His song premiered in style and reached the top 10 of the list of songs of all genres of Billboard, recalls Variety. His success didn't end there. It was also the first regional Mexican song to be performed on a prime-time show when Peso Pluma was a guest on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
Hispanic Music Reigns Supreme This Summer on Spotify
Now, the song adds one more success by positioning itself as the most listened song this summer. Something that, said the head of the Latin publisher of Spotify in the United States, Antonio Vázquez, demonstrates how Mexican music is, little by little, reigning throughout the international music scene:
'Ella Baila Sola' as the global song of the summer is a true testament to how Mexican Music is dominating the international music scene, becoming one of the genres driving growth globally. Mexican music, in general, offers a rich cultural tapestry that touches on tradition, emotion, and modernity, making it relatable and exciting for Latin music listeners and non-Spanish speakers alike. The strong appeal of this song reflects the power of Mexican music, proving that its moment in the sun is more than a trend.
The power of Hispanic music is not only represented by the theme 'Ella Baila Sola.' The list also has the song 'Where she goes' by Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny that occupies the second place in the ranking of songs of the summer made by Spotify.
