Renowned Mexican streamer and gamer Arigameplays made her debut as a singer under the name ARIA BELA this past Tuesday, April 22, with the release of her first single titled “Pilates.” Within hours, the song became a trending topic on several major video platforms, marking a powerful beginning to her new artistic journey.

ARIA BELA became the #1 trend on the social network X, reached #17 globally, and secured the #1 spot on YouTube Mexico. The audience’s response has been overwhelming: just a week after its release, the “Pilates” video has garnered over 3 million views on YouTube and more than 7 million streams on YouTube Music. On Spotify, the track surpassed half a million listeners and over 2 million streams.

The singer-songwriter from Monterrey captured the attention of U.S. specialized media outlets, including the acclaimed magazine Rolling Stone, which described her as “the best of both worlds,” referencing her influence in both the gaming world and her first steps into music. Forbes highlighted her trajectory, stating: “In the male-dominated competitive world of gaming, Mexican streamer AriGameplays has spent the past decade building a successful career and a recognizable public image.” Los Ángeles Times en Español celebrated the single debut, writing, “Keep an eye on her,” while Houston Chronicle added: “A touch of sparkle and Bratz style, with a bit of Doja Cat and Tinashe—and poof, that’s how Aria Bela was born.”

This launch not only establishes ARIA BELA as an emerging star in Spanish-language music but also positions her debut as one of the most successful of the year. Her second single, “Online,” will be released on May 15.
