About this episode
Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican music sensation, continues to make headlines and solidify his influence in the music industry. Recently, he achieved a significant milestone as he, along with Fuerza Regida, made chart history with Spanish-language albums claiming top spots. This marks a remarkable achievement as Latin music continues to gain prominence on global platforms.

Bad Bunny was also featured in a collaboration with Please Don't Destroy for a "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) performance titled "First Class." This appearance on SNL is another testament to his widespread appeal and crossover into mainstream American entertainment.

Further showcasing his versatility, Bad Bunny collaborated with the virtual band Gorillaz on their 2023 album 'Cracker Island.' This album also included other notable artists like Stevie Nicks and Tame Impala, highlighting Bad Bunny's ability to blend genres and work alongside diverse musicians.

Additionally, Bad Bunny's influence extends to the live performance sphere, where he is identified as one of the premium acts driving ticket price records in 2025. Alongside icons like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Olivia Rodrigo, his presence is pivotal in the rising trends of leisure spending, particularly in the live music sector.

The 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) also saw Bad Bunny clinching the award for Favorite Latin Album, reinforcing his status in the music scene and his continued success in capturing audiences with his innovative music style.
