Queen ha superado a Maluma y Shakira en Spotify

El reggaeton podrá estar en la cima de popularidad, pero sin duda alguna el rock es y será el género musical más respetado de la historia, basta con una película basada en una banda legendaria para que esa agrupación llegue a la cima de temas más escuchadas.

Y es que Queen ha arrasado en Spotify, las descargas de las canciones de Freddie Mercury y compañía superan en número a las de los ídolos urbanos y del pop, entre ellos Maluma, Becky G, Shakira y Nicky Jam.

I don’t usually publish stuff like this. But this is a uniquely thrilling moment. Our Freddie film went straight to number 1 in the UK last week, and this weekend it played on 4,000 screens in the USA, becoming easily the top film there. Now we see this summary of the rest of the world. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is Number One in every territory it’s opened in so far. Incredible. The most interesting bits are the comments to the extreme right if you zoom in. A million thanks to all of you who have rushed out to see it and laughed and cried and whooped with joy with us, as you’ve told us. I’m bowled over by your comments - from “It’s the best film I’ve ever seen” to “I cried 50 times”... What we always wanted was for the film to touch people and inspire them. You’re telling us that is what it does. That’s good enough. Good night and sweet dreams all. Some dreams do come true. Here’s hoping yours do. But be careful what you wish for !!! Bri

Además, en los principales listados de popularidad del Reino Unido, las canciones que suenan en el largometraje se ubican en los primeros puestos, es el caso de "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Don't stop me now" o "Another one bites the dust", superando también a bandas como Red Hot Chili Peppers y Guns N' Roses.

¿Estaremos ante el próximo regreso del rock a la cima de popularidad? Solo el tiempo lo dirá. Mientras tanto Brian May, guitarrista de Queen, ha publicado un video en el que vemos como las nuevas generaciones no han podido escapar a este nuevo fenómeno.

If this doesn’t make you smile ... I don’t know what will ... ! Thanks to @nerdswithvaginas who put it up, but I have no idea who this delightful little girl is. Maybe she’s better off protecting her privacy. Brill ! Bri
