J Balvin against Christian Nodal: the great difference in musical achievements that both artists have achieved

J Balvin and Christian Nodal starred in one of the most cited fights of the month, in which they even went from the aesthetic, artistic and musical to personal hints, and even private in the case of mockery of the Mexican’s failed relationship with Belinda.

However, one of Christian Nodal’s arguments was “that I do have carnal talent and I can proudly sing my compositions wherever, however, with pride”.

Both careers are incomparable, first, because they are diametrically opposed genres and easily enjoyed equally between the same generations, but because J Balvin has been in the entertainment industry for at least 10 years.

Although the assertion cannot be confirmed either because talent, pride and success are subjective terms within the artistic and musical environment, if it could be measured in achievements, J Balvin would raise his shoulders.

The Colombian singer started in music in 2007, when his first single titled Ecstasyfollowed by a few other loose tracks like She captivated me, being one of the most important reggaeton phenomena of the moment, even leading him to sign with Emi Music.

Hello, how are you, No obligation, Leave the Discotheque, My lady from Colombina, I like you, In the darkamong others, were his first musical pieces released internationally, although there is still a pending album requested by his fans, but which he did not dare to release until 2012 under the title J Balvin Mix Tape.

It was until 2013 when he released the single Alone as a prelude to his first album entitled The familyto later brand new I told you, 6AM among other topics that took him to various parts of the world such as one of the biggest urban performers of the decade.

In 2015, already on the run, he released the album Energía, one of the most representative of recent years within the genre, where songs like oh come on either Ginza were hits that they sounded from Colombia to Montreal, from Argentina, to Italy.

This last topic even broke a record on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart as the single with the most weeks at number on the chart by an unaccompanied artist, 21 weeks in total above Juanes.

Vibes It ended up catapulting him throughout Latin America as the artist with whom everyone wanted to record a song. Since Cardi B, even Bad Bunny, and Michael Brun formed to release a song inside the album where X stood out with Nicky Jam.

This album even led him to perform at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in California, one of the largest in the United States, and then it was time to launch Oasishis next album in collaboration with Bad Bunny, another of the greatest in the history of the genre, but coming from Puerto Rico. Both were invited by Shakira and JLo to the Super Bowl Halftime.

J Balvin’s most recent work was Colorsan album completely within the aesthetic that they have called urban, and full of the characteristic sound of reggaeton, but with notable less popularity in the market than their previous works.

Unfortunately, his career fell apart due to various scandals, mainly when he released his album José in the COVID-19 pandemic, and released a song called “Perra” where he used a couple of women on leashes for his video clipwhich was even censored by YouTube, who lowered the content.

In addition to his musical career, he also stands out as an artist multi-awarded by the American Music Awards, Latin American Music Awards, MTV VIdeo Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, MTV MIllenial Music Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards, and, of course, by the Guinness Record. , Telehit, Nickelodeon, Los 40 Principales, Vevo Certificates for more than 100 million visits, the Grammy, the Latin Grammy, the Billboard, among many others.

Christian Nodal, for his part, started a fruitful career so far, around 2017, a decade after the Colombian. Her first singles were a hit of the caliber of Goodbye Love of Los Dareyes de la Sierra, to later release their first album within the norteño band I got carried away.

Since then, he showed that he had great skills as a composer by putting in several completely original songs, but it was in 2019 where he obtained greater creative freedom and with the album NowheHe managed to obtain great recognition from even international artists with whom he collaborated, such as Piso 21, Maluma or Sebastián Yatra.

Ay ay ay is his most recent completely original album so far, where I forgot, Toxic Love, My Chula, Tell me how you wantamong others, were positioned as the public’s favorites.

Nevertheless, a veto by Fonovisa in conjunction with Universal Music They led him to leave his label and try his luck with Sony Music Mexico, while he continued to release singles, and caused controversy due to his relationship with Belinda, which did not end well.

Although much less awarded, Christian Nodal has also won awards of the Latin American Music Awards, the Latin Grammy, as well as the Spotify Awards, and was nominated for a Grammy.
