Alok has a new musical alias, Something Else, with which the Brazilian superstar marks a significant departure from his usual, more pop-leaning work, Billboard can exclusively announce.
“When you think about Something Else, the idea that I had, [it’s that] I really love to connect with people. Sometimes when you get into a certain level of your career, [you find] you cannot fit into these places. I feel that Something Else gives me the freedom to express my creativity in different places,” Alok tells Billboard Español in a Zoom call. “It gives me the opportunity to go to places where Alok wouldn’t fit, but my heart fits. Even though Alok is my name, it’s my project, I really respect what we have build up with Alok. That’s always gonna be my main goal. But I also feel that my heart fits into other places as well.”
Known globally for his electrifying electronic pop anthems that have captivated millions, Alok, who launched his career 20 years ago, is branching outside of pop territory, and returning closer to his “psych trance and underground” roots. He debuted his latest venture Something Else to fans last year at global festivals such as the Universo Paralello in Brazil and the Zamna Tulum Festival in Mexico.

The announcement of his new project arrives with the release of “Miçanga”, a tropical house remix of an eponymous BaianaSystem track of which Billboard Español offers the first exclusive stream. Created under his new moniker, the artist joins Stephan Jolk and Kawz in this collaboration with BaianaSystem, five years after the release of the original song. “I felt that this [song] could really fit in our universe,” he says. “[BaianaSystem] does very solid conceptual work that is singular and unique.”
The inspiration for the new DJ/producer project arrived when he performed at his brother’s wedding in Thailand for about a small group of 50 family and friends. “We just started to play, and it was all about the vibe. It was all about just being there and connecting in a very introspective way. I missed that so much,” he says. “I don’t wanna say [Something Else] is one kind of style of genre. I just wanna be like, it’s something else from the ‘Alok’ and ‘pop’ that you saw at Belém.”
Last November, Alok — famed for pioneering and popularizing Brazilian bass on a global scale — performed a massive concert at the Mangueirão Olympic Stadium’s parking lot in Belém, Pará in northern Brazil, to kick off the one-year countdown of COP30 which will take place in said city this year. Just 100 miles south of the equator and close to the Amazon rainforest, 250,000 attendees arrived to experience is AUREA show, where he stood above a ten-story-high pyramid stage.
The “Hear Me Now” hitmaker gave his fanbase a taste of his more experimental side with his 2024 album, The Future Is Ancestral, where he collaborated with the Yawanawa tribe of Brazil, and other indigenous poets, scholars and musicians. “It’s also totally, completely different from what Alok releases,” he adds.
“With Something Else, with ‘Miçanga,’ for example, it’s just a place where I don’t have to be pressured. I can just do stuff that I like, even though I know they won’t work in the same [way] as Alok’s songs,” he adds. “But at the end of the day, I feel that as a DJ, and all DJs, we are here to serve. We’re here to please people. And to do stuff that we believe, stuff that we like.”
In April, the two-time Latin Grammy nominee will make his Coachella debut.

Charged with pride, nostalgia, and Puerto Rican culture, Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos album really struck a chord amongst fans.
The 17-track album notably includes “Baile Inolvidable,” the Puerto Rican rapper’s first attempt at a full-fledged salsa song backed by live instrumentations — congas, piano, trumpets and all that jazz. His melancholic and passionate vocals narrate the story of a man who can’t forget the woman he loved, especially the one who taught him how to dance. “I thought I was going to get old with you,” he reflects at the beginning of the tune.
What quickly became a fan-favorite and has people of all generations dancing salsa on social media hit No. 4 on the Billboard Global 200 chart this week. Overall, the new EP ascends to No. 1 in the U.S.-based Billboard 200 albums chart. The set reigns following its first full tracking week of activity (Jan. 10-16; it was released Jan. 5).

I thought I would grow old with youMaybe in another life, in another world it could beIn this one, all that remains is to leave one dayAnd only see you at duskIf you see me alone and sad, don’t talk to meIf you see me alone and sad, I’m guilty

While one is aliveOne must love as much as they can
I thought I would grow old with youMaybe in another life, in another world it could beIn this one, all that remains is to leave one dayAnd see the sky to see if you will fall

Bad Bunny reaches No. 1 on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart for the second time as “DtMF” soars 27-1 in its second week, topping the Jan. 25-dated tally.
In its first full tracking week of data (Jan. 10-16; the song was released alongside the rest of Bad Bunny’s new album Debí Tirar Más Fotos on Jan. 5), “DtMF” earned 34.9 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate.
“DtMF” is the second song in a row to rise to, rather than debut at, No. 1, following preceding leader “Die With a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, which first reigned on the Jan. 11 list following the end of the holiday season.
Bad Bunny notches his second No. 1 on the survey; “Me Porto Bonito,” with Chencho Corleone, led for two weeks in 2022.
Between “Me Porto Bonito” and “DtMF,” Bad Bunny’s best on the chart had been “Monaco,” which debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Oct. 28, 2023-dated ranking.
Music from Debí Tirar Más Fotos occupies Streaming Songs’ entire top two and four of its top 10; “Baile Inolvidable” follows at No. 2 (26.7 million streams), and then comes “Nuevayol” (No. 4, 23.5 million streams) and “Voy a Llevarte Pa PR” (No. 6, 19 million streams).
In all, the 17-song album – which concurrently ranks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as previously reported – occupies 17 spots on the 50-position chart, all the way down to No. 47, with “Lo Que Le Paso a Hawaii” (9.1 million streams).
The reign of “DtMF” on Streaming Songs was preceded by its No. 1 debut on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 dated Jan. 18, spurred by edits featuring the song set to photos and videos of passed-on loved ones.
“DtMF” also leaps 38-2 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100, also garnering 2,000 downloads in addition to its streams. On Hot Latin Songs, it’s Bad Bunny’s 16th No. 1 and takes over from “Nuevayol,” which had debuted at No. 1 the previous week.
Bad Bunny can do a lot of things — rap, act and wrestle, to name a few — but he couldn’t get through the spicy wings challenge on Sean Evans’ Hot Ones.
In the episode posted Thursday (Jan. 23), the Puerto Rican musician gave a valiant effort while taking on the wings of death — but the signs that he wouldn’t be able to make it to the end were present throughout. “I’m feeling it, and I don’t like it, because I’m worried about my colon,” Benito said after a few increasingly hot bites of chicken.
“I think I will be at the bathroom the whole trip from here to Puerto Rico,” he added.
Trending on Billboard
Despite lapping milk like a cat and icing his taste buds with ice cream, the “Titi Me Pregunto” rapper had to call it quits before he reached the end of the show’s hot sauce lineup. “There’s no way I’m going to eat all of those,” he said breathlessly, saying that his whole face felt hot. “There’s no way.”
Though Evans comforted Bunny in person, Hot Ones made sure to tease him a little bit in post-production. Editing a picture of the Grammy winner onto its “Wall-Most Made It,” the web series officially inducted him into its academy of past guests who didn’t reach the finish line — including Ice Spice, DJ Khaled and Ricky Gervais.
Bunny’s Hot Ones appearance comes a few weeks after the release of his new album, Debi Tirar Mas Fotos, which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in its second week. Before he succumbed to spice overload, the musician talked about his signature sound with Evans, saying, “Especially on this album, there’s a lot of salsa, there’s all the rhythms that I’ve never done before.”
From appearing on The Tonight Show to staging a surprise performance in the New York subways, Benito has also been doing a lot of press in the United States for the LP — something he says he enjoys, though he’s “still struggling with the English.”
“I need to put a lot of attention to you to understand you,” he told Evans, before exclaiming with a numb tongue, “But now I’m struggling with the f–king spicy on my mouth.”
Watch Bad Bunny try — and fail — to conquer Hot Ones above.
A week after Bad Bunny placed the first No. 1 from new album Debí Tirar Más Fotos on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, the Puerto Rican notches a second champ, as “DtMF” climbs 5-1 to lead the list dated Jan. 25, for his 16th ruler to date. The album’s title track replaces “Nuevayol,” which drops 3-1 after one week in charge.
By knocking his own song from the podium, Benito becomes the only act to replace itself at No. 1 five different times on Hot Latin Songs, since the chart launched in 1994.
Trending on Billboard
The Puerto Rican’s self-replacement streak begun in 2019 when “La Canción,” with J Balvin, ceded the throne to his own “Vete” (Dec. 7, 2019-dated ranking). “Moscow Mule” followed, trading places, after one week atop, with “Me Porto Bonito,” with Chencho Corleone (list dated May 28, 2022). As the latter finished its 20-week coronation in October 2022, it was ejected from the penthouse when “Titi Me Preguntó” begun its 14-week domination on the Oct. 15, 2022-dated tally. A year later, Bad Bunny’s featured role in Drake’s “Gently,” a one-week leader, yielded a new replacement, trading places with the 10-week ruler “Mónaco” (Oct. 28, 2023).
In total, nine acts have replaced themselves at No. 1 in the chart’s 38-year history, which blends airplay, digital sales and streaming activity. Out of those, in addition to Bad Bunny’s five self-replacements, two artists have replaced themselves at the summit at least twice: Ozuna (2018, 2019) and Karol G (2022, 2023).
“DtMF” vaults at No. 1 with the Greatest Gainer/Streaming honors in its first full tracking week. It registered 34.9 million official streams, and 2,000 sales downloads in the week ending Jan. 16, according to Luminate. Those sums yield a No. 1 on the overall Streaming Songs and Latin Streaming Songs charts, plus a No. 16 start on the Digital Song Sales and a 2-1 jump on Latin Digital Song Sales.
Beyond its Hot Latin Songs coronation, “DtMF” rallies 38-2 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, his highest rank since “I Like It,” with Cardi B and J Balvin, topped for one week in July 2018.
Further, as “DtMF” leads, Benito extends his Hot Latin Songs record among Latin rhythm artists, with 16th No. 1s, tying with Luis Miguel for the second-most, both behind Enrique Iglesias who still holds the most champs to date, 27.
Here’s a recap of the artists with the most leaders since Hot Latin Songs launched in 1994:

The report, based on an exhaustive analysis of data collected weekly throughout the year, reveals that Spanish-language music reaffirmed its dominance in the country with 94 of the 100 most popular songs performed in this language, and 46 of them belonging to Spanish artists. It takes into account figures from 90% of physical points of sale in Spain, data from digital stores and audio streaming platforms. Since 2022, it also considers views of music content on YouTube, reflecting a broader picture of current music consumption in the country.
Trending on Billboard
Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” (Universal Music) led the Top 100 Canciones (songs) chart, followed by Feid and ATL Jacob’s “Luna” (Universal) and “La Bachata” by Manuel Turizo (Sony Music). Other top tracks included Myke Towers’ “La Falda” (One World Music) and “Santa” by Rvssian, Rauw Alejandro and Ayra Starr (Sony Music). In addition, for 27 weeks of 2024, Spanish artists topped the charts with albums such as El Último de la Fila’s Desbarajuste Piramidal (Warner Music Spain), Chanel’s ¡Agua! (Sony Music) and David Bisbal’s Todo es Posible en Navidad (Universal Music Spain), which closed the year.
Swift dominated the Spanish charts with her album The Tortured Poets Department (Universal Music), the bestselling album of 2024 and leader of the Top 100 Vinilos (vinyl) chart. The album spent 36 weeks on the Top 100 Álbumes (albums) chart and went Platinum. Meanwhile, Boone became the undisputed star of Spanish radio with his ballad “Beautiful Things” (Warner Music), being the most played song of the year on the radio.
The report also underscores the weight of Latin artists in the Top 100 Álbumes, with several names dominating the charts week after week. Karol G cemented her global impact with two albums in the top spots — Mañana Será Bonito reached No. 2 and Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) reached No. 10 — highlighting her leadership in Latin music during 2024. Bad Bunny secured No. 5 with Un Verano Sin Ti and No. 6 with Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. Quevedo ranked No. 3 with Donde Quiero Estar, followed by Saiko’s Sakura (Saikoneta) at No. 4.
Other artists who ranked No. 1 in individual weeks include Duki, Rauw Alejandro, Jhayco, Omar Courtz, Dei V and Eladio Carrion. Shakira closed the year with Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran at No. 14, while Dei V’s Quién Es Dei V? reached No. 16.
For the president of PROMUSICAE, Antonio Guisasola, these figures “confirm the robust health of recorded music and the public’s ongoing interest in it, supported by the increasing number of paid streaming subscriptions as well as the continued purchase of physical formats like vinyl, which shows the public’s commitment to engaging with their favorite artists’ work,” he said in a press release.
2024 was a record year for digital music consumption in Spain. Streaming platforms registered 98.5 billion plays, 13% more than the previous year. In addition, more than 1,180 artists surpassed 10 million listens, and 70 of them exceeded 100 million. For the first time, weeks 49 and 51 reached 2 billion streams in a single week, a historic achievement driven by the Christmas campaign.
Another noteworthy fact is that amid the digital boom, vinyl maintained its relevance with a 9% growth in sales during 2024. More than 50% of the records in Top 100 Vinilos were by Spanish artists. Among them, Arde Bogotá’s Cowboys de la A3 (Sony Music) reached No. 2 on the annual list, after spending five weeks in the top spot. Dani Martín’s El Último Día de Nuestras Vidas (Sony Music) took fourth position with just four weeks of sales, while Rosalía’s Motomami (Sony Music), a hit since 2022, closed the year in sixth place.
Univision has unveiled the 2025 Premio Lo Nuestro nominations today (Jan. 22) with Becky G and Carín León taking the lead with 10 nods each.
The two Mexican superstars are followed by Shakira and Myke Towers with nine nominations each and the eight-time nominees Ángela Aguilar, Emilia, Grupo Frontera, and Leonardo Aguilar. Nominations “are based on airplay on Uforia stations and take into account airtime on Univision Radio, streaming data, and evaluation by a Television Committee composed of music and entertainment industry experts,” according to a press statement.
Reflecting the diversity of genres including urban, pop, tropical, and Mexican music, six of the 44 categories are new additions: Best Dembow Song, Best Latin Fusion Pop Song, Best Christian Music Song, Best “EuroSong”, Mexican Music Fusion of the Year, and Best Electro Corrido.
