Resumen
Descripción
Reggaeton, originally a niche genre emerging from reggae dancehall and popular among Puerto Rican youth in the 1990s, has evolved into the most widely distributed and consumed Latin music genre globally. This transformation parallels similar historical shifts in popular music, where niche styles transition to mainstream acceptance, often accompanied by aesthetic changes to reach broader audiences. This study examines reggaeton’s presence on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart (2006–2023), analyzing 517 reggaeton tracks out of 1,442 using Tunebat’s audio spectrum. The findings reveal sound characteristics linked to the genre’s rise in popularity. © (2024), (Caspur -Ciber Publishing). All rights reserved.
