Karol G’s ‘Provenza’ Surpasses 1 Billion Views on YouTube
Karol G has achieved yet another career milestone with the “Provenza” music video surpassing one billion views on YouTube, just two years after it was released.
The beachy music video filmed by Pedro Artola on the island of Lanzarote marks the Colombian artist’s ninth clip to enter the coveted “Billion Views Club” as a lead, featured artist or collaborator. She also ranks No. 17 on the Global Top Artists chart. On the Billboard charts, “Provenza” hit No. 1 on both the Hot Latin Songs and Latin Airplay charts in 2022.
“Provenza” follows her other one-billion titles: “China” with Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Ozuna & J Balvin; the Nicki Minaj-assisted “Tusa”; “Secreto” in collaboration with Anuel AA, as well as “Culpables”; “Bichota”; “TQG” with Shakira; “El Makinon” in collab with Mariah Angeliq; and the Bad Bunny-assisted “Ahora Me Llama.”
Climbing up the list with more than 750 million views each are “Mi Cama,” “A Ella,” and the heartfelt “Creéme” with Maluma.
The news comes on the heels of Billboard’s 2024 Woman of the Year and Latin Woman of the Year unleashing her summer-friendly tropical tune “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” (which translates to “if I would’ve met you before.”)
The feel-good track, produced by Edgar Barrera, Sky Rompiendo, and Karol, is a flirty merengue inspired by her love and admiration for the Dominican Republic. “”ts culture, its music, its colors, the hospitality, the energy … everything feels very authentic and special there,” she expressed of the Caribbean Island in an Instagram post. “Its people have embraced me in a way that fills my heart and inspires me all the time.”
