Bruno Mars is currently the most popular performer in the world

News over morning coffee. The world top performers on Spotify-I decode-on the "largest streaming platform in the world"-have been updated: Bruno Mars came first, pushing Taylor Swift and The Weeknd from the pedestal.

Surprisingly, the third is Lady Gaga. And it's here our universes collapse. They released a joint song in mid-August, and for quite a while, it was hanging on the first Billboard chart

Now she has almost 800M plays. I guess the hype around Joker also gave her some plays + she starts to roll out her new album.

Bruno Mars-what about him? Firstly, he broke the record for the most monthly listeners in Spotify: 120.9 million. Secondly, all this happened due to the feats. The very same collab with Gaga and a collab with Rose from the k-pop BLACKPINK group.

Conclusions: 1) make more features, 2) k-pop is the engine of the music business and 3) wear a virgin mustache like Bruno Mars. Third one is optional.

Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are dominating the music scene with their collaborations and individual successes! Features seem to be the key to topping the charts, along with the rising influence of k-pop. Exciting times for music lovers! 🎶🌟
