Pandora’s music predictions for next year are in! On Dec. 12, the music streaming service announced its Latin Artists to Watch list featuring Chilean artist FloyyMenor, Mexican star Tito Double P, Puerto Rican singer Omar Courtz, and more, exclusively via Remezcla.
“Being recognized by Pandora as one of their Artists to Watch 2025 is incredible! I am more than grateful to everyone who supported me this year,” FloyyMenor shared with Remezcla in an exclusive quote via email. “Thank you so much to all my fans for helping me bring Chilean music to the world. 2025 is ours! ¥ATU$4EQUI€NE$OMO.”
The Chilean reggaetonero’s rising fame is undeniable after his global hit “Gata Only” featuring Cris MJ. “Gata Only” kept him No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart for 14 consecutive weeks — an achievement that hadn’t been done by a Chilean star since 1999. He also became the first chileno artist to win a Billboard Latin Music Award.
Another artist on next year’s list includes diverse artist Courtz, whose popular tracks include “¿Q U E V A S A H A C E R H O Y?” with De La Rose. The hit is part of his debut album PRIMERA MUSA, released on Sept. 20. Colombian pop singer Ela Taubert is also part of the mix, fresh off winning Best New Artist at last month’s Latin Grammys. Peso Pluma’s cousin Tito Double P is also on the list, on the heels of releasing his debut album INCÓMODO earlier this year.
More artists on the list include Rancho Humilde’s música mexicana rising star Adrian L Santos, McAllen-originated norteño band Hermanos Espinoza, and Jenni Rivera’s daughter Jacqie Rivera, who’s currently experimenting with ‘90s psychedelic pop and Regional Mexican elements. Colombian artist KAPO, known for hits like “OHNANA” and “UWAIE,” is also on the list to watch. Other featured artists on Pandora’s list include música mexicana emerging artists La Receta and Neton Vega, who both made waves in their respective subgenres this year.
“For nearly a decade, Pandora has predicted the incoming stars of Latin music, and this year is no different. As we close out 2024, our Latin programmers have identified the ten acts that we expect to have major impact in 2025,” Marcos Juarez, Director of Latin Music Programming at Pandora, said in a press statement. “Pandora continues to redefine the way new music is discovered and amplified, and we look forward to introducing Latin fans to this varied group of exciting artists.”
Will these artists have a big year in 2025? We’ll keep an eye on each of them to see!
