QP-1
About this episode
Bad Bunny is dominating headlines and social feeds this week as he continues an extraordinary summer both at home and on the global stage. The Puerto Rican superstar is in the midst of a historic 30-show residency in San Juan, an event fans and culture writers are calling a defining cultural moment for Puerto Rico. These concerts have become more than just performances—they're celebrations of heritage, resilience, and Bad Bunny’s connection to his roots, drawing thousands and captivating his hometown of Vega Baja. EFE reported on July 25 how Vega Baja currently radiates with pride, reflecting on Bad Bunny’s journey from quiet teenager to world-famous artist, and the residency has become the talk of the island.

Musically, Bad Bunny continues to break barriers. He recently released "Alambre Púa," his first new single since his chart-topping album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. The song debuted during his Puerto Rican residency and was released officially on July 14 according to 949 KCMO. Just days later, he dropped a surprise holiday single titled “Pitorro de Coco,” a nod to a traditional Puerto Rican drink, showing his ability to blend local tradition and emotional storytelling. The Lagos Review highlights the impact of this release, noting that it sits alongside the announcement of his sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, scheduled for release early next year.

Spotify has confirmed Bad Bunny remains the most streamed artist globally for the eighth straight day, testament to his enduring popularity and the anticipation building around his upcoming album. Social channels buzz with clips from his concerts and behind-the-scenes moments, showing off not just the music but the spectacle and passion at his live shows.

Beyond music, Bad Bunny is also making waves in entertainment news. He’s featured in the trailer for Happy Gilmore 2, where behind-the-scenes Instagram highlights show him alongside comedic great Ben Stiller. His 2024 “Most Wanted Tour” wrapped up as one of the year’s highest-grossing tours, pulling in over $210 million according to The Lagos Review. Boardroom’s coverage on July 28 featured Bad Bunny “bringing the bag back home,” celebrating both his artistic and business successes.

Puerto Rican and international media are framing Bad Bunny’s summer not just as a series of concerts, but as a profound homecoming and a celebration of identity. People on Instagram and TikTok are sharing stories and memories, emphasizing how Bad Bunny’s residency has effectively “shut down Puerto Rico”—the excitement and pride are palpable throughout the island and the diaspora.
