J Balvin Helps Carry Out A Women-Empowered Mafia Mission In His New Video For ‘Triple S’

by

J Balvin is celebrating the ladies. Today (February 29), J Balvin has shared his new single, “Triple S,” which stands for “Suelta, Soltera, Sin Nadie Que La Joda” — which when loosely translated to English means “Single, Strong and Not to Be Messed With.”

On “Triple S,” Balvin teams up with De La Ghetto and Jowell & Randy, tapping into his reggaeton roots. Over a rhythmic, percussive beat, Balvin and crew champion strong women, celebrating their determination and strength.

In the song’s accompanying video, Balvin, De La Ghetto, and Jowell & Randy carry out a master plan for a brilliant woman mafia leader. The video, which takes place at Charles Sieger’s luxurious estate Chateau Artisan, contains a twist, ultimately leading this woman to the top.

For this new era of his illustrious music career, Balvin is pulling out all the stops. This April, Balvin will perform at Coachella on the main stage. And then soon after, he will embark on the Que Bueno Volver A Verte International Tour, during which, he will visit 20 European cities.

Balvin is also expected to drop two new albums this year — one of his own, and a collaborative album with Ed Sheeran.

In the meantime, you can see the video for “Triple S” above.

Usher Gets Help From LeBron James, J Balvin, And Jung Kook To Tease His Super Bowl Halftime Show In A New Video

by

Usher is currently preparing for one of the biggest performances of his storied career: the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. (It looks like he’s even cut sugar and alcohol from his diet to make sure his body is as ready as possible for the big day.) The Super Bowl is now just under a month away, as kickoff is set for February 11. Ahead of then, Usher has hyped up his performance with a new teaser video.

The video starts with a gospel choir singing, “Peace up, A-Town down,” before the rest of the clip is soundtracked by Usher, Ludacris, and Lil Jon’s 2004 hit “Yeah!.” From there, we’re treated to various clips from throughout the years, of either Usher or other people enjoying him and/or “Yeah!.” The video ends with the tagline, “One performance. 30 years in the making.”

Pay attention and you’ll spot appearances from LeBron James, J Balvin, and Jung Kook. Usher worked with Balvin last year, teaming up with him and DJ Khaled on “Dientes.” A couple months later, he linked up with Jung Kook for a “Standing Next To You” remix. LeBron, meanwhile, was pumped last year when he heard that Usher had landed the coveted halftime gig.

J Balvin Embarks On An Arctic Quest To Heal His Soul In His New Video For ‘Amigos’

by

J Balvin‘s new single, “Amigos” features the Colombian superstar making a return to his reggaeton roots. On the new drum-heavy track, Balvin reflects on a lost love, mourning the end of a once-happy relationship. The relationship, however, fell flat, due to both parties getting to accustomed to their day-to-day.

“It wasn’t your fault, but it wasn’t mine either / And maybe it seems crazy, but tell me if I’m wrong / It was our routine’s fault that our love got screwed / and I had to let you go even though it hurt me,” sings Balvin on the song’s chorus, translated from Spanish.

In the song’s accompanying video, directed by Patricia Alfonso, Balvin embarks on a journey to find himself and recover from heartbreak. Balvin makes his way through Matanuska Glacier National Park in Alaska. As he attempts to make his way through the top, he endures the cold, frigid, and rough conditions, before catching a glimpse of the aurora borealis.

Beginning early next year, Balvin will embark on the international Que Bueno Volver A Verte tour. A news release teases “an all-new show with new music where he will see arenas across 20 European cities, with stops in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, and The United Kingdom.

What Is J Balvin’s Best-Selling Album?

by

J Balvin is one of the biggest names in Latin music. The Columbian superstar is one of the main artists responsible for the rise of reggaeton among global audiences. He specifically helped the genre cross over into mainstream America. While he has not released an album since 2021, J Balvin has continued to be a prolific collaborator. He teamed up with Ed Sheeran for two singles, as well as working with the likes of El Alfa, Usher, and DJ Khaled.

Based on his activity on social media, it appears that J Balvin is working on new music. He also recently teased a possible collaborative album with Ed Sheeran. As we anticipate the next body of work from J Balvin, we are looking into what his biggest album to date is so far. That award goes to his third studio album, 2018’s Vibras.

J Balvin Soared With Vibras

Before 2018, J Balvin rapidly rose within the reggaeton and Latin music scenes. Vibras saw him entering the world stage. Primarily produced by close collaborators Tainy and Sky, the album includes features from Carla Morrison, Zion & Lennox, Rosalía, Wisin & Yandel, and more. Vibras‘s overall sound is primarily driven by reggaeton but also incorporates elements of pop and dancehall.

One of J Balvin’s main goals was to elevate reggaeton globally with an entirely Spanish-sung album. During its promotion, Balvin told Ebro Darden for Apple Music 1 that “the real meaning of this album was what’s going on with Spanish music that’s going so global, the fact that we did an album that the beats are so amazing that you don’t have to understand what we say, you just have to love the songs.”

Vibras, which translates to “vibes” in English, capitalized on reggaeton’s global appeal, leading to J Balvin’s international and commercial dominance. It is safe to say that he accomplished his goal, bringing reggaeton to mainstream pop music, resulting in his best-selling album to date.

A Decorated Discography

Vibras is certified 8x Latin Platinum in the United States, Diamond in Brazil, and Gold in Mexico and Canada. Its sales totaled 780,000 copies sold worldwide. Most impressive about these statistics is that J Balvin’s other albums have also been awarded numerous certifications in multiple countries.

His full-length collaboration with Bad Bunny, Oasis, is also 8x Latin Platinum in America, with Platinum and Gold certifications in other countries. Vibras may be J Balvin’s best-selling album, but his most recent releases, 2020’s Colores and 2021’s Jose, have earned multi-Platinum certifications in the U.S. and worldwide.

Balvin’s oldest works do not come as close to Vibras or his latest albums, but they sold quite well. His second studio album, 2016’s Energia, is Diamond and Gold in Mexico and 4x Latin Platinum in America. Nonetheless, J Balvin’s discography is decorated as he is one of the biggest names in the Latin music scene. What mainly sets Vibras apart as his best-selling album is that it includes his biggest hit single.  

Vibras Is Driven By A Global Hit

The biggest song from Vibras is “Mi Gente,” the global smash hit single with Willy William. The explosive banger took the world by storm upon its release. It peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 2 on the Latin Songs chart, and topped the charts in most Latin American countries. A reggaeton staple, the song is now multi-Diamond and Platinum in numerous countries.

What really pushed “Mi Gente” into the global stratosphere was its famous remix featuring Beyoncé, who performed the song with J Balvin at her iconic Coachella set. “Mi Gente” and its remix helped globalize reggaeton and Latin music, finding worldwide success and breaking into American audiences. The remix is currently certified 68x Latin platinum and 2x standard platinum. 

While its lead single heavily contributed to Vibras becoming J Balvin’s best-selling album, it also included other hit singles. Songs like “Machika” and “Ahora” performed well commercially, securing top 10 chart positions and Platinum plaques worldwide. Since 2018, J Balvin has released many chart-topping hit singles and diamond-selling albums, but Vibras remains his best-selling album to date.
