Bad Bunny’s 2022 album ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’ is now the most-streamed album in Spotify history, dethroning Ed Sheeran’s ‘Divide.’

Bad Bunny’s insurmountable success has led him to break yet another Spotify record as his 2022 album, Un Verano Sin Ti, becomes the most-streamed album in the history of Spotify. The Puerto Rican artist, named Spotify’s Artist of the Year in 2022 for the third consecutive time, has beaten out the previously most-streamed album, Ed Sheeran’s Divide.

Un Verano Sin Ti was released in May 2022 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with 356.66 million on-demand streams for the album’s songs in the first week — the largest streaming week ever for a Latin music album. The album earned 274,000 equivalent album units in the US, according to data from Luminate.

The record spent 13 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with 22 songs from the set on the Billboard Hot 100, the most in a week for a core Latin music artist and the most in a week performed all in Spanish. Un Verano Sin Ti became the first non-English album ever to top the Year-End Billboard 200.

Featuring collaborations with The Marías, Buscabulla, and Chencho Corleone, the album also made history at the Grammys last year as the first Spanish-language album to receive a nomination for Album of the Year.

“I never dreamed I wanted to be the biggest one or No. 1. I simply wanted to make it. Why? Because I love what I do. I’ve been doing rhythms since I was 13 years old, writing, singing songs in my head,” Bad Bunny told Billboard last year. “I never said I want to be the biggest or the best or the richest. I did it because I loved it, and my only dream was to be able to make a living out of it.”
