According to the latest sales report published by Promusicae , the official sales reference for the Spanish market and whose data has been compiled by GFK, C. Tangana takes first place in the top 100 albums in our country. Without a doubt, this is total confirmation that it has been the year for C. Tangana, an artist who won 3 Latin Grammys in its 2021 edition and whose album has been number 1 for several weeks in our country.
9 platinum albums
For his part, Rauw Alejandro becomes number 1 thanks to his song “Todo de ti”, which has allowed him to achieve 9 platinum records due to the success of this song. In addition, the Puerto Rican singer managed to get 6 more songs performed by him into the Top 100 songs list.
2021 has been a good year for music in our country. Streaming platforms such as Spotify or Amazon Music, among others, have increased their subscribers during the pandemic and music consumption on these platforms already represents 85% of music consumption. The number of subscribers who pay for this service already exceeds 50% and it is confirmed that in Spain the public listens to more music than before, since in 2021, 62 billion listeners were surpassed on digital platforms for the first time.
The sale of music in Spain
This increase in the use of digital streaming platforms confirms the good health of music in our country. In line with this, it means that in Spain there are a total of 733 artists whose songs and albums have been listened to more than 10 million times on these platforms, a number significantly higher than what was published in 2020.
"Vinyl sales have increased 30% in just one year"
Music in physical format has also been an important year. In total, 10% more physical products purchased in online or physical stores have been sold. Above all, it is worth highlighting the boost that vinyl sales have had, which, far from being a passing fad, strengthens the preference of the format among buyers by increasing sales in this category by 32%. A very different panorama from the one we found a few years ago where this type of format had stopped being consumed and which now returns stronger than ever.
