In Vevo’s Global Top Ten Music Videos chart, Karol G’s “PROVENZA” comes in first place with a massive 547 million views worldwide. “PROVENZA” was the star’s highly-anticipated solo single released in April after a seven-month break, and was a self-described “completely new audiovisual project” for her that explored a significantly more tropical sound.
