Party On, Spain: Urban Music Rules the Dance Floors
Hey there! Spain's nightlife scene has a new groove running through it, and it's all thanks to urban music. That's right, one third of the tunes played in Spanish nightclubs are from the urban genre, according to a study by the Society of Authors and Publishers (SGAE) and the National Federation of Entertainment and Spectacle Entrepreneurs, Spain by Night.
So, what's the hottest thing in town? It's none other than reggaeton, which commands a whopping 35.67% of the floor-fillers. Pop comes in a close second with 28.93%, but the low share of electronic music at just 2.70% definitely catches your attention.
Other genres making an appearance include rock, alternative music, reggae, universal or ethnic music, and a smorgasbord of other styles, each squeezing in a piece of the action.
But wait, there's more! This study comes packed with some mind-blowing stats. For instance, 60% of the tracks played in nightclubs never see the light of day on the radio. The diversity of songs played over the last three months of 2024 amounts to 98,000 tracks by 36,000 artists and producers. That's a whole lotta jams!
The study's findings were gathered using a monitoring system developed by BMAT Music Innovators, scrutinizing the tracks played in clubs, bars, and concert halls across the region. It's all about ensuring fair and balanced distribution of copyrights.
