Add in Spotify, Apple Music and the rest, and one can credibly make a case that Yankee is the biggest star on вЂњCon CalmaвЂќ right now. The original вЂњCon CalmaвЂќ (and its Animoji dance video) has close to 800 million YouTube streams already, with the remix tacking on another 35 million so far. Yankee, whose 2004 single вЂњGasolinaвЂќ helped first popularize reggaeton, has billions of streams on YouTube alone. UrbanoвЂ™s prowess on streaming makes it a powerhouse any way you define it. But when done right, вЂњit shines the correct light on Latino artists.вЂќ If collaborators join up cynically, вЂњartists will be criticized,вЂќ Santos added.

Singles such as вЂњCon CalmaвЂќ arenвЂ™t just meeting a young, diverse audience where they live: TheyвЂ™re pushing all of pop music in its direction. вЂњBeyoncГ© is singing en espaГ±ol with J Balvin, and so is Alicia Keys with Pedro CapГі and Farruko,вЂќ said Enrique Santos, the chairman and chief creative officer of iHeartLatino, the radio and streaming platform. They didnвЂ™t have to вЂњcross overвЂќ - the U.S. The original music video, with Yankee as a particularly limber Animoji, came with its own dance craze that helped the song instantly go viral on YouTube, TikTok and other platforms.Д®ven the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival put Balvin and Daddy YankeeвЂ™s Puerto Rican peer Bad Bunny near the top of the main stage bill at this yearвЂ™s festival. Snow himself shows up too, with Perry on a new hook that harks back to her 2010 hit вЂњCalifornia Gurls.вЂќ (Even if PerryвЂ™s frothy lyrics such as вЂњHola, me llamo Katy / A little mezcal got me feelinвЂ™ naughty / I know that we donвЂ™t speak the same language / So IвЂ™m gonna let my body talk for meвЂќ have drawn mild rebuke from Latin critics.)Д«ut the songвЂ™s reggaeton churn (from Dallas production duo Play-N-Skillz) is fresh enough for modern nightclubs from YankeeвЂ™s San Juan to PerryвЂ™s Santa Barbara (via SnowвЂ™s Toronto). The remix of вЂњCon CalmaвЂќ is an inside-out revision of вЂњInformer.вЂќ It puts Yankee on the now-in-Spanish hook from the original, which Yankee said changed how he saw Caribbean styles interacting with pop. вЂњWhen travel and play, they hear our music all over the world. Prepare to hear this song everywhere all summer long.вЂњItвЂ™s a global movement now,вЂќ Yankee, 42, said. You could be my Puerto Rican dream, I'll be your California gurl now I see you're lovin' the way I work the floor now 'Calmly' or 'with ease,' she sees how the guy is looking at her-and loves how he's watching her shake it. She has adrenaline in the middle of the dance floor, come do whatever you want She is a murderer, when she dances she wants the world to see her In English, here's how that translates, according to Billboard: Tiene adrenalina, en medio 'e la pista, vente hazme lo que sea Yankee's chorus translates to him talking specifically about seeing a girl, um, shake her butt-and also liking how she moves and looks when she's on the dance floor.Д¬on calma, yo quiero ver como ella lo meneaД®s un asesina, cuando baila quiere que to' el mundo la vea The title 'Con Calma' literally translates to English as 'With Calm.' Essentially, it's about a guy calmly watching a girl dance the night away at the club. Now, before you inevitably get Yankee and Perry's new remix stuck in your head, let's break down the meaning behind the lyrics. BeyoncГ© also performed 'Mi Gente' during her Coachella set, and even added it to the set list of the On the Run II tour. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart, dethroning 'Despacito' and its 35-week reign. A few months later, BeyoncГ© collaborated with Colombian rapper J Balvin and French DJ Willy William for a song called 'Mi Gente.' It peaked at no. Since, the increase of Latin pop music consumption has been referred to as 'the 'Despacito' effect,' according to NBC News. Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' Has Three Grammy Noms.The music video then became the most viewed of all-time, with over 6 billion views. After a remix featuring Justin Bieber was released in April 2017, the inescapable song 'Despacito' received three Grammy nominations, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

This instant viral effect is just the latest example of what happens when a pop star hops on a reggaeton track.
