Bad Bunny leads the world as the Biggest Pop Star based on ticket sales, concert grosses, album sales, Spotify streams, Instagram interactions, and YouTube views according to a recently published article.

Bloomberg ranked the top musicians in the world, and it appears that Bad Bunny leads all other Pop Stars and musicians. 

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio or popularly known in the music industry as Bad Bunny was born in Puerto Rico. His music is often described as Latin Trap and Reggaeton, but he has also mastered incorporating other genres in his music.

His career in the industry started when he uploaded a song to SoundCloud in 2016 under the name Bad Bunny. The song caught the attention of more than 1 million listeners, and it eventually caught the attention of the biggest music producers in the industry. 

Two years after it happened, he appeared on Cardi B's "I Like It," and two years later, he was allowed to perform alongside the world's most outstanding performers Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, during the Superbowl.

Bad Bunny is a living proof that the way to stardom in the music or any industry is now easier. Releasing music of your own became possible because of social media and other music apps. And this is how the career of Bad Bunny started. 

At present, Bad Bunny has more than 20 million followers just on his Instagram account, that does not include his other social media platforms. 


Here are the Top 10 Biggest Pop Stars in the World: 

  1. Bad Bunny
  2. Justin Bieber
  3. Elton John
  4. The Weeknd
  5. Lil Uzi Vert
  6. The Lumineers
  7. Billie Eilish
  8. Trans-Siberian Orchestra
  9. Dua Lipa
  10. Post Malone


Atop of this list is Bad Bunny, who dominates the industry when it comes to ticket sales, concert grosses, album sales, Spotify streams, Instagram interactions, and YouTube views. He also caught the hearts of the Spanish-speaking countries.

He was the most popular artist in more than a dozen countries, and that includes Argentina, Guatemala, and Spain based on YouTube views last month.

His fame and popularity go beyond Latin America. His new album "YHLQMDLG" has helped him surpass other musicians in the world. Aside from that, he has eight other songs that were included in the Top 50 on Spotify's U.S. charts. 

This just shows that Latin music and artists are now embraced not only in Latin America but in almost all parts of the world. This will hopefully inspire younger Latino musicians to thrive and achieve their dreams. Most of all, Bad Bunny will be an emblem of the most of the time underrepresented group.

He was not the only Latino artists who were included in the Bloomberg's Top 25 Greatest Pop Star. Along with him is Colombian reggaeton star, J Balvin, who also made it on the list. Some other stars on the list are the South Korean boy band BTS and the Italian singer Andrea Bocelli.

The lists are composed of different international stars around the world, but Bad Bunny overruled and overridden them.
