  • Interview C. Tangana: "In Spain we don't claim many things because we have a stupid cultural complex"

C. Tangana

has placed his album 'El Madrileño' in the most requested album -physically and digitally- of 2021, in addition to achieving the first position in the first annual count of the list of the best-selling vinyl records, according to the data that GfK has collected for Promusicae and AGEDI.

Behind 'El Madrileño', there remain other Spanish artists who are usual in the top positions, such as

Alejandro Sanz

in fourth place with his latest work, 'Sanz'.

Also,

Aitana

maintains her album '11 reasons' in sixth place.

Fito y Fitipaldis

is in eighth position with 'Cada vez cadaver', his most recent album, and Dani Martín, with 'No, no Volver' also enters the top 15. Latin music, for its part, places several representatives of this genre also in the top positions.

Thus, the Colombian

Camilo

achieves second place with his second studio work, 'Mis Manos'.

The success of

Rauw Alejandro

is also strongly reflected in the list, by simultaneously placing two works in the top 10 albums: 'Vice versa', the album that contains his hit 'Todo de Ti' (fifth position) and 'Aphrodisiac ' (#10), her first studio album released in 2020.

Bad Bunny

, the successful Latin artist on last year's lists, is content this time with the ninth and eleventh position ('El Último tour del mundo' and 'YHLQMDLG', respectively).

Meanwhile, Dua Lipa positions her 'Future Nostalgia' in third place, making it the best-selling English-language album in Spain.

As for the Top 100 Songs, the domain is for the Puerto Rican Rauw Alejandro who with 'Todo de ti' achieves number one, in addition to monopolizing nine platinum discs for the success of his song in Spain and placing more than six songs in the Top 100 Songs.

Streaming has represented 85%

of music consumption in the year, an option that is endorsed by paid subscriptions that already account for 54% of total streaming consumption

.

According to Promusicae, in 2021 there has been "a milestone" in this type of recorded music consumption, since it exceeded 62,000 million listeners on digital platforms for the first time.

The equivalent of all this digital consumption on physical discs would be sales of some 18 million albums.

As a result, 733 artists managed to have their songs heard in Spain more than 10 million times (161 more than the previous year).

Thus, 25 of them have even managed to place themselves even higher in the public's preferences, by managing to obtain more than 100 million listeners of their works, a milestone surpassed by 10 more artists than in 2020.

The recorded music sector completes its year noting new growth in the physical market in the figures for the year.

In this sense,

10% more music is sold on physical media

and up to 32% more vinyl records.

All these market figures represent a global growth in music consumption of 20% compared to the previous year.

"Although our annual figures are still far from the years with the highest record sales, the volume of listeners provided by streaming means that artists are beginning to obtain decisive income to develop their careers professionally," said Antonio Guisasola, president of Promusicae.
