So it's not surprising that when the 31-year-old star announced hisfirst concert residencyearlier this year, he triggered a frenzy. The 30-date residency at Puerto Rico's largest arena, Coliseo de Puerto Rico, sold out in four hours and caused long lines of locals who waited to buy the tickets for the first nine shows, which are intended for the island's residents.

Bad Bunny's "Un Verano Sin Ti" is a 23-song trove that spent a whopping 13 weeks in the top chart position. The commercial triumph was mirrored by critical acclaim and led the industry insiders of the Recording Academy to nominate it for album of the year at the 65th Grammy Awards.
