    The first single, “Lose You To Love Me,” Gomez’s first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, is currently No. 1 at Top 40 Radio. Her fastest-ever platinum seller with 807 cumulative global streams, “Lose You To Love Me” appeared on numerous critics’ “best songs of 2019” lists.
    Gomez was featured on “I Can’t Get Enough” with Benny Blanco, J Balvin and Tainy. In 2018, she collaborated with DJ Snake, Ozuna and Cardi B on the global hit “Taki Taki,” which became one of the fastest videos to reach over 100 million views. Her previous seventeen singles including “It Ain’t Me” with Kygo, “Bad Liar,” “Fetish,” “Wolves” x Marshmello and “Back to You” all have been certified by the RIAA. As a solo artist Gomez has accumulated over 20 billion global streams.

    At the end of 2017 Gomez was named Billboard Magazine’s “Women of the Year.” In 2015, Gomez released her critically acclaimed album “Revival.” The first three singles off the album “Good For You,” “Same Old Love” and “Hands to Myself” went to number one on the US Top 40 chart.
