Rauw Alejandro
In the year 2017 Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee released Despacito and it became the most streamed single in just one year. It combines reggaeton with pop that was not just a new ear to reggaeton but also increased interest in Latin music. Billboard's Top 100 had four songs during 2016, which was compared with two songs from 2015. The Despacito song was at its peak popularity, however 19 mostly Spanish tracks made it into the Top 100 as well, and by 2020 there were 41 such songs. Following Justin Bieber's bilingual remix to Despacito (2017) popular artists have begun collaborating with reggaeton musicians, such as Drake together with Bad Bunny on MIA (2018) as well as Madonna along with Maluma on Medellin (2019). Reggaeton's most prominent performers lamented the trend towards popular music coming into 2020. Yet a new group, Rauw alejandro, was looking to change things up. He often incorporated elements from electronic dance music as well as other styles.
