Established in partnership with George Prajin, Double P is the home of Mexican artist Peso Pluma who also serves as the imprint’s CEO and head of A&R.

Thania Garcia Spanish-language records were all over the map in 2023 — literally. Artists from across the Latin diaspora tested their musical breadth: reggaeton artists from Colombia and Puerto Rico tried their hand at Mexican music and in contrast, Mexican hitmakers infused the sounds of their homeland with rap and rock as last year‘s reggaeton titans — that’s Bad Bunny and producer Tainy — flexed their fluency with enthralling new releases.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Variety Hitmaker of the Year SZA, Karol G and Peso Pluma are among the big honorees in the Recording Industry Association of America’s year-end tally and its “Class of 2023,” recognizing the top albums, singles and first-timers who earned their first Gold & Platinum certifications in 2023. Highlights include: SZA has the most certifications with 15 titles, including the Top Album with 3x Platinum SOS and Top Single with 5x Platinum “Kill Bill” Peso Pluma scored the highest album certification for a first-time artist with his Platinum collection, “Génesis” Karol G scored the top Latin album with 5x “Platino Mañana Será Bonito,” while Carin Leon & Grupo Frontera’s collaboration “Que Vuelvas” is the top Latin single.

Thania Garcia Ahead of his first concert in Brazil, Peso Pluma recruited Brazillian singer Anitta for a sultry new reggaeton single called “Bellakeo.” On Thursday, Peso released the song’s dark and sensual official music video featuring Anitta and a crew of dancers dressed in all black performing a ritual on a man. In “Bellakeo,” which loosely translates to being sexually aroused or flirtatious, Peso and Anitta sing about their yearning for seduction.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Taylor Swift will earn more than $100 million from Spotify in 2023, according to calculations based on her leading number of streams for the year posted by the streaming giant in its year-end “Wrapped” tally. Based on the 26.1 billion streams she has accumulated since the beginning of the year, and using an average of $0.0035 cents per stream (an inexact calculation, but close enough to speculate), she would have earned around $104 million through November alone (“Wrapped” cut off late last month).

Thania Garcia In 2019, Mexican singer-rapper Yng Lvcas found the beat that would drive his chart-busting “La Bebe” on BeatStars, the online musical marketplace where Lil Nas X found the track for “Old Town Road.” An amalgamation of classic reggaeton drums, it was the work of Hasa King Beatz, an Ecuadorian producer who put the track up for sale earlier that year. At 24, Lvcas was already a local celebrity when breakthrough artist Peso Pluma came knocking on his door. Lvcas’ style borders on a mix of rap and reggaeton, and his talents speak to his dexterity in blending hip-hop with the Mexican folk ballads known as corridos.

Jordan Moreau Variety has announced additional honorees for its annual Hitmakers Event on Dec. 2 in Los Angeles. Sabrina Carpenter will receive the Rising Star Award presented by H&M, celebrating her transformative year as a music artist.

Thania Garcia Back in February, Pedro Tovar, frontman of Eslabon Armado, posted a short clip of himself grooving to the group’s song “Ella Baila Sola” (“She Dances Alone”) in his car.

The reaction was immediate.
