2020

Brazil's 2020 was almost entirely sertanejo, reflecting pandemic-era listening habits. Henrique & Juliano's 'Liberdade Provisória' topped the year, followed by Gusttavo Lima and Marília Mendonça. The nation turned to familiar, emotional sertanejo comfort music during lockdowns, with only Dua Lipa and Pedro Sampaio's funk breaking the genre's near-total dominance.
