Wait, that guy is "the biggest artist in the world"? I've never heard of him until this whole thing happened.
According to number of streams it'd be Taylor Swift or Bad Bunny, but Bunny has a much smaller catalogue and fewer active years. (And I think conservatives would be as annoyed if Taylor played as she was pretty outspoken about trump.)
But yeah, his music has been everywhere. Anecdotally, I think it's been played at 3/3 weddings I was at this summer, which I thought was neat considering none of the couples speaks Spanish.
I've (sadly) heard about Taylor Swift, but never heard one of her song (maybe a few second extract), but this is the first time I hear about "Bad Bunny"
I mean, if you're haven't really listened to arguably the biggest artist in the world, are you really surprised you don't know about the other big ones?
News media report (more like promote) about them, whether you listen to their stuff or not
I haven't heard about "Bad Bunny" in my country, which apparently is worth being downvoted for
Yeah, that surprised me. My guess is that your comment came off a little "how can this be popular if I haven't hesrd of it?" Which feels kinda boomery.
Don't know what to tell you, he's been on Canadian news a few times, subject of at least two Economist articles, BBC articles, Guardian articles etc. Maybe you missed the reports? I mean, if you don't know the name of the guy announced to headline the Super Bowl (by definition, fairly goshdarn famous) it's not like you'd be expected to be in touch with who is popular etc.
