France Moore who is the chief executive of IFPI (as Forbes explains, “The IFPI is an organization that represents the recorded music industry around the world”) said in a press release, “Havana truly was the stand-out hit of the year. Momentum behind the track continued to build and build at an extraordinary rate as it consistently topped charts and leading playlists.  Camila Cabello is a perfect example of an artist who has drawn on her musical roots to produce her own unique sound that is capturing the hearts of fans all over the world.”
