Manuel Turizo has unquestionably been one of the standout figures at the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards. The Colombian superstar set the stage on fire with his incredible EDM version performance of «El Merengue» alongside producer Marshmello and took home three coveted awards for his tremendous success with «La Bachata,» including the Global 200 Latin Song of the Year, the Latin Airplay Song of the Year, and the Tropical Song of the Year.

And it’s no wonder! «La Bachata» is already a classic in today’s music. After a year of playing on radios, in clubs, and on playlists (the song was released on May 22, 2022), we can confirm that it is now part of the history of Spanish-language music. Notably, the song became number 1 on LOS40 for the first time in October 2022. The impact of «La Bachata» has been so strong that it has surpassed some of his other hits like «Una Lady Como Tú.»

But how much money has Manuel Turizo made with Bachata?

The Millionaire Earnings of «La Bachata»

A year ago, in November 2022, Manuel Turizo appeared on 40 Grados K to talk with Karin Herrero about his music. There, the host of LOS40 asked him all kinds of questions about that success. At that time, the song had «only» accumulated 368 million streaming plays.

At that moment, as Karin calculated, Turizo had earned 1.1 million dollars. An absolute fortune! But it didn’t stop there. Not by a long shot. Now, almost a year later, Manuel Turizo’s Bachata has gained an additional 1 billion streams.

Let’s do the math! As easy as a proportion. And what does that result in? Nothing more and nothing less than more than 4.1 million dollars. An absolute fortune!

Undoubtedly, Manuel Turizo should be happy with the success his music is having around the world. The artist can boast of being one of the most sought-after at the moment.

A 2023 Filled with Successes

But in the shadow of the success of «La Bachata,» Manuel Turizo has to add some of the hits he released this year. The artist has released the aforementioned «El Merengue,» a song that has quickly become one of the most listened to summer hits and has managed to reach the top of our charts.

The Colombian has even launched «Copa Vacía» with Shakira and «Vagabundo» with Sebastián Yatra. Two songs that have also been played a lot in recent months. Undoubtedly, the artist is in one of the best moments of his career. And he’s only 23 years old.
