Ranking: 12 Brazilian artists in the DJ/music producer category are among the most played globally on Spotify’s Top 3000 (overall).
In a global music scenario, Brazil continues to conquer the top with its rich sound. Among the top 3000 most-played artists on Spotify in absolute streams, we find an exclusive list of Brazilian talents that not only dominate the dancefloors but also shape the musical landscape. This list, predominantly dominated by the pop scene with artists like Calvin Harris, Rihanna, Drake, Justin Bieber, among others, highlights Brazilian DJs who stand out as prodigies in music production. From this musical elite, established names such as Alok, Vintage Culture, DENNIS, among others, are included, captivating the audience not only with their mixing skills but also enchanting millions with their original creations.
Let’s explore the ranking? Check out the overall scenario.
Together, the top 12 Brazilian artists (DJ/music producer) on Spotify worldwide accumulate 21.996.5 billion unique streams. Electronic music and Brazilian funk continue to dominate the Brazilian scene, but trap/Brazilian funk also appears on the list. While we acknowledge the strong presence of sertanejo, pop, and Brazilian funk in current Brazilian music, it’s particularly interesting to witness the power of electronic music in the country.
Without delving into the debate of whether Brazilian funk is considered electronic music or not, we choose not to focus on this specific genre for this analysis, okay? We recognize the richness of musical production in releases like Brazilian funk and trap, for instance, but here we’ll give special attention to our DJs who are dedicated to electronic music because that’s precisely what Eletro Vibez focuses on daily.

Based on the above data, we can conclude that consistency is a common denominator among the standout artists who have secured their spots in the Top 3000. When we refer to released phonograms, we include all musical releases from the featured artists, encompassing original tracks, remixes, acoustics, and so on. In other words, the more you appear — with quality, obviously — the more space you will conquer. The final math is directly linked to the outcome. Of course, we are being generic in this analysis and overlooking a series of factors such as record labels, managers, collaborators, among others, which clearly contribute to their merits.
The strong presence of Brazilian and Latin music in the Top 3000 ranking reflects the global influence of these musical styles. Genres like funk, sertanejo, and Latin music have gained admirers worldwide, showcasing the cultural diversity of these artistic expressions. In the face of this panorama, the increasing acceptance of Brazilian funk and Latin music remixes in the electronic music scene becomes understandable. These trends, notably highlighted between 2022 and 2023, lead us to question: will this influence persist and strengthen? Are we facing a lasting transformation, continually shaping the global dance music scene? The answer, perhaps, lies in the hands of the audience who, through their preferences, steer the course.
