Bad Bunny's Historic Puerto Rico Residen...

QP-1
About this episode
Bad Bunny has electrified Puerto Rico with his historic 30-concert residency at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, becoming the talk of the island and social media alike. Coverage from NPR and multiple public media outlets has called the residency the most significant cultural moment in Puerto Rico’s recent history, with immense local pride and unprecedented demand for tickets. The first nine shows were reserved exclusively for Puerto Rico residents, underscoring Bad Bunny’s ongoing commitment to his roots.

Fresh off this residency wave, Bad Bunny dropped a surprise single “Alambre Púa,” days after premiering it live at one of his homecoming concerts, according to IMDB. The new track—stylistically consistent with his latest album—is quickly gaining traction across streaming platforms and social media, where snippets of the live debut have gone viral.

Earlier this summer, Bad Bunny also released the track "NUEVAYoL," whose music video went live in July. The video, available on his official social media channels, pulled no punches: it confronted Donald Trump’s immigration legacy head-on while celebrating Latino pride and resilience. The visuals added yet another layer to Bad Bunny’s outspoken advocacy on social and political issues, making waves on Instagram and Twitter.

Fans haven’t stopped talking about his sixth studio album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” (“I Should Have Taken More Photos”), which dropped at the start of the year. Described in The Lagos Review as Bad Bunny’s most introspective and contemplative body of work so far, the album’s themes revolve around nostalgia, memory, and heartbreak, with notable tracks like “Pitorro de Coco” and “DTMF” topping charts. The release was teased with a cinematic video featuring Puerto Rican filmmaker Jacobo Morales, and continues to resonate deeply with listeners worldwide.

Streaming numbers for “DTMF” have set new records: according to recent charts, it surged to number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and claimed the top spot on US Streaming Songs, becoming Bad Bunny’s highest-charting solo single. His sweeping commercial and critical success is reflected in his music’s continued chart dominance and in the sold-out status of both his domestic and forthcoming international tour dates. Ticket sales for his 2026 Europe shows are already highly anticipated.

Major music sites have noted that Bad Bunny’s presence on the Billboard 200 and his ongoing world tours put him at the very top tier of global performers. His influence extends beyond music: recently, he was spotted making a cameo in the trailer for Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore 2, a nod to his growing crossover into film and entertainment.

The residency finale in San Juan is scheduled for late September, but Bad Bunny has already announced the massive “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” World Tour, which will hit stadiums in Europe, Australia, Japan, and Latin America starting November. Fans are buzzing about how he will evolve both musically and culturally as this tour approaches.
