Bad Bunny closed out his historic 31-night residency at San Juan’s El Choli on Sunday with a massive finale show that the whole world could watch online. The Puerto Rican superstar brought out Marc Anthony for an emotional duet, partied with Jowell & Randy, and paid tribute to the island’s rich history during a nearly four-hour show.
On Monday, Amazon Music revealed that the livestream for the concert — titled “Una Más,” which aired on the music streaming service, Prime Video, and Twitch — shattered viewership records for a single-artist performance.
While exact numbers have not yet been released, the show was the most-watched single artist performance on Amazon Music to date, according to the platform.
“I have always had the same passion, love for what I’m doing. I promise I will never change. I love you, Puerto Rico. I love you, mom and dad,” Bad Bunny said onstage during an emotional speech at the end of the show. “It doesn’t matter what your issue or problem is, love will always be the solution.”
The livestream was just the start of Bad Bunny’s multi-year partnership with Amazon, which will work with his Good Bunny Foundation to help the island develop in several sectors, including education, technology, agricultural support, and economic development.
“By combining music, Amazon technologies, commerce, and community programs at scale, we’re engaging global audiences to this historic moment while strengthening Puerto Rican communities,” Rocío Guerrero, an Amazon Music executive, said. Fans can continue watching for 24 hours following the show’s conclusion as well.
Like most of the shows during the residency run, Bad Bunny packed the show with guests: He brought out Ñengo Flow and Jowell y Randy for “Safaera,” and both Dei V and RaiNao for a pair of duets. Arcángel and De La Ghetto jumped in at the end of the set to exchange rap verses for “Acho PR” from Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.
To conclude the performance, Bad Bunny played a song that serves as a sort of national anthem for La Isla del Encanto: He brought out icon Marc Anthony for a heartfelt duet of “Preciosa” as the Puerto Rican flag displayed on the ceiling of El Choli. The song, originally written by composer Rafael Hernández Marín in 1937, is a love letter to Puerto Rico.
