Since it was published last March,

has not moved from a place of high symbolic meaning: the first place on the list of best scores on the

website , with a 94 out of 100.

If we stay with that meter, the conclusion falls by its own weight:
Rosalía has published the best international album of 2022, unanimously acclaimed
.
But in the story of immediate history, long-distance races also matter, in addition to sprints, and we must wait for the summary judgment of the end-of-year lists.

Other expected lists reflect a similar hierarchy:

Bad Bunny is not only sweeping listeners on Spotify, but critics are finally kissing his feet.
For Rosalía, this reception of
Motomami
-which will not end with an imperial crown, but with abundant layers of laurel leaves- means her

.
It will be interesting to see how specialized Spanish magazines treat her case this year -which always divide their lists between national and foreign material-, but behind the scenes Rosalía is already a nuclear pop figure on a global scale.
The Motomami World Tour tour - which after the initial leg of July through Spain jumped to Mexico City in August and will conclude in Paris on December 18 - has taken Rosalía to large spaces in South America and, above all, the United States.

They could have been more, but at this point, and with everything that Rosalía has already amassed, no one can argue that the big prize is her
enormous impact
