Don Omar’s “Yo Te Quiero Pa’Mi” Reaches No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay Chart

Don Omar is back at the top of the charts…

The 38-year-old Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar has earned his eighth No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart (dated December 24) as “Yo Te Quiero Pa’Mi,” with Zion & Lennox, bounds 11-1 in its fourth charting frame – his quickest chart-topping rise yet.

The single concurrently flies 7-1 on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart, where it becomes Don Omar’s 12th leader.

A 40 percent increase in audience, to 13.6 million impressions in the week ending December 11, causes the No. 1 climbs.

New York’s WSKQ leads in audience impressions contributing towards its rank, with 3.8 million coming from the major-market station. Two San Juan, Puerto Rico stations (WODA and WKAQ) also provide significant points, with over 1 million weekly audience impressions, each.

The newly recorded single appears on Omar’s recent 10th anniversary re-release of his King of Kings album — his most successful album to date. In 2006, the original set spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart and has sold 556,000 copies, according to Nielsen Music.

King of Kings spurred Omar’s first No. 1 hit on Latin Airplay, when “Angelito” reached the top on the July 22, 2006 chart. The set’s “Salio El Sol” also became a top 20 hit that year.
