No matter how far away you are, it will sound pretty much the same on your headphones as anywhere else in the world
First of all, we have to warn you that this is not going to be too exotic a trip: we are children of globalization and as such we hear the same song at the same time In most countries. It happens with the world number one, onedance , by Drake. The thing reaches such a point that it is easier to say the countries in which it is not succeeding -almost always in the first place of the list, at most in the second or third- than in those in which he does.
The fact probably responds to the already incontestable factor that Drake is an industry giant, that he has also counted for this single with Nigerian pop star Wizkid and with Kyla , a British until the day before yesterday practically unknown. To her, however, the hit yes that has caught him by surprise , because he was making a break in his career in a town near London due to his recent motherhood.; just a few days after sony's call saying that they had sampled one of his songs to include it in the single, it has been seen in the crest of the wave.
Another of the topics that stand out on the lists, especially in Spain, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay -in all is number one- is The heart hurts, by Enrique Iglesias. He seems already indisputable summer wave leader comes back with that soft accent that doesn't belong anywhere and phrases as lucid as "With him your heart hurts, with me your feet hurt." Of course, collaboration with some reggaeton genius for the experiment to have an output, and this time it is Wisin the chosen one. Prepare your ears, because during the coming months you will hear its Latin cadence even in the soup.
Whether you like it or not, you're going to end up dancing to the rhythm of Enrique Iglesias. Again.
Football has also made a hole in the most heard of Austria and Poland with This one's for you, the original track of the European Championship. The sports anthem is sung by David Guetta, Zara Larsson and a million french fans , who have lent their voice to the song with the most singers in the history of music. It also seems to be the winning soundtrack of the summer fairs.
In Brazil, strangely, we find a theme created in the country itself who reaches first place. Is about Boom Grenade , A song of pounding rhythms and deep voice composed by MC's Zaac and Jerry that is sweeping the country. So far it takes more than 50 million views on Youtube and it is a sales record on iTunes, in addition to being a hit on Twitter, where they do not stop talking about it. The best is that the theme was born in the "fluxos", that is, in the funk parties in the streets of São Paulo.
Others who like the product and the national language are the Nordics . Denmark has Nede Mette at the top, a rap by Blak with minimalist accompaniment about a girl so beautiful that all men adore her and all her girls hate her (yes) . In Finland, the type of music that claims the first place is practically the same only the theme in this case is called Hehkuu and it's sung in Finnish by JVG. It's worth listening to: after all How many times do you get a chance to hear a Bronx beat with the lyrics in a Viking language?
Girl happy to finally hear singing in a language that is not English
In Sweden, Mike Perry and Shy Martin are the most listened to with The Ocean, a song sung in lingua franca , that is, English, which could have come from the cold lands of the North or California. Something similar happens with Allan Walker, a Norwegian producer who is at the top with Sing me to sleep in his country and with Fade in ... Malaysia! Of course, there it must arrive on a delayed basis, because the song is from 2014.
To put an end to patriotism, we make a short trip to Taiwan, where 你, ?(TVBS wins. We have tried to translate it with Google and it comes out something like "And you agree?" We have also been able to elucidate that it is the Life List Series Ending Theme, and what is certain is that it is one of those romantic ballads that seem typical of the nineties but at the same time They never quite go out of style.
The rest is all globalization, as we said, although perhaps they are saved Shakira and Carlos Vives Falling in love with his homeland, Colombia, with La Bicicleta. In so many countries it's hard to count them Sia triumphs with Cheap Thrills, although they could have been Rihanna or Icona Pop, who they refused to stay with the topic . In fact, the entire disc, This is acting, They are tracks composed by the Australian artist that no one else wanted to stay and even so, according to critics, it has remained a more than decent album.
Dance very hard listening to our list
Speaking of Rihanna: with its musical incontinence (This girl puts out records with the same naturalness with which others light up a cigarette) It was strange that she wasn't at number one in some country. she does it in Hong Kong and Singapore, accompanying to Calvin Harris in This is what you came for. The partying video of the theme came out five days ago and already has more than 22 million views.
Another theme that only succeeds in one country is Secret love song, by Little Mix and Jason Derulo. Interestingly, this other ballad, which can hardly be distinguished from any other produced in the last twenty years -although that happens with most of the tracks on this list-, it is the most listened to in Philippines. Is it because he gives to show off at karaoke?
In the same situation are The Chainsmokers (the creators of _#Selfie) _ and Daya, who dominate top spot in indonesia with Don't let me down. Apparently, there is strength in unity: the charts are saturated with collaborations and, let's be honest, quite unimaginative. But who will care about that after three mojitos by the sea? Happy music day!
