Portorican reguetoner Wisin has marked a new milestone in his musical career by officially entering Spotify’s Billions Club.
The recognition comes after overcoming the barrier of the billion reproductions with his song “Escápate Conmigo”, released in 2017 in collaboration with his colleague and compatriot Ozuna.
The figure places the song within a highly reserved catalogue at a global level, since the streaming platform only grants this distinction to the productions that manage to surpass this number of listenings. As part of the recognition, Spotify delivers a commemorative physical plate to both the artist and his team as a symbol of cultural impact and massive reach.

Through his social networks, the urban interpreter expressed his enthusiasm and gratitude to the important welcome that the singleins almost a decade after its launch. “Million streams on Spotify, what a great blessing. Thank you to my brother Ozuna for sharing this song with me, and to each one of you for listening to it, singing it and making it a part of the story,” he said.
He also emphasized the fundamental role of his audience in achieving the achievement: “This achievement is of all those who believed in it.
With this achievement, Wisin adds to the selected list of boricuses that make up the exclusive Spotify club, a distinction in which figures from urban and international music like Bad Bunny —who leads the boricue presence on the platform—, Daddy Yankee, Rauw Alejandro, Farruko, Pedro Capó, Luis Fonsi, Ozuna, Nicky Jam, Tainy and Jhayco, among other exponents of the genre.
The impact of “Escape With Me” reaffirms the validity of the classical reguetone and the consolidation of Wisin’s musical legacy in the Latin industry worldwide.
