At just 22 years of age, Xavi, the new star of corridos tumbados, has begun to mark his own path within the highly competitive and close-fought music industry. And if he had previously surprised everyone and everyone by positioning himself as one of the most listened to on Spotify at the beginning of the year, even surpassing Featherweight, the Arizona native has taken the first “hit” in his young career.
According to the same streaming platform, Xavi has become the most listened to singer worldwide during January, leaving behind big stars such as The Weeknd, the famous rapper 21 Savage and the Colombian Feid.
The young singer even displaced Ariana Grande, and her long-awaited return to music, by leading the rankings during the previous weeks.
“La Diabla”: Xavi’s gateway to stardom
Despite his short and young career, Xavi has managed to obtain this honor thanks to one song in particular: “La Diabla”. The popular song by the young American currently has more than 237 million views. However, part of his great success is due to the momentum he has gained thanks to TikTok.
It should be noted that during the first days of 2024, Xavi was part of the Top 5 of the most listened to artists on Spotify. Ariana Grande and her song “Yes, And?”, the first single from her new album “Eternal Sunshine”, quickly took first place on the platform after its release.
However, and with just a few days, Xavi caught up with and surpassed Grande, becoming the current face and voice of the famous corridos tumbados.
Xavi’s great success has raised some concern among Featherweight followers and fans. And just like what Xavi is currently achieving, the one born in Jalisco achieved great recognition and rebound during January 2023, and then became the star of the moment.
Due to the above, a large number of fans of the regional Mexican genre have begun to speculate that perhaps Peso Pluma has lost its place to a younger singer with new ideas.
So far, the interpreter of “She Baila Sola” has not declared or published anything regarding Xavi’s stratospheric growth. The Mexican singer has “concentrated” in recent weeks on showing the great love that he enjoys with the singer Nicki Nicole through his social networks.
