Bad Bunny’s career highlights for 2022
His most recent fourth and solo long-playing album Un Verano Sin Ti (transl. “Summer Without You”) released on May 6, 2022, is the most streamed album on Apple Music this year. And propelled the “Titi Me Pregunto” talented musician right to the top of the list of Latin recording artists on Apple Music in terms of worldwide streaming.
In addition, 22 of his songs from his album Un Verano Sin Ti ranked in the Daily Top 100 for Latin musicians and simultaneously ranked in 34 countries around the world, a record unmatched by any other Latin recording artist.
And, among other things, he also completed his World’s Hottest Tour, which spanned seven weeks in the United States of America, becoming the only recording artist ever to stage two separate $100 million-grossing tours in a period of fewer than 12 months.
