We Don’t Talk About Bruno, a song on the soundtrack for Encanto, which opened in theaters on November 26, 2021, is unusual in that it climbed the charts more in 2022, crossing over into the new year, and by February of that year became a hit that reached No.

charts.
In the U.S., it also became the first Disney song ever to top Spotify, and it hit No.
1 on the UK charts as well—an extraordinary chart performance that can fairly be called a milestone in Disney history.
In the film, it’s sung by the family of the main characters all together, but unlike the kind of ballads or pop songs that seem destined to be hits, it features lyrics that aren’t exactly upbeat and a musical style rooted in Latin genres such as salsa, making it a fresh type of Disney song—something truly fascinating.
Often cited as Disney’s first viral hit, We Don’t Talk About Bruno is well worth checking out even if you haven’t seen the movie.
