#473 Daddy Yankee, 'Barrio Fino' (2004)

New Entry

I don’t know enough about Reggaeton to have a fully formed opinion on this, but what I do know for certain is that I don’t need 21 tracks of it in a row. Daddy Yankee found unprecedented success with the single ‘Despacito,’ along with Luis Fonsi and later on Justin Bieber (the song was a major success in its own right, but Biebs took it to the next level – 1.3 billion streams on Spotify currently). Well before that song, was this album which was his first success internationally. He won a Latin Grammy and the song ‘Gasolina’ was absolutely everywhere in 2004. I’ll admit, that song took me straight back to the clubs that I so hated in my early 20s. I had no idea that was Daddy Yankee. This list definitely took a turn with this one and I definitely need a palate cleanser.
