ess than two years after releasing her third studio album, Anitta, the 24-year-old Brazilian star, released “Paradinha” which quickly climbed the charts. It debuted at no. 2 on Brazil Billboard’s Hot Pop & Popular chart and took the top spot in its second week, overtaking the worldwide hit “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber. Anitta’s part-Spanish, part-Portuguese track also reached no. 12 on Billboard Twitter Top Tracks chart.
“Paradinha” also charted in Mexico, Portugal, and Uruguay.
Beyond the charts, “Paradinha” dominated the Internet. At the time, the song’s official video broke the Brazilian record for most views in the first 24 hours when it accrued over seven million over that first day on YouTube.
In just two months, the video has nearly 150 million views on YouTube and it continues to rise the all-time list of most-viewed Brazilian music videos.
