Camila Cabello Is Crowned Spotify's Top Breakout Star
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.
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.
We couldn't be any happier for Camila, Ed and Rihanna.
