![]() Back in 2020, Bad Bunny became the first artist to have an all-Spanish-language album ( El Último Tour Del Mundo) top the Billboard 200. He joined Rosalía on Saturday Night Live. He’s fighting Brad Pitt in the much-hyped Bullet Train. Bad Bunny is starring in a Marvel pro-wrestling superhero movie (something about a Spider-Man antagonist I’m seriously losing interest in the ever-expanding Marvelverse). Yes, an Obama cosign is just barely scratching the surface of everything Bad Bunny (born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) has achieved, both in 2022 and since he found international success about half a decade ago. Not bad for a start, and the rabbit hole goes much deeper than that. Also this past week, former President Obama added Bad Bunny and Bomba Estereo‘s “Ojitos Lindos” to his 2022 summer playlist. In fact, last week Billboard declared that the Latin trap / reggaeton innovator’s 2022 album, Un Verano Sin Ti, has overtaken the once-unassailable Encanto soundtrack as the year’s most popular album in the US. While I’m excited to mix up my contributions to this site, I definitely couldn’t let a pop-column pivot take place without a long-overdue tribute to Bad Bunny, who has no doubt enjoyed the most successful year in pop so far. Maybe you’ve heard, but this longtime weekly column is about to go monthly.
