The Puerto Rican star’s album Debí Tirar Más Fotos jumps to No 2, while the song DTMF rises to No 4
Despite being one of the most streamed musicians in the world, Bad Bunny had never had a solo UK Top 10 hit – until now.
The Puerto Rican musician has attracted a huge number of curious new fans – and jubilant preexisting ones – after last week’s Super Bowl, where he performed in a half-time show described by many people as one of the greatest in NFL history.
His album Debí Tirar Más Fotos – which won album of the year at the Grammys this month – jumped 42 places to No 2 in this week’s Top 40, beating its previous high of No 13, while the single DTMF rose 39 places to No 4.
Bad Bunny has been in the UK singles Top 20 twice before as a guest artist, on tracks by Cardi B and Drake. Two other tracks from Debí Tirar Más Fotos are in this week’s Top 20, with Nuevayol at No 15 and Baile Inolvidable at No 20. In the UK, where non-English language hits are rare, an artist having three Spanish-language songs in the Top 20 at once is likely to be unprecedented.
