O n one day last month Spotify’s four most-streamed songs were “Ella Baila Sola”, an upbeat tune with a prominent trombone; “Where She Goes”, mixing R&B and rap; “un x100to”, medium-tempo and heavy on acoustic guitar and accordion, and “La Bebe”, a slow, mostly electronic bit of reggaeton, a style from Puerto Rico with a beat adapted from Jamaican dancehall. On the surface, these songs have little in common. But the world’s top four tunes, streamed over 20m times that day, do share one feature: they are all sung in Spanish.
上个月有一天，Spotify的四首最流行的歌曲是“ Ella Baila Sola”，这是一种乐观的曲调，带有杰出的长号。“她去哪里”，混合R＆B和说唱；“ Un X100TO”，中等节奏，在原声吉他和手风琴上沉重，而“ La Bebe”是一个缓慢的，主要是雷鬼的电子，这是波多黎各的一种风格，由牙买加舞厅改编自节拍。从表面上看，这些歌曲几乎没有共同点。但是，当天播放了超过20m次的世界前四首音乐，确实分享了一个功能：它们都是西班牙语。
