Yesterday, Luminate CEO Rob Jonas delivered a new Luminate report focusing on the Latin genre through both a cultural and commercial lens. Covering topics from subgenres to super fans, the report provides insights into the continued spread of Spanish-language music to both Hispanic and non-Hispanic listeners. The presentation, Latin Music and Its Impact on Culture and Commerce in the U.S. Marketplace, is available now for download here.

More than 1 in 13 songs streamed in the US is Spanish language, based on Top 10k US On-Demand Audio tracks.

Some new key findings from the report include:

  • Spanish-language streaming consumption among the Top 10k US On-Demand Audio tracks has grown from 4.37% in 2021 to 7.9% in 2023.*
  • Regional Mexican music has grown +56% in On-Demand Audio streams in the U.S. through the first 34 weeks of 2023 (week ending 8/24/23)
  • Latin music super fans spend +30% more on music-related activities than other music super fans in the U.S.
