根据Spotify的数据，英语歌曲在音乐流媒体平台上的主导地位正在下降，西班牙语、韩语和阿拉伯语歌曲的需求大幅增长。过去五年，非英语歌曲在排行榜上的数量增加了一倍多，Bad Bunny等艺术家和巴西放克、K-pop等音乐类型的流行推动了这一趋势。
Since the start of rock 'n' roll, American and British songs have dominated music. Both countries benefited a lot from hit songs in English. However, the dominance of English-language songs is under threat. The music streaming giant Spotify said English songs were losing their stranglehold. There is now a huge demand for songs sung in Spanish, Korean, and Arabic. The number of non-English songs in the charts more than doubled in the past five years. A prime example of the rise in non-English songs is the popularity of Bad Bunny. He sings only in Spanish. He was Spotify's most streamed artist in 2025. In addition, Spanish singer Rosalia made an award-winning album on which she sings in 13 different languages. Three music genres have seen their chart presence rise by 30 per cent or more in the past five years. These are Brazilian Funk, K-pop, and Trap Latino.
