Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister sang it, Ana Castela shared it — Ruan Victor’s “Peraí” has already topped 1 million Spotify streams.
A viral hit crossing borders
Brazilian sertanejo kicked off 2026 with one of its biggest viral moments. “Peraí”, a collaboration between Ruan Victor and Augusto Dávila, has claimed the #1 spot on Spotify’s Viral Brazil chart and reached #2 on the Viral Global ranking — placing this track from Rio Grande do Sul among the most talked-about releases of the year.
The momentum doesn’t stop at Brazil’s borders. The song entered the Top #5 in Portugal and Top #8 in Paraguay on Spotify’s viral charts, signaling that Ruan Victor’s international reach is only beginning to take shape.
Streaming numbers tell the story
Since its release, “Peraí” has surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify and exceeded 2 million views on YouTube. The organic engagement from fans confirms the track’s rapid spread across social media and short-video platforms.
On radio, the growth is equally strong. According to ConnectMix, a Brazilian media monitoring company, the song reached the Top 3 most-played tracks in Rio Grande do Sul — the artist’s home state.
A-list artists rallying behind the track
The song’s organic movement gained even more traction thanks to spontaneous support from major artists. Ana Castela, Luan Pereira, Guilherme & Benuto, Hugo & Guilherme, João Neto & Frederico, and MC Daniel all shared the track on their social media channels, amplifying its reach without any formal promotion.
The chorus that became a catchphrase
Light-hearted and witty, “Peraí” captures universally relatable moments of adult life — particularly the classic standoff between couple plans and an irresistible invitation from friends. Its catchy hook quickly became a running joke and catchphrase across social media, fueling even more engagement.
Portugal and Paraguay take notice
In Portugal, the Top #5 Viral ranking was amplified when Katia Aveiro — sister of football icon Cristiano Ronaldo — was seen singing the track on social media, giving the song an unexpected cultural boost. In Paraguay, the Top #8 position marks a promising start to Ruan Victor’s presence in South American markets beyond Brazil.
“Peraí” captures the classic standoff between couple plans and an irresistible invitation from friends — a dilemma anyone in a relationship knows all too well.
