2022 also proved to be an excellent year for Latin female artists

Anitta, the most streamed Brazilian artist outside of Brazil, reached the #1 spot on Spotify’s Global Charts with Envolver, making her the first Brazilian artist to reach the top of the charts. Karol G (#27 top streamed artist globally) also keeps her title as the most-streamed Latin-female artist for the third year in a row, with a 21-spot increase since 2021.

Other Latin-female artists made significant jumps within the last year, including Shakira (#57), who moved up 29 spots from last year; Rosalía (#84) and Anitta (#135) jumped over 100 spots.

Rosalía’s MOTOMAMI is the most-streamed album by a Latin female artist, with over 1.3 billion streams. Spotify supported the launch with a bespoke film showcasing the album’s duality through temporary tattoos that feature themes from the songs.
