24 tracks, KISS, Bon Jovi, Akon and a double dose of Enrique Iglesias: Pitbull drops 'Pitcoin,' his first album in three years
The record hit streaming services Friday (Oct. 9) with more than 20 guests, from Lil Jon to Ne-Yo, and is the week's biggest album release by Spotify listeners.

Despite a name that sounds like a cryptocurrency, 'Pitcoin' is a 24-track record, the Miami rapper's first since 'Trackhouse' in October 2023. With about 78.8 million monthly Spotify listeners, he is by far the most-streamed artist among the week's album releases.
The guest list looks like a Miami party. KISS opens the album on 'Reach for the Stars,' Enrique Iglesias shows up twice ('Me Paraste el Corazón' and 'Tamo Bien'), and Lil Jon, his partner on 'Damn I Love Miami' and 'Satalanaaa,' appears three times. Akon, Jason Derulo, Wiz Khalifa, Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Gente de Zona, Zion, Jowell & Randy and Anthony Ramos round out the roster.
The most curious credit belongs to Bon Jovi, listed on 'Now or Never' — likely via a sample, according to Consequence. The album also includes 'MIA Anthem,' with DJ Laz, and closes with '2 the Moon,' alongside Ne-Yo, Afrojack and DJ Buddha.
