This Latin music star has more YouTube views than Taylor Swift.
The Latin music star
surpassed her in worldwide YouTube views with over 5 billion views to her 4.3
billion.
Taylor Swift may be the most famous singer living in New
York City at the moment, but she can't compete with native New Yorker Romeo
Santos on YouTube.
When you break down that figure by city, Santos' 57 million
views in New York City surpass Swift's 32 million, despite the fact that Swift
has been named the city's "global welcome ambassador."
While Swift is a pop music queen, Santos is the "King
of Bachata," a lively genre of Latin music. His biggest hit,
"Propuesta Indecente," has garnered around 700 million views on
YouTube.
Swift's spokespeople did not respond to a request for
comment for this story.
Santos' popularity is demonstrated in more than just virtual
views, however.
Last year, the Bronx-born singer sold out Yankee Stadium two
nights in a row. Santos joined Paul McCartney and Madonna as one of a handful
of artists who have sold out the stadium, which has a capacity of roughly
50,000.
In July, Santos sold out three consecutive concerts at the
Barclays Center in Brooklyn, which holds roughly 18,000 people.
He's performed at the White House, on the "Today"
show, at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and he made his feature film debut
in this year's "Furious 7."
While Santos may be the leader in terms of sheer numbers,
other Latin artists such as Maná, Enrique Iglesias and Juanes have contributed
to the growth of Latin music. Juanes is even scheduled to sing for Pope Francis
when he visits the U.S. in September.
