So many of music’s biggest stars released amazing music in 2022—but only one truly owned the year like no one else. Released this past May, ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’, the sixth project in four years by Puerto Rican megastar Bad Bunny, is not only Apple Music’s most streamed album of 2022 and now the biggest Latin album of all time, it spent more weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 than any album this decade. And beyond the eye-popping numbers, no artist better represents—or was more responsible for—the seismic shift in global pop over the past few years.
Further fueling the streams of ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’ is Bad Bunny’s corresponding World’s Hottest Tour, which broke records in the US and continues to sell out massive sports arenas and entertainment complexes in Latin America. He’s crossed over into acting, moving from his memorable role on Narcos: Mexico to an even more memorable one in this past summer’s blockbuster Bullet TraiN with Brad Pitt. He’s got an ongoing in-demand line of sneakers with Adidas that go out of stock within minutes of release. While the city of Los Angeles dedicated an official day to him, October 1, for his “immense cultural impact to the Latino community,” he raised money and awareness to help Puerto Rico recover from the devastation of Hurricane Fiona.
Below, explore Bad Bunny’s meteoric rise, the music he helped revolutionize, and the historic 2022 that made him our Artist of the Year.
