Is reggaeton’s fire going out?
Tagged: Daddy Yankee, don omar, radio“Reggaeton may be running out of gasolina.
Radio stations that flocked to the thumping Latino hip-hop style have seen their ratings slip in recent weeks. In at least three markets — Las Vegas, Dallas and Miami — stations that gambled on the music’s growing popularity have since switched back to more traditional musical formats.
One year after the genre exploded onto the scene with Daddy Yankee’s revved-up hit Gasolina, reggaeton is suffering from a lack of new artists and fresh material. The same handful of performers — Yankee, Tego Calderon, Don Omar, Luny Tunes, Ivy Queen — have dominated radio play lists, sales charts and concert lineups for more than a year, an eon in pop music terms.”
