Peso Pluma Comes Out on Top this Year

In an exceptional year marked by unparalleled success, the 24-year-old Mexican musical sensation, Peso Pluma, has emerged as the definitive victor of 2023. With the release of his latest album, "Génesis," this summer, Peso Pluma secured the coveted title of YouTube's No. 1 most-viewed artist of the year in the U.S., surpassing all expectations and amassing a staggering 8.5 billion views throughout the year.

A significant contributor to this triumph was his collaboration with Eslabon Armado on the Billboard chart-topper "Ella Baila Sola," which claimed the No. 3 spot for the most-streamed song on YouTube in 2023. Adding to his impressive repertoire, Peso Pluma surprised fans by dropping a new single, "Rompe La Dompe," just yesterday, further solidifying his position as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

Expressing his gratitude and humility, Peso Pluma acknowledged the collective efforts of his musicians, team, dedicated fanbase, and the support from YouTube and the entire project team. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, he highlighted the significance of this achievement and the collaborative spirit that fueled his success.

Beyond YouTube, Peso Pluma's influence resonates across various platforms. Last month, he dominated Spotify's most-streamed artists, songs, and albums of 2023. Additionally, his prowess was on full display at the Billboard Latin Music Awards in October, where he clinched an impressive eight trophies, showcasing his multifaceted talent.

In a noteworthy interview with USA TODAY earlier this year, Peso Pluma underscored the global impact of Mexican music, asserting, "It is no longer regional music anymore. This is global, and everyone is listening to Mexican music all over the world." He expressed his joy at being recognized as a trailblazer, aspiring to leave a lasting legacy and influence in the industry.

Despite his rapid rise, Peso Pluma remains grounded, emphasizing the importance of artistic excellence and impact over chasing numerical rankings. The top five artists of 2023 on YouTube, alongside Peso Pluma, feature other formidable names such as YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Drake, Bad Bunny, and Taylor Swift, showcasing the dynamic and diverse landscape of musical talent that captivated audiences throughout the year. As Peso Pluma continues to make waves, "Rompe La Dompe" adds a fresh and exciting chapter to his remarkable musical journey.
