record for the most monthly Spotify listeners among Latin American artists (and became the first Latin American singer to do so). Hypebae writes about it.
“I am honored and grateful, even though I am only one among millions of women who have something to say and offer. Women of all races, ages and conditions. Thank you for her loyalty and support, ”Shakira wrote on her Twitter account.
The singer now has more than 68 million monthly listeners. The previous record was held by Bad Bunny.
Shakira’s rise in popularity may be due to her recent diss track with DJ Bizarrap titled “BZRP Music Session #53”. It is believed that this is a song about Gerard Piqué and his betrayal.
The single also set a YouTube record. On the day of its debut, the video reached 63 million views, becoming the most viewed Latin American music video in 24 hours.
Previously, Shakira starred in Burberry’s Christmas campaign, which was called “The Night Before.” In the short film, the singer appeared in a transparent dress encrusted with crystals.
