Wisin & Yandel are on Cloud Nine…

The Puerto Rican reggaeton duo has broken their own record after selling out nine concerts at The Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, which will take place in December as part of their 2022 La Ultima Mision Tour.

Wisin & YandelAccording to figures provided to Billboard by event promoter Paco Lopez, the reggaeton duo sold out nine dates in 24 hours, resulting in 864,000 ticket sales and a $5 million gross. A tenth date was announced Saturday morning (March 19).

With this feat, the “Recordar” artists officially break the very record that they achieved in 2018 with eight sold-out Choliseo shows, part of their Como Antes Tour.

“We are more than grateful and excited with the reaction of our dear people in Puerto Rico, and we are more than ready to leave everything on stage,” the duo expressed in a statement. “We always carry the name of Puerto Rico high, and that will continue to be part of our history.”

The new additions come four days after both artists announced dates for their 2022 La Ultima Mision trek presented by Live Nation. The tour, kicking off September 30 at the FTX Arena in Miami, marks the duo’s last run together.

​​“Our career as a duo has been blessed and successful,” Wisin previously told Billboard. “We can’t predict the future but we’re very responsible for the brand and that’s what we want to do in this tour. We want our fans to remember the 2000s hits. More than a goodbye, it’s trajectory.”

In Puerto Rico, La Ultima Mision will kick off on December 1, followed by nine other shows until December 22.

It’s official… Following weeks of speculation, Wisin & Yandel has confirmed that they’ll share the mic with Jennifer Lopez on their upcoming album.

The Puerto Rican reggaeton duo joined voices with 42-year-old American Idol judge to record a song entitled “Follow The Leader,” according to Wisin & Yandel’s agent,  Paco Lopez.

In addition, Lopez will join Wisin & Yandel—Juan Luis Morera and Llandel Veguilla Malavé Salazar—in Acapulco next week to film the music video for the song.

The track includes South American rhythms, as well as the duo flipping the script. “Wisin sings in the style of Yandel and Yandel in that of Wisin,” says Lopez, referring to the more powerful tone of the former and the lighter vocal touch of the latter.

Wisin & Yandel’s earlier album – “Los vaqueros, el regreso” – included “underground” rhythms on the songs “Muevete,” “Callate” and “Perreame,” while on “Sigan bailando” they collaborated with rappers Tego Calderon and Franco El Gorila.

Wisin & Yandel have released eight albums since they burst onto the scene in 1998. The duo have collected several accolades, including a Grammy and two Latin Grammys.
