Maluma Earns His First Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs Chart

Maluma has registered his first Top 10 single on one of Billboard’s most important Latin charts…

The 21-year-old Colombian urban artist’s latest single “Borro Cassette” rises from 11-8 in its tenth charting week to earn him his first Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart.

Maluma

Maluma takes Airplay Gainer honors with a 30 percent climb in audience, logging 9.8 million impressions during the tracking week ending Sept. 27, according to Nielsen Music. The on-air bump drives the track 8-4 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart, reaching a new peak.

Digital sales also helped in the Hot Latin Songs spike, increasing four percent to 1,000 downloads.

The singer will perform at the inaugural Latin American Music Awards (Latin AMAs) on October 8, which will be broadcast live on Telemundo from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

“Borro Cassette” is the first single from Maluma’s upcoming album, Pretty Boy Dirty Boy, due October 30.

Cruz to Receive Musical Tribute at This Year’s Latin American Music Awards

Celia Cruz may be gone, but she’ll be remembered in a big way at the inaugural Latin American Music Awards.

The late Cuban-American salsa singer/performer and seven-time Grammy winner, who passed away in 2003 at the age of 77, will receive a musical tribute produced by Sergio George at the Latin AMAs.

Celia Cruz

George, a tropical music legend, has rounded up a diverse group of performers to honor the late Queen of Salsa’s legacy during the October 8 telecast on Telemundo, airing live from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Colombian sensation Maluma, princess of salsa India, Mexican icon Yuri and singer/actress Aymée Nuviola — who portrays Cruz in the new Telemundo series Celia — will sing a medley of her most beloved hits.

Presenting the tribute are Puerto Rican actors Jeimy Osorio and Modesto Lacén, who play Cruz and her husband/manager Pedro Knight during their younger years on Celia (Nuviola and renowned theater actor Willie Denton play the couple later in life).

Slated for an October 13 premiere, Celia chronicles Úrsula Hilaria Celia de la Caridad Cruz Alfonso‘s evolution from a shy teen in pre-revolution Havana, Cuba, to a larger-than-life figure that brought the world to its feet with the power of her voice, inimitable style and exuberant presence. Along the way, Cruz battled racism, sexism and defied expectations of what a black female musician could achieve in the ’50s.

Nicky Jam is nominated in key categories like artist of the year, song of the year and favorite streaming song on the strength of his hit “El Perdón,” featuring Enrique Iglesias.
