How Historic Is It That Bad Bunny and Fuerza Regida Command the Billboard 200’s Top Two Spots This Week?
This week's Five Burning Questions looks at Bad Bunny and Fuerza Regida making Billboard 200 history by occupying the top two spots at once.
This particular chart achievement would have been mind-boggling a few years ago — before Bad Bunny himself notched the first Billboard 200 chart-topper performed primarily in Spanish — and the fact that it is not too shocking today demonstrates the continued health of popular Spanish-language artists and releases at the mid-point of the decade. From a sizzling Calvin Klein photoshoot and a poignant album film to a snazzy MET Gala appearance and countless live performances ( SNL 50, NPR ’s Tiny Desk, iHeartRadio Music Awards, etc. Fotos gets dinged in the cultural conversation a bit by not being quite as ubiquitous as previous Bad Bunny albums, especially Un Verano Sin Ti, but it’s still a blockbuster, collecting hundreds of millions of streams and keeping one of the biggest stars in the world on top.
