The 30-year-old Colombian singer and songwriter has joined voices with Sean Paul to release the new single “Niña Bonita.”
Produced by Sky Rompiendo, the single begins with the sound of a cassette player and dreamy guitar riffs, as Feid single, “Someone like me was not going to fall in love” — setting the tone for ultra-sweet bop.
Lacing Feid’s signature romantic reggaetón sound and Sean Paul’s sensual dancehall beats, “Niña Bonita” is an honest letter to that special someone.
“Baby girl, if I love you and you love me/for you I’d give my life/Take my hand, only for one night, don’t feel alone anymore,” chants the Jamaican rapper in Spanish. “I want to make memories with you,” he later sings in English.
Meanwhile, Feid’s dulcet vocals sing about admiring the special girl’s body and wanting to spend time with her.
The 46-year-old Puerto Rican singer and songwriter has notched his 15th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “Yandel 150,” his collaboration with Feid, rises to the top spot on the chart dated April 15.
In addition, the song also rises from 2-1 on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart.
Yandel returns to the summit following the one-week lead of “Déjà Vu,” with Tainy, in 2021. His longest-leading champ was “Encantadora,” which held atop the chart for three weeks.
Feid, meanwhile, claims his third No. 1 just a month after his featured turn in Ozuna’s “Hey Mor” ruled the March 4-dated list.
The collaboration ousts another pairing, Myke Towers and Daddy Yankee, after one week in charge for “Ulala.”
“Yandel 150” is the fourth single from Yandel’s Resistencia, his seventh studio album as a soloist, released Jan. 13 via Sony Music Latin. The 17-track set, jam-packed with reggaetón vets and newcomers alike, including his longtime collaborator Wisin, earned the Puerto Rican an eighth straight top 10 on Latin Rhythm Albums (March 23-dated list).
Further, “Yandel 150” leads in its ninth week on Latin Airplay, tying with “Hey Mor” as the third song to rise to the summit in nine weeks or fewer among Yandel’s 15 champs. Only two other tracks climbed faster: “Como Antes,” featuring Wisin, led in its second week, while “Se Acabó El Amor,” with Abraham Mateo and Jennifer Lopez, conquered in its sixth week.
Elsewhere, Yandel also takes his 15th No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay, while Feid picks up his fourth champ.
The 30-year-old Colombian singer and songwriter’s “Remix Exclusivo” debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Trending Songs chart dated April 1.
Billboard’s Hot Trending charts, powered by Twitter, track global music-related trends and conversations in real-time across Twitter, viewable over either the last 24 hours or past seven days.
A weekly, 20-position version of the chart, covering activity from Friday through Thursday of each week, posts alongside Billboard’s other weekly charts on Billboard.com each Tuesday, with the latest tracking period running March 17-23.
“Remix Exclusivo” bows as Feid’s first No. 1 on Hot Trending Songs. Previously, he reached No. 14 with “Si Te La Encuentras Por Ahi” in March.
“Remix Exclusivo” premiered March 16 as Feid’s first release of 2023, following 2022 album Feliz Cumpleanos Ferxxo Te Pirateamos El Album and EP Sixdo.
Concurrently, the song earned 2.8 million official U.S. streams March 17-23 en route to a No. 38 debut on the Hot Latin Songs chart. Internationally, it starts at Nos. 78 and 102 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and Billboard Global 200 lists, respectively.
“Remix Exclusivo” reigns over Salman Khan’s new release, “Jee Rahe the Hum (Falling in Love),” from the upcoming Hindi-language film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, at No. 2. Khan is also a star of the film, set for release April 21.
The 30-year-old Puerto Rican singer, songwriter and rapper has captured his 32nd No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “Hey Mor,” with Feid, advances from No. 3 to lead the March 4-dated ranking.
With the new leader, Ozuna ties with Enrique Iglesias for the second-most No. 1s on the list. Feid, meanwhile, scores his second.
“Hey Mor” takes over Latin Airplay in its ninth week, supported by a 12% increase in audience impressions, to 11.5 million, earned in the U.S. during the Feb 17-23 tracking week, according to Luminate.
“Hey Mor” is the second song from Ozuna’s fifth studio album, OzuTochi, to hit No. 1 on the all-genre Latin Airplay chart.
It follows “Somos Iguales,” with Tokischa, featuring Louchie Lou & Michi One, which topped the tally for one week last October.
With the new No. 1, Ozuna moves ahead and enters a tie with Enrique Iglesias for the second-most No. 1s on Latin Airplay since its inception in 1994. They only trail J Balvin, who continues to dominate with 35 No. 1s: Here’s an update of the scoreboard:
Feid, meanwhile, picks up his second No. 1 after a year and a half. He secured his first victory with “Porfa,” with the all-star team comprising J Balvin, Maluma, Nicky Jam, Sech and Justin Quiles. The song earned the Colombian his first No. 1 on any Billboard chart as it ascended to a dual domination on Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay for one week in August 2020.
Further, Feid crosses off a new career achievement as “Hey Mor” rises 12-10 on Hot Latin Songs, which blends airplay, streams, and digital sales. It becomes his first top 10 on the multi-metric tally. Ozuna collects his 29th top 10.
The 30-year-old Puerto Rican singer, songwriter and rapper has notched his 29th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart as “Hey Mor,” featuring Feid, leads the February 18-dated ranking.
The song trades places with Bad Bunny and Rauw Alejandro’s “Party,” which slides 1-2 after two weeks at the top of the chart.
“Hey Mor” was released on October 8 via Aura/Sony Music Latin. It ascends 2-1 in its 10th week with 9.3 million in audience impressions, up 7%, earned in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 9, according to Luminate.
The song is the sixth single from Ozuna’s fifth studio album OzuTochi which debuted at No. 5 on Top Latin Albums and at No. 4 on Latin Rhythm Albums last October.
“Hey Mor” gives the Latin rhythmic hitmaker his 29th champ on Latin Rhythm Airplay, and steps closer to the lead extending his second-best count of No. 1s among all acts on the 17-year-old chart. Daddy Yankee and J Balvin continue to have the most champs, both with 34 No. 1s.
Feid, meanwhile, captures his third No. 1 among seven career appearances. The Colombian’s first offering arrived with “Porfa,” with an all-star team comprising J Balvin, Maluma, Nicky Jam, Sech and Justin Quiles in August 2020.
Plus, he locked in his first and only champ as a soloist, unaccompanied by any other act, on Latin Rhythm Airplay with “Normal” in January.
Elsewhere, “Hey Mor” doubles its previous peak on the all-genre Latin Airplay chart, rallying 8-4 in its seventh week. Plus, Feid scores a career best on the overall Billboard Hot 100 ranking, as the song climbs 96-88.
Eladio Carrión is headed to the capital city of Texas…
The 28-yeaer-old Puerto Rican Latin trap and reggaeton rapper/singer is among the artists set to perform at part of Billboard’s SXSW star-studded concerts.
Carrion will participate in Billboard’s series of star-studded concerts, Billboard Presents The Stage at SXSW.
Carrion will perform on the second night, March 17, alongside fellow Latin star Feid.
Meanwhile, rapper-singer Lil Yachty will perform on March 16, with opening acts Lola Brooke and Armani White, while electronic giants Kx5 (Kaskade x deadmau5) will perform on March 18.
Billboard Presents The Stage at SXSW will take place at Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park in Austin.
Several artists will also take part in conversations during a variety of events hosted at The Billboard House (800 Congress) on March 17. The one-day-only interactive content house will feature brand activations, photo moments, bites, cocktails and more. Entry is on a first come first serve basis, with a reserved amount of spaces available exclusively to SXSW Music and Platinum Badge holders and SXSW Music Festival wristband holders.
Billboard will also be donating a portion of ticket proceeds to Waterloo GreenwayConservancy, a nonprofit organization that aims to create an urban park system in partnership with the city of Austin. The organization’s first phase, Waterloo Park, opened in 2021 to provide downtown green space, community programming and performing arts and entertainment at the Moody Amphitheater.
In addition to the presenting sponsors, Billboard will be sharing Reels on its official Facebook page across the three-day experience, and fans will have the opportunity to create custom Facebook Reels with unique experiential activations throughout SXSW.
The 30-year-old Colombian singer and songwriter will be among the headlining acts at the second edition of Sueños Music Festival.
In addition to Feid, headlining acts include Wisin y Yandel, Grupo Firme and Nicky Jam, who will all grace the stage on the weekend of May 27 and 28 in Chicago’s Grant Park.
The exclusively all-Latin music festival — which highlights regional Mexican and urbano powerhouse performers in the same roster — will also host reggaeton icon Ivy Queen, as well as Becky G, Eladio Carrion, Chencho Corleone, Junior H, Gera MX, Ryan Castro, Young Miko, Pao Pao and more.
From the founders of Mexico’s Baja Beach Fest, Sueños made its debut in 2022 with headlining acts J Balvin, Ozuna, and Farruko. Returning acts include Puerto Rican rapper Myke Towers, Dominican dembow purveyor El Alfa, as well as reggaeton pioneers Wisin y Yandel who will be headlining for a second year in a row.
“We’re thrilled to be coming back to Chicago for our second annual Sueños festival,” Aaron Ampudia and Chris Den Uijl, co-founders of Sueños, told Billboard Español in an email. “Last year was such a moment, you could feel the energy and excitement from fans no matter where you were at in the festival. It just felt like we were meant to be there, celebrating Latin music and culture with Chicago’s thriving Latino community – and this year we’re bringing even more.”
Wisin y Yandel kicked off their farewell tour La Última Misión last year, while showcasing their latest 2022 album of the same name. In December, the dynamic duo broke their own record at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot (a.k.a. El Choli) with a series of 14 homecoming shows, which included a New Year’s Eve performance, the first time ever the iconic venue held a show on said date.
Feid, who entered the Billboard 200 chart in October for his successful (and leaked!) LP Feliz Cumpleaños Ferxxo: Te Pirateamos el Álbum, is poised to make an impact in 2023. Late last year, Feid embarked on his first headlining U.S. tour, produced by Live Nation, selling out numerous dates.
The Mexican band Grupo Firme, who has been elevating norteña music to higher grounds, made a splash at last summer at Baja Beach Fest in Rosarito when the group surprised audiences with its performance of “Cada Quien” alongside Medellín superstar Maluma.
“We can’t wait to see what Grupo Firme, Wisin Y Yandel, Feid, Nicky Jam and all the phenomenal artists on the lineup bring to the Sueños stage this Memorial Day Weekend!” added the founders.
The 46-year-old Puerto Rican reggaeton singer earns his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart with “Punto 40,” his collaboration with Rauw Alejandro.
“Punto 40,” which rises to the top on the January 28-dated ranking, is the second single from Alejandro’s Saturno that debuted at No. 2 on Top Latin Albums last November.
The song climbs from No. 6 following a 26% gain in audience impressions, to 7.6 million, earned in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 19, according to Luminate.
“Punto 40” gives Baby Rasta his first chart-topper among 20 career entries. The new champ outdoes his previous highest ranking to date, “Amor Prohibido,” with Gringo, which reached a No. 6 high in 2014.
With its ascent, “Punto 40” also sends Feid’s “Normal” to No. 2 after one week in charge (6 million in audience, down 20%).
Alejandro, meanwhile, captures his 10th leader, all dating back just to 2020 with the two-week ruler “TBT,” with Sebastián Yatra and Manuel Turizo. Plus, “Punto 40” arrives eight months after his last, “Te Felicito,” with Shakira, in May 2022.
Here’s a look at the hitmaker’s leaderboard:
Peak, Title, Artist, Weeks at No. 1 June 27, 2020, “TBT,” with Sebastian Yatra, & Manuel Turizo, two
Sept. 12, 2020, “Tattoo,” with Camilo, one

Over on the all-genre Latin Airplay chart, “Punto Rasta” ascends to a new No. 4 high. With the lift Baby Rasta ensures his highest peak to date.
The 30-year-old Colombian singer and songwriter has logged his second No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart with “Normal.”
Feid’s track rises 8-1 in its 27th week with a 33% gain in audience impressions, to 8 million, earned in the U.S. during the January 6-12 tracking week, according to Luminate.
It’s the longest trek to the penthouse since the chart begun in 2005.
“Normal” becomes Feid’s first champ as a soloist, unaccompanied by any other act.
His first Latin Rhythm Airplay chart-topper landed through “Porfa,” with the all-star team comprising J Balvin, Maluma, Nicky Jam, Sech and Justin Quiles in August 2020.
On the all-genre Latin Airplay recap, “Normal” soars 16-4, Feid’s second top 10 on that chart.
He co-produced Bad Bunny’s history-making album Un Verano Sin Ti, and now Tainy is preparing to release his solo debut LP.
The 33-year-old Puerto Rican record producer and songwriter, whose real name is Marcos Efraín Masís Fernández, will release the star-studded DATA, in early 2023.
“[DATA] is a representation of who I am as a person, and as a fan of music,” Tainy tells Billboard Español. “To be able to have my own album is so special. I’m putting my everything into this, all the knowledge I’ve acquired since I started working with the people I admire.”
In addition to established hitmakers like J Balvin, Wisin & Yandel and Arcángel, the album will also feature brilliant upstarts like Young Miko, Ankhal and Kris Floyd.
To date, the 2022 Latin Grammy winner for producer of the year has unveiled the wildly successful “Lo Siento BB:/,” featuring Bad Bunny and Mexican singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas, as well as “Sci-Fi,” co-starring Rauw Alejandro.
“I’ve been 100% focused on my project, and “Lo Siento BB:/” is the first single. We will be releasing the final product at the top of the year. I’m so excited for it. I’ve been dreaming of doing this album before I even got into music, because these types of projects are what inspired me to get into music,” says Tainy. “As you might imagine, I’m working with most of the people that I’ve already worked with for a long time, and who I have a great relationship with: Benito, Jhayco, Rauw, Feid, Balvin, Wisin & Yandel, Arcángel…They have been a huge part of my career, so I wanted them to be a part of this, because they were a part of my journey. At the same time, I wanted to combine two worlds and merge this with the up-and-coming artists that I’m a fan of: Young Miko, Ankhal, Kris Floyd … all these guys, and how I brought in Julieta Venegas. [The album] shows more of who I am, and who my musical influences are.”
No exact date has been announced for the release of Tainy’s Data album.
Produced by Sky Rompiendo, the single begins with the sound of a cassette player and dreamy guitar riffs, as Feid single, “Someone like me was not going to fall in love” — setting the tone for ultra-sweet bop.
