Bad Bunny Releases Music Video for “La Mudanza,” A Love Letter to His Beloved Puerto Rico

Posted on March 11, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is expressing his encanto for his homeland…

In celebration of his 31st birthday on Monday, March 10, the Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar released new music video “La Mudanza,” which further cements his everlasting love for his homeland and family heritage.

The song – the outro track of his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos – tells the story of Benito, a man who grew up in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, as the eldest of six siblings and worked hard from a young age, driving trucks like his father and grandfather, despite his dream of becoming an engineer.

The video begins by showing a nostalgic collection of old photos of his ancestors. Soon after, the visual depicts the birth of baby Benito. Halfway through, a the infant appears in a car seat, singing along to the song against a robust salsa rhythm.

“Calle Sol, Calle Luna, estoy en la noche oscura/ Yo no canto reggae, pero soy cultura,” the baby spits, referencing Puerto Rican reggae band Cultura Profética.

The video transitions to a scene where the present-day Bad Bunny is seen running through a field, proudly waving the Puerto Rican flag, before arriving at a local community gathering.

“A mí me quieren como a Tito y soy serio como Cotto/ Lugia, Ho-Oh, cabrón, hoy soy legendario,” he raps, drawing parallels between himself and revered Puerto Rican boxers Tito Trinidad and Miguel Cotto, while also invoking Lugia and Ho-Oh from the Pokémon series.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos reached No. 1 on multiple all-genre charts, including the Billboard 200 and Top Streaming Albums.

Benito told Billboard a few weeks after releasing the album, “This project isn’t mine. It belongs to many people: everyone who worked with me, it belongs to Puerto Rico, my friends, my family. This project belongs to all of us who feel proud of being from Puerto Rico and being Latin.”

Bad Bunny is set to embark on a historic residency in Puerto Rico, which is expected to boost the island’s economy.

Bad Bunny Earns 27th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay Chart with “Baile Inolvidable”

Posted on February 25, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny has another No. 1 single on his resume…

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar has earned a second No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart from his latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

It’s Bad Bunny’s 27th overall No. 1 as “Baile Inolvidable” rises 3-1 on the chart dated March 1.

The tropical song follows two-week champ “El Clúb” (February 8-15 charts).

“Baile Inolvidable” rolls into the top spot on the overall Latin Airplay chart thanks to 8.3 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. during the February 14-20 tracking week, according to Luminate.

It scores an 11% boost from the week prior. The song ejects Myke Towers’ “Otra Noche,” featuring Darell, from the lead (falling to No. 2 with 7.8 million audience, down less than 1%)

“El Clúb,” the first single from his No. 1 album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, continues its run in the top 10, falling 4-10.

Meanwhile, Benito has a third song in the region, as his collaboration with Rauw Alejandro, “Que Pasaria…,” jumps 8-4.

Bad Bunny, who first led Latin Airplay in February 2018, has managed to place at least two No. 1s every year since, with 2020 marking his most rewarding year, placing six rulers then.

As Bad Bunny’s collection grows, here’s a look at the number of chart-toppers during his seven-year No. 1 career:

2018, three
2019, four
2020, six
2021, three
2022, three
2023, four
2024, two
2025, two (so far)

Beyond its Latin Airplay coronation, the tropical “Baile Inolvidable” notches a second week at No. 1 on Tropical Airplay.

It also adds a seventh week at No. 2 on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, which blends airplay, digital sales and streaming data into its formula. There, it takes the Greatest Gainer/Sales honors, with a 2% gain in sales, to 500, which moves it 3-2 on Latin Digital Song Sales.

Not the same luck in streaming activity, as the song registers 11.3 million official U.S. streams, translating to an 11% dip in clicks for the tracking week.

Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” Claims Second Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart

Posted on January 26, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is still a man on top…

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos earns a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart dated February 1, earning 151,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending January 23 (down 26%), according to Luminate.

Of the 151,000 equivalent album units earned by Debí Tirar Más Fotos in the week ending January 23, SEA units comprise 146,000 (down 25%; equaling 198.78 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it’s No. 1 for a third week on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 4,000 (down 46%; falling 8-11 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 30%).

Of Bad Bunny’s four chart-topping albums, it’s the second to spend more than a single week at No. 1; his 2022 set, Un Verano Sin Ti, has collected the most weeks atop the list, with 13 weeks, non-consecutively.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

Bad Bunny Replaces Himself at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs Chart

Posted on January 22, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny has replaced himself atop the Latin charts…

A week after the 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar placed the first No. 1 from new album Debí Tirar Más Fotos on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, he logs a second champ with “DtMF.”

The track climbs 5-1 to lead the list dated January 25, for his 16th ruler to date. The album’s title track replaces “Nuevayol,” which drops 3-1 after one week in charge.

By knocking his own song from the podium, Bad Bunny becomes the only act to replace itself at No. 1 five different times on Hot Latin Songs, since the chart launched in 1994.01:34

Bad Bunny’s self-replacement streak began in 2019 when “La Canción,” with J Balvin, ceded the throne to his own “Vete” (December 7, 2019-dated ranking).

“Moscow Mule” followed, trading places, after one week atop, with “Me Porto Bonito,” with Chencho Corleone (list dated May 28, 2022).

As the latter finished its 20-week coronation in October 2022, it was ejected from the penthouse when “Titi Me Preguntó” begun its 14-week domination on the October 15, 2022-dated tally.

A year later, Bad Bunny’s featured role in Drake’s “Gently,” a one-week leader, yielded a new replacement, trading places with the 10-week ruler “Mónaco” (Oct. 28, 2023).

In total, nine acts have replaced themselves at No. 1 in the chart’s 38-year history, which blends airplay, digital sales and streaming activity. Out of those, in addition to Bad Bunny’s five self-replacements, two artists have replaced themselves at the summit at least twice: Ozuna (2018, 2019) and Karol G (2022, 2023).

“DtMF” vaults at No. 1 with the Greatest Gainer/Streaming honors in its first full tracking week. It registered 34.9 million official streams, and 2,000 sales downloads in the week ending January 16, according to Luminate.

Those sums yield a No. 1 on the overall Streaming Songs and Latin Streaming Songs charts, plus a No. 16 start on the Digital Song Sales and a 2-1 jump on Latin Digital Song Sales.

Beyond its Hot Latin Songs coronation, “DtMF” rallies 38-2 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, his highest rank since “I Like It,” with Cardi B and J Balvin, topped for one week in July 2018.

Further, as “DtMF” leads, Bad Bunny extends his Hot Latin Songs record among Latin rhythm artists, with 16th No. 1s, tying with Luis Miguel for the second-most, both behind Enrique Iglesias who still holds the most champs to date, 27.

Here’s a recap of the artists with the most leaders since Hot Latin Songs launched in 1994:

27, Enrique Iglesias
16, Bad Bunny
16, Luis Miguel
15, Gloria Estefan
13, Shakira
11, Marco Antonio Solis
11, Ricky Martin

Bad Bunny’s “DtMF” Rises to No. 1 on Billboard Global 200 Chart

Posted on January 21, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny has taken the world by storm yet again…

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning singer’s “DtMF” blasts to No. 1, from No. 12, on the Billboard Global 200 chart, becoming his fifth leader on the list.

Bad Bunny ties Taylor Swift for the second-most No. 1s on the chart, and the most among soloists, since the survey began in September 2020. BTS leads all acts with seven No. 1s.

Bad Bunny scores five simultaneous Global 200 top 10s, all from his new LP, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which ascends to No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200 albums chart. The set reigns following its first full tracking week of activity (January 10-16; it was released January 5).

“DtMF” rules the Global 200 with 130.5 million streams and 3,000 sold worldwide January 10-16.

Bad Bunny previously hit No. 1 with “Monaco,” for a week upon its debut in October 2023; “Where She Goes” (in its debut week in June 2023); “Un x100to,” with Grupo Frontera (two weeks, May 2023); and “Dakiti,” with Jhay Cortez (now Jhayco; three, November-December 2020).

Bad Bunny also infuses the Global 200’s top 10 with “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” (10-4), “NUEVAYoL” (9-5), “VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR” (14-8) and “VeLDÁ” (22-9).

With three new top 10 hits, he swells his count to 24 top 10s since the chart began. Only Drake (35) and Swift (33) have more.

The Global 200 chart rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data.

Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” Rises to No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart

Posted on January 19, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny has reached the summit once again…

Following its first full week of activity, the 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos climbs 2-1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart dated January 25, scoring Bad Bunny his fourth leader on the list.

Bad Bunny’s album was released on an off-cycle Sunday (Jan. 5), and, thus, it arrived on the chart a week ago with only five days of activity (as the chart’s tracking week runs Friday through Thursday).

In the tracking week ending January 16, Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned 203,500 equivalent album units (up 67%) in the U.S., according to Luminate — largely driven by streaming activity.

The set was only available as a standard 17-song streaming album, and as a digital download for purchase (widely through all digital retailers, as well as Bad Bunny’s official webstore). Traditional album sales drove just under 8,000 of the album’s activity for the week.

Bad Bunny previously led the Billboard 200 with Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (in 2023), Un Verano Sin Ti (2022) and El Último Tour del Mundo (2020)

Of Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ 203,500 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Jan. 16, SEA units comprise 195,000 (up 72%, equaling 264.03 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it holds at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart for a second week), traditional album sales comprise 7,500 (down 3%, falling 6-8 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (up 123%).

The 264.03 million streams of the album’s songs mark the largest streaming week for any album since Kendrick Lamar’s GNX arrived with 379.72 million (Dec. 7, 2024 chart), and the largest for any Latin music album since Bad Bunny’s own Un Verano Sin Ti debuted with 356.55 million (May 21, 2022 chart).

Like in its opening chart week, Debí Tirar Más Fotos was sale priced for $4.99 in the iTunes Store, as well as in Bunny’s webstore.

As Debí Tirar Más Fotos is mostly in the Spanish language, it is the 28th mostly non-English-language album to hit No. 1, and the first of 2025. Four mostly non-English titles topped the list in 2024, and all were Korean-language efforts. Of the 28 mostly non-English-language albums to reach No. 1, 18 are mostly Korean, six mostly (or all) Spanish, one mostly Italian, one entirely French and two mostly a blend of Spanish, Italian and French.

Bad Bunny’s “DTMF” Debuts at No. 1 on TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart

Posted on January 17, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is making major moved on TikTok…

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning rapper, singer, actor and record producer’s “DTMF” becomes the first song to debut at No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart since August 2024, bowing atop the January 18-dated survey.

The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity January 6-12. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.

“DTMF” starts at No. 1 after the release of its parent album, Debi Tirar Mas Fotos, on January 5. It’s the fifth song since the ranking’s inception to debut atop the tally, following FamousSally and YB’s “Wassup Gwayy” (September 23, 2023), Playboi Carti’s “Sky” (Oct. 7, 2023), Bobby Caldwell’s “What You Won’t Do for Love” (February 24, 2024) and Clean Bandit’s “Symphony,” featuring Zara Larsson (August 31, 2024).

It’s also Bad Bunny’s first No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, which began in September 2023.

His previous best, “Monaco,” peaked at No. 5 in November 2023

“DTMF” benefits from uploads referencing the song’s lyrics (DTMF is an acronym for the album’s title), with users lamenting the losses of relatives, pets and relationships with photos and videos of their own. Bad Bunny himself posted a video on TikTok reacting to the trend.

“DTMF” concurrently debuts at No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 despite just five days of tracking (January 5-9), earning 11 million official U.S. streams in that span, according to Luminate. It’s expected to sport a sizable gain on the Billboard charts dated January 25 (Jan. 10-16), following its first full week of tracking.

Bad Bunny Expands Upcoming Residency at Coliseo de Puerto Rico to 30 Shows

Posted on January 15, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is expanding his Puerto Rican residency…

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar has added nine more dates to his residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, bringing his total to 30 shows at the iconic venue.

The summer stint is set to kick off Friday, July 11 and wrap on Sunday, September 14.

The addition of dates comes two days after the Puerto Rican hitmaker shared with his millions of followers on social media that while he does plan to unveil dates for shows in countries such as Mexico, Brazil and Spain later this year, for now, “I’m in Puerto Rico, I’m home, having fun and, to be honest, I don’t want to leave,” he says in the video.

“Thanks to music and the love you give me through my music, I’ve had the privilege of traveling to sing in different places of the world. I appreciate and love to do it,” Bad Bunny explains. “There are places I for sure will return to like Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia. And some I’ve never been to but would like to visit, like Brazil and Japan. And there are places I haven’t been to in a long time, like Italy, London, Spain, I know, and I promise before the year ends, I’ll tell you the date and time I will be visiting.”

As he walks down a hallway passing by posters of all his previous tours, including El Último Tour del Mundo and World’s Hottest Tour, Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) unveils a new poster that announces his No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency at El Choli.

Set to kick off July 11, the 30-date venture will launch with the first nine shows exclusively reserved for Puerto Rico residents.

According to a press release, the residency has sold over 125,000 tickets through its island-wide in-person sales.

Bad Bunny’s residency announcement follows the release of Debí Tirar Más Fotos, his latest album released January 5.

The set debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, securing Bad Bunny his seventh top 10-charting set.

Meanwhile, the LP opens at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart (dated Jan. 18), the largest streaming week for a Latin title in over a year.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos is Bad Bunny’s sixth studio album, and it’s a celebration of Puerto Rico and the sonic heritage that has soundtracked the island for generations, including plena and jíbara. The 17-track album includes collaborative efforts with Chuwi, Dei V, Omar Courtz, Pleneros de la Cresta and RaiNao — all Puerto Rican acts.

Ticket sales for those with pre-sale codes will begin on Friday, Jan. 17, at 10 a.m.

Bad Bunny to Co-Host & Perform on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Next Week

Posted on January 7, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is preparing for a Tonight to remember…

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar is set to make a special appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, January 13 as both a musical guest and co-host.

Bad Bunny will give a live performance of a song from his latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which was releases on Sunday, January 5.

The 17-track release is Benito Antonio’s sixth solo full-length, which is a riveting and charming homage to Puerto Rico, where he honors the native styles stylistically and thematically, encompassing new and traditional genres like jíbara, plena, salsa and reggaetón.

“I’ve been dreaming about this album for years, and seeing it come to life has brought me immense happiness,” Bad Bunny previously said in a press release. “I’ve always been honest with my followers, and through this new production, they’ll continue to learn more about me as I, too, discover more about myself. This album is the result of the experiences that have led me to get to know myself better, even getting to know the rhythms I enjoy most — the ones I truly enjoy singing and creating.”

In 2019, Bad Bunny made his first English-language TV interview on The Tonight Show, where he performed “Bellacoso” alongside fellow Puerto Rican rapper Residente.

His next appearance will mark the “El Clúb” hitmaker’s seventh time on the show. Prior to this engagement, Demi Lovato was the last artist to co-host the late-night show in 2022.

The episode starring Bad Bunny will be broadcast live on NBC at 11:35 p.m. ET and will also be available for streaming on Peacock the following day.

Bad Bunny Officially Releases New Studio Album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos”

Posted on January 5, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is paying homage to his beloved homeland…

With the release of his sixth solo album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, on Sunday, January 5, the 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning artist has unleashed a 17-track celebration of Puerto Rican culture and history.

“I’ve been dreaming about this album for years, and seeing it come to life has brought me immense happiness,” said Bad Bunny in a press release. “I’ve always been honest with my followers, and through this new production, they’ll continue to learn more about me as I, too, discover more about myself. This album is the result of the experiences that have led me to get to know myself better, even getting to know the rhythms I enjoy most — the ones I truly enjoy singing and creating.”

The album showcases a lineup of Puerto Rican talent, including collaborative efforts with Chuwi, Dei V, Omar Courtz, Pleneros de la Cresta and RaiNao.

Bad Bunny brings traditional Afro-Puerto Rican styles like plena and jíbara with contemporary reggaetón and synths, with the help of MAG, Tainy, La Paciencia and emerging beat makers Big Jay and Saox.

“I am Puerto Rican, I am Caribbean, and my music, my culture, my country’s history run through my veins, from plena to reggaetón,” Benito added. “At the peak of my career and popularity, I want to show the world who I am, who BENITO ANTONIO is, and who PUERTO RICO is.”

Debí Tirar Más Fotos follows the unparalleled success of his previous albums — Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023), Un Verano Sin Ti (2022) and El Último Tour del Mundo (2020) — which all soared to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making Bad Bunny the only Latin artist to achieve this milestone.
