How Bad Bunny won 2022
For Switched On Pop\u2019s end of year coverage, we just have one superlative: who won 2022? The answer, of course, is Bad Bunny. This year alone, the prolific Puerto Rican artist has topped charts worldwide, became Spotify\u2019s most streamed artist globally, and his record Un Verano Sin Ti has obtained many accolades including being the first Spanish-language album nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys.\n\nThe record itself serves as a textbook to the sounds of Latin America: over the course of 23 songs, we\u2019re introduced to bachata, dembow, cumbia, merengue, bomba, and of course, reggaeton. This episode, alongside LA Times journalist Suzy Exposito, we unpack Un Verano Sin Ti and why the album is so important, both for Bad Bunny and the Latin diaspora.\n\nVote for the Signal Awards: https://vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting#/2022/shows/general/music\n\nSongs Discussed:\n\n\nBad Bunny \u2013 Callaita\n\nBad Bunny \u2013 Diles\n\nCardi B, Bad Bunny, J Balvin \u2013 I Like It\n\nN.O.R.E., Daddy Yankee, Nina Sky, Gemstar, Big Mato \u2013\xa0Oye Mi Canto\n\nRuben Blades \u2013 Pl\xe1stico\n\nBad Bunny \u2013 Despu\xe9s de la Playa\n\nBad Bunny \u2013\xa0Tit\xed Me Pregunt\xf3\n\nBad Bunny \u2013 El Apag\xf3n\n\nH\xe9ctor Lavoe, Fania All Stars \u2013 Mi Gente - Live\n\nOmega \u2013 Si Te Vas\n\nAventura, Don Omar \u2013 Ella Y Yo\n\nNando Boom \u2013 Ellos Benia Dem Bow\n\nDaddy Yankee \u2013 Gasolina\n\nEl General \u2013\xa0Tu Pun Pun\n\nShabba Ranks \u2013 Dem Bow\n\nEl Alfa, CJ, Chael Produciendo, El Cherry Scom \u2013 La Mam\xe1 de la Mam\xe1\n\nBad Bunny \u2013 Me Fui de Vacaciones\n\nBad Bunny, Bomba Est\xe9reo \u2013 Ojitos Lindos\n\nStan Getz, Jo\xe3o Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto \u2013 The Girl From Ipanema\n\nBad Bunny \u2013 Si Veo a Tu Mam\xe1\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
