Auli'i Cravalho is an American actress and singer who, as a teenager, voiced the title character in Disney's 2016 hit Moana, and her recorded fame rests almost entirely on that role. Her signature is "How Far I'll Go", the film's soaring, Lin-Manuel Miranda-penned anthem of yearning and self-discovery, which she performed in the movie.
Carried by the enormous and lasting popularity of Moana, the song became a streaming giant, the kind of empowering ballad that children and families return to endlessly. Cravalho is an actress rather than a recording artist, so her streaming presence is essentially that one blockbuster soundtrack moment.
On streaming, "How Far I'll Go" sits near 806 million plays, while her next genuinely different track trails behind. That puts the ratio at about 5.4, over our 5.0 line.
By our measure Auli'i Cravalho is a certified one-hit wonder, with the obvious caveat that she is a film actress whose recorded output is a by-product of a single Disney role. One rousing, much-loved soundtrack anthem has, on streams, come to represent the whole of her music, which says far more about Moana's reach than about any pop ambitions.
