Daddy Yankee isn’t about to stop breaking records any time soon. Just a week after El Cangri was declared the artist with the most No. 1 songs on United States radio in 2019, he’s accomplished something no other artist has: Daddy Yankee has sold out nine shows at Puerto Rico’s iconic “El Choli” José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum. This officially places him above 2018’s record holders, Wisin and Yandel, who held eight sold-out performances during their Como Antes tour.

Daddy Yankee’s upcoming December 27 and December 28 Con Calma shows at El Choli were only announced three days ago after a string of other sold out performances, the earliest which will take place on December 7. After the tickets went on sale Tuesday at noon, Daddy Yankee announced on Instagram that fewer than 1,500 tickets were left for both functions. Needless to say, fans swarmed for the opportunity — leaving the reggaetonero in record-breaking territory once again by day’s end.

“I’m grateful as always, and surprised,” he said in a video posted to Instagram by his label boss, Rafael Pina. We like to think that, while “surprised,” Daddy Yankee is rightfully getting used to this.
