GLOBAL GAINS: TAY, PESO, BZRP AND MORE

A glance at the daily Spotify global chart reveals the dominance of Taylor Swift and Latin hitmakers Peso Pluma, Bizarrap, Rauw Alejandro and Fuerza Regida.

Swift and Pluma have been trading places as the artist with the most spots on the Spot's chart. On 6/26 Pluma got the edge with 14 cuts in the Top 200, including collabs at #1 and #5 and two arrivals from his album Génesis, "Lady Gaga" and "Luna," which climbed to #11 and #16, respectively.

Swift has 12 tracks in the Top 200, led by Lover's "Cruel Summer," claiming a new peak of #3. The Republic superstar's mind-blowing range of activity spans songs from Midnights, 1989, Speak Now, folklore, reputation and the aforementioned Lover—and that's just in the Top 100.

Notable new action includes that surrounding Bizarrap and Rauw Alejandro, who drop two new collabs. The first, "Rauw Alejandro: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 56" opened at #4 last week; the second is five-day-old "BABY HELLO," about to enter the Top 50. BZRP now has five songs in the Top 200.

Sony Latin's Fuerza Regida, meanwhile, is also making noise with two new singles as the just-released "SABOR FRESA" joins "TQM" in the Top 20.

Our abacus is likewise tracking Myke Towers' heat-seeking "LALA" (One World/Warner Latina), which should enter Spotify's daily global chart by the end of the week. The song has exploded on TikTok, generating north of 200k creations in the last month.
