Bad Bunny is not only dominating award shows such as the Latin Grammys at the American Music Awards. But as well as getting recognized by Apple Music as the Artist of the Year. They are becoming the first Latino to receive this distinction.
“Un Verano Sin Ti” is the most acclaimed album created by Benito Marinez Ocasio (Bad Bunny) to the top of Apple Music charts. It’s not only the most reproduced album on the platform this year. It’s also the biggest Latin album of all time, according to Apple Music.
“We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of Bad Bunny, whose influence in all corners of culture cannot be ignored in 2022”, said Oliver Schusser, Vice President of Apple Music.
For his part, Bad Bunny is grateful to his fan base for helping him become a household name.
“I’m grateful for everything I’ve accomplished and been through. The Latin music movement has grown so much. I would never take all the credit or say, ‘It’s because of me.’ No, it’s each one of us. A whole generation. Our energy and presence are always felt”, said the artist in a statement.

‘Moscow Mule‘ is the most popular Latin hit ever. Breaking stream records on a global scale the very first day it came out. The Puerto Rican artist has broken records throughout.

Also, the Latin albums No. 1, No. 2, and 3 per stream the very first day.
“When I started, I didn’t have a global fan base”, said Bad Bunny for an exclusive Apple Music movie.
