Latin music has been a huge part of American culture in the last two decades. Legendary musicians like Shakira and Daddy Yankee, as well as Bad Bunny, not only have topped the charts but also influenced several music genres.
In this article, we are going to highlight some of the most listened-to Latin artists in 2024.

You might be surprised to hear that the young Puerto Rican has released five solo studio albums, with the latest one being Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, released in 2024.
His songs like Tití Me Preguntó, Efecto, and Ojitos Lindos have all surpassed more than one billion streams. He had around 66 million monthly listeners on Spotify in April 2024 and the rapper shows no signs of slowing down.
He’s also currently on tour in America.

She has released 12 studio albums till 2024, her latest one being Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, which has already received the 7× Platinum certification from the RIAA.

The Mexican icon has also collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry and currently has more than 52 million listeners on Spotify.
The singer has released three albums since his debut in 2020. His latest album, Éxodo, is set to release sometime in 2024.
Some of his songs that stand out among his impressive discography include Ecca Baila Sola, QLONA, and La Bebe – Remix.
