Though the year isn’t over just yet, YouTube has revealed the top-viewed music videos of 2019. Notably, seven of the top 10 tracks either belong to or feature Latino artists, Billboard reports, as does every clip in YouTube’s top five.
The ranking is topped by Daddy Yankee (pictured above), whose clip for “Con Calma” has nabbed 1.6 billion views to date. He is followed by: Rosalia and J Balvin’s “Con Altura” (1.1 billion views), which features El Guincho; Anuel AA and Karol G’s “Secreto” (891 million views); Anuel’s “China” (855 million views), featuring Daddy Yankee, Karol, Ozuna, and J Balvin; and Jhay Cortez’s “No Me Conoce” (Remix), which features Balvin and Bad Bunny, and which has clocked 792 million views to date.
The list is rounded out by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s “Senorita” (777 million) and Maluma’s “HP” (617 million).
Billboard had previously reported the top 10 videos of the year, but subsequently removed three of the tracks, which YouTube will presumably release at a later date. You can check out the clip for “Con Calma” below:
