Bad Bunny, 23
J Balvin, 21

Posted on April 29, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Xavi is making ASCAP Latin history…

At 20 years old, the Mexican-American singer-songwriter has become the youngest artist to receive the ASCAP Latin Music Award for songwriter of the year.

The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) on Tuesday celebrated El Premio ASCAP 2025, its top ASCAP Latin songwriters awards for the most performed Latin music songs of the past year.

Xavi, known for his signature romantic tumbados and his unparalleled voice, has captivated a new generation of listeners with hits like “La Diabla” and “La Víctima.”

The former topped Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart for 14 weeks, while the latter reached No. 2.

By the end of 2024, Xavi also became the first solo artist to hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart with his first four songs in a single year, when “Flores” climbed from No. 3 to lead the ranking dated December 21.

Meanwhile, Colombian singer Feid won songwriter/artist of the year for the second consecutive year, while the hit “QLONA” by Karol G and Peso Pluma was named Latin song of the year.

Feid, whose Billboard Hot 100 hits include “Perro Negro” with Bad Bunny, “Revolu” with Rauw Alejandro, and “+57” with Karol G and other Colombian collaborators, boasts close to a dozen No. 1 hits on the Latin Airplay chart, including “Doblexxo” with J Balvin, “Si Sabe Ferxxo” with Blessd, and “Háblame Claro” with Yandel among his most recent.

“QLONA,” co-written by songwriter Dani Raw and published by Kobalt Music Publishing, won the ASCAP Award for Latin song of the year.

Featured on Karol G’s album Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), the track led Hot Latin Songs for five weeks and reached No. 28 on the all-genre Hot 100.

Among other winners, Universal Music Publishing Group was named publisher of the year for the third consecutive year, thanks to hits like “(Entre Paréntesis)” by Shakira and Grupo Frontera, “Adivino” by Bad Bunny and Myke Towers, “Alch Si” by Carín León and Grupo Frontera, “Gata Only” by Cris MJ and FloyyMenor, and “Igual Que Un Ángel” by Kali Uchis, to name a few.

Additionally, Daddy Yankee broke his own record by earning his 52nd Premio ASCAP as “Bonita” was recognized as one of the most-played songs of the past year.

El Premio ASCAP 2025 honored the songwriters and publishers of the most-performed songs of 2024 in Latin music. Winning songs were determined based on data for terrestrial and satellite radio, and for programmed and on-demand audio streams, all provided by Luminate Data LLC in accordance with ASCAP’s publicly available rules.

J Balvin Logs 37th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay Chart with Feid-Collaboration “Doblexxo”

Posted on March 10, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

J Balvin has extended his chart-topping record…

The 39-year-old Colombian superstar and Feid’s “Doblexxo” rises to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as the song climbs 6-1 for its first week atop the March 15-dated list.

The song lands at the summit in its 13th week.

“I feel super excited to know that our fans have embraced this song in such a way,” Balvin tells Billboard. “Feid’s talent is undeniable and our chemistry when it comes to making music has always been amazing. I can’t wait to sing ‘Doblexxo’ live during my upcoming Rayo tour.”

In the tracking week ending March 6, “Doblexxo” pulled 8.4 million audience impressions earned in the U.S., according to Luminate; that’s a 32% gain from the week prior when the song generated 6.1 million.

With “Doblexxo,” Balvin achieves his record-extending 37th No. 1s since the Latin Airplay chart began in 1994, opening a wider gap from his next competitor (Ozuna, 34 champs). Feid bags his ninth ruler. The latter last reached the top with “Si Sabe Ferxxo,” with Blessd, which spent a week at No. 1 in June 2024.

Except for 2024, Balvin has placed at least one champ every year during his decade-long No. 1 chart career, dating back to “6AM,” featuring Farruko (May 2014). He completed his most lucrative period in 2022, placing nine No. 1 hits between February and October then. The year before, Balvin reached his second-best run, with six No. 1s in 2019.

Good reception across Latin rhythmic stations also spurs its coronation on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart, where “Doblexxo” jumps 3-1.

There, Balvin also stands firmly ahead of the rest, with 37 No. 1s. (Daddy Yankee follows with 35.)

The song’s 13-week climb to No. 1 marks a longer stride to the top than Balvin and Feid’s past pair-up, “Porfa” — where Maluma, Nicky Jam, Sech and Justin Quiles are also part of the billing — as it ruled after eight weeks in August 2020.

“Doblexxo” is the fourth radio promoted single from Balvin’s sixth studio album Rayo, which debuted and peaked at No. 5 on Latin Rhythm Albums last August.

Maluma Releases New Single “Cosas Pendientes”

Posted on November 24, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

Maluma is back with new music…

The 30-year-old Colombian singer has released “Cosas Pendientes,” his first solo single since June.

It serves as the first taste of a new musical era for Maluma.

Written by Maluma, Edgar Barrera, Keityn and Casta, “Cosas Pendientes” was released alongside a sultry and action-packed music video produced by Royalty Films.

In a press release, the single is described as Maluma’s first release showcasing his “+Pretty +Dirty era,” a nod to the luxurious visual world he launched in 2015.

“This new era is focused on amplifying the signature charm and raw energy of his work, while exploring new sonic and thematic layers that show growth without losing the essence of what made the original 2015 Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy era so captivating.”

The release of “Cosas Pendientes” is also meant to be a heartfelt nod to his day-one fans.

On Thursday, Maluma celebrated the release of the new single by driving a double decker bus around his hometown of Medellín, Colombia. He played the new single on speakers until a crowd eventually formed to sing-along to the freshly-released song.

The single follows his part in Karol G’s “+57” single that also featured Colombian acts J Balvin, Blessd, Feid and Ryan Castro.

Outside of the studio, Maluma recently unveiled his new athletic-wear brand, Remanence, with a fashion show in Medellín. As the owner and creative director of the line, Maluma touted the importance of eco-friendly fashion responsible practices, with all of his clothing having been designed entirely in Colombia using renewable energy.

Feid Earns 11th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay Chart with “Sorry 4 That Much”

Posted on October 22, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

It’s Lucky No. 11 for Feid.

The 32-year-old Colombian singer, songwriter and record producer has earned his 11th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart, and sixth this year, as “Sorry 4 That Much” rises 2-1 to lead the October 26-dated tally.

“Sorry 4 That Much” leads thanks to a 6% gain in audience impressions, to 6.6 million, earned in the U.S. during the October 11-17 tracking week, according to Luminate.

As the song lands at the summit, it ejects J Balvin and Chencho Corleone’s “Polvo de Tu Vida” from the lead, after the latter falls with an 11% dip in audience, to 5.8 million.

Of the 16 No. 1s on Latin Rhythm Airplay in 2024, only five were by a soloist, unaccompanied by any other collaborator — including “Sorry 4 That Much.”

Here’s a review of that elite group:

Artist, Title, Peak Date, Weeks at No. 1
Bad Bunny, “Monaco,” Jan. 27, one
Myke Towers, “La Falda,” Feb. 24, one
Ozuna, “Baccarat,” March 30, one
Venesti, “Es Normal,” July 27, two
Feid, “Sorry 4 That Much,” Oct. 26

“Sorry 4 That Much” takes Feid to his sixth straight No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay, and all have come in 2024 — the most No. 1s of any act this year.

Elsewhere, Feid nearly misses the No. 1 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, where “Sorry 4 That Much” jumps 3-2, just behind Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” for the latter’s 14th week in the lead.

Feid’s new achievement lands on the heels of the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2024, where the Colombian became a finalist in 11 categories, including Global 200 Latin Artist of the Year.

J Balvin to Release New Album, “Rayo,” This August

Posted on July 11, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

J Balvin will be catching some rayos this summer…

The 39-year-old Colombian rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer has announced plans to release his upcoming new album, titled Rayo, on August 9.

Balvin’s 15-track LP includes collaborations with Feid, Chencho Corleone, Bad Gyal and Carín León, among others.

The set will follow the hitmaker’s Grammy-nominated Jose released three years ago, which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart for three weeks.

Overall, Balvin has placed four No. 1 sets on the tally since 2016, including Energía, Vibras and Oasis, his 2019 joint album with Bad Bunny.

As with all his previous albums, this one also started with a name before even recording any of the songs included. “My albums have always started with their names,” he previously told Billboard. “That way, we let ourselves be guided by the vibe.” The singer-songwriter also shared that London was a major source of inspiration for the set, specifically its nightclub scene, where he and his team would play demos sometimes. “We wanted to see fan reaction, and it was amazing,” he teased.

According to a press release, Rayo is an expression of “earnest need for human connection that drove Balvin to create an album that feels more like a house party than a collection of songs.”

On this new album, he blends elements of reggeatón with electronic pop and dembow, the statement further adds.

In April, Balvin performed a riveting sci-fi-inspired headlining set at Coachella, where he sang his biggest anthems to date, including hits recent hits such as the Tainy-produced “Colmillo” and “Dientes.”

Some of his surprise guests included Jowell & Randy, De La Ghetto and Will Smith.

For Feid, “Si Sabe Ferxxo” becomes the hitmaker’s eighth No. 1 on the overall radio ranking, which began with “Porfa,” featuring J Balvin, Maluma, Nicky Jam, Sech and Justin Quiles, climbing to No. 1 in August 2020.

Here’s his collection of champs:

Peak, Title, Artist, Weeks at No. 1

Elsewhere, thanks to its radio haul, “Si Sabe Ferxxo” rises 36-31 with the Greatest Gainer/Airplay honors of the week on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, which combines airplay, digital sales and streaming data.
