There's no denying that Camila Cabello has had a knockout year. Not only has her debut solo single 'Crying in the Club' been certified Gold in the UK but its follow-up, 'Havana', has gone on to become one of the biggest singles of the year worldwide.

On top of that, Camila has just been named Spotify's top breakout star this year.

Havana, ooh na-na (ayy) (Hey)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy) (Hey)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na, ah
All of my heart is in Havana (ayy)
There's somethin' 'bout his manners (uh huh)
Havana, ooh na-na (uh)

He didn't walk up with that "how you doin'?" (uh)
When he came in the room
He said there's a lot of girls I can do with (uh)
But I can't without you

I knew him forever in a minute (hey)
That summer night in June
And papa says he got malo in him (uh)
He got me feelin' like...

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ayy)
I knew it when I met him (ayy), I loved him when I left him
Got me feelin' like, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And then I had to tell him, I had to go
Oh na-na-na-na-na (woo)

Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na (uh huh)
All of my heart is in Havana (ayy)
My heart is in Havana (ayy)
Havana, ooh na-na

Jeffery, just graduated, fresh on campus, mmm
Fresh out East Atlanta with no manners, damn (fresh out East Atlanta)
Bump on her bumper like a traffic jam
Hey, I was quick to pay that girl like Uncle Sam (here you go, ayy)
Back it on me
Shawty cravin' on me, get to eatin' on me (on me)

She waited on me (then what?)
Shawty cakin' on me, got the bacon on me (wait up)
This is history in the makin', on me (on me)
Point blank, close range, that B
If it cost a million, that's me (that's me)
I was gettin' mula, baby

Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (oh, ayy, ayy)
He took me back (uh huh) to East Atlanta, na-na-na (oh, no)
All of my heart is in Havana (ayy)
My heart is in Havana (ayy)
Havana, ooh na-na

Ooh na-na, oh, na-na-na (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Take me back, back, back like...
Ooh na-na, oh, na-na-na (yeah, babe)
Take me back, back, back like...
Ooh na-na, oh, na-na-na (yeah, yeah)

Take me back, back, back like...
Ooh na-na, oh, na-na-na (yeah, babe)
Take me back, back, back
Hey, hey...

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (hey)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (hey)
Take me back to my Havana

Havana, ooh na-na (hey)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (oh, yeah)
He took me back to East Atlanta, (ayy, ayy) na-na-na
All of my heart is in Havana
My heart is in Havana (ayy)
Havana, ooh na-na

Uh huh
Oh, na-na-na (oh, na, yeah)
Oh, na-na-na
Oh, na-na-na (no, no, no, take me back)
Oh, na-na-na
Havana, ooh na-na

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. CAMILA IS SPOTIFY'S HOTTEST NEW TALENT.

The 'Know No Better' star beat out stiff competition from the likes of Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Lil Pump and Trippie Reed to earn the coveted title. Since its release in August, 'Havana' has amassed over an incredible 402 million streams on Spotify.

We are so proud of the 'OMG' star and all that she has achieved in 2017.

Elsewhere, Ed Sheeran is the most streamed male globally of the year on Spotify, followed by Drake, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar and the Chainsmokers. Considering that ÷ is one of the biggest albums of the year, we are not at all surprised.

Meanwhile, Rihanna is the most streamed female internationally in 2017 on Spotify, with Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and Sia just behind her. This is no doubt due to her huge collaborations with DJ Khaled and Kendrick Lamar.

What an incredible group of talented multi-platinum artists.
