Bad Bunny's Residency Sparks $200M Econo...

QP-1
About this episode
Bad Bunny has taken over Puerto Rico this summer with a residency that’s become the hottest ticket on the island. His sold-out No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí series at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico runs every weekend until September 14, attracting fans and brands alike. Official sources like Adweek say the residency is generating a huge economic boost—upwards of $200 million—through curated vacation packages and sold-out hotels across the island. The events have drawn an array of activations from brands, including Ritz, which created a limited-edition cracker box with Bad Bunny-themed artwork, and even set up photo booths and merch giveaways for fans. Method also got creative, reaching listeners in unexpected high-traffic spots at the venue like the restrooms.

Media attention has been intense, with Bad Bunny telling Today’s Willie Geist in a new interview that this homecoming series has been the best experience of his life. He’s relished performing in his own country, describing it as a pleasure to show his culture and sleep at home each night. This sense of pride echoes across social media, where clips from the shows and fan celebrations have gone viral, cementing him once again as the face of Puerto Rican music and culture.

In the world of music, Bad Bunny’s latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, meaning “I Should Have Taken More Photos,” continues to gain acclaim. Released in January, it’s already been called a musical love letter to Puerto Rico by stations like 99.5 JAMZ. The 17-track record is full of guest appearances from prominent Puerto Rican artists and explores themes of nostalgia, heartbreak, and self-reflection. Bad Bunny explained in interviews that this album is his most personal yet, and emphasized his goal to share the sounds and stories of his island with the world. The single “El Clúb,” which draws from both EDM and the traditional Puerto Rican genre plena, has become a fan favorite, and “Pitorro De Coco” has also proved to be a hit.

2025 is shaping up to be a blockbuster year for Bad Bunny outside music too. He’s starring in Darren Aronofsky’s new film, Caught Stealing, set to premiere this week alongside stars like Zoë Kravitz and Austin Butler. On social media, his presence is everywhere—from congratulating newly engaged celebrities Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, as seen on the CBS News Instagram, to behind-the-scenes footage from his Tiny Desk Concert, which delighted fans and drew praise for its stripped-back arrangements.

Meanwhile, anticipation is growing for Bad Bunny’s upcoming world tour, set to kick off later this fall in stadiums across Europe, Australia, Japan, and Latin America. Even with the tour’s start still months away, tickets for major cities are already in high demand—proof that his appeal shows no signs of slowing down.
