Spotify Ranking: the 10 most listened songs in Mexico

Since the first records of human history, sound and music have always been present. Because it is a universal language, it is able to be understood and felt by anyone regardless of their language or culture.

Music has the ability to connect individuals to their emotions, whether it makes them feel happiness, nostalgia, sadness and a whole range of feelings through its broad styles or genres.

In this context, platforms such as Spotify have managed to take advantage of this and through its wide catalog of songs and artists it has positioned itself in the taste of users, who also have the possibility of listening to their favorite music through applications and even without needing access to the internet.

However, given the great variety that Spotify has, it could be easy to get lost in an industry that is rapidly updated, so here is a list of the singles that this Friday, March 18, are the most played by the Mexican public.

1. Chale

The song by Eden Muñoz has made a niche among the favorites of the moment. It has 732,114 reproductions, which is why it remains in the first position.

The rise of Spotify

Founded in 2006, the Swedish-born company formally started its activities in Europe on October 7, 2008 and has gradually gained a presence around the world, currently being in 187 countries and offering music by more than seven million artists.

Today, the streaming platform has agreements with the labels Universal Music, Sony Music, EMI Music, Hollywood Records, Interscope Records, Warner Music, among others.

On the subject of podcasting, Spotify announced in November 2020 the purchase and acquisition of the advertising and podcast platform Megaphone for 235 million dollars, which served for the monetization of audios.

According to figures published by Spotify, in 2019 it had 217 million subscribers, which increased to 345 million in 2020 and in 2021, despite the pandemic, they reached 365 million subscribers, of which nearly 50% are paying customers.

As a model, Spotify has proposed paying artists in its catalog a fixed price per song or album sold and gives royalties based on the number of artist plays in proportion to the total number of songs streamed, unlike its competitors, who pay for physical sales or downloads.

In addition, 70% of its total revenue goes to copyright holders, mostly record labels, who then pay artists based on their individual contracts.

It should be noted that currently anyone can enjoy the free Spotify service, as long as you are willing to put up with ads and with restrictions such as not being able to skip some songs.
