Feid is back atop the Billboard charts…

The 33-year-old Colombian singer, songwriter and record producer has added a 12th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “Se Lo Juro Mor” jumps 3-1 on the chart dated December 20.

Feid

“Se Lo Juro Mor” – and its music video – debuted on August 20 via Universal Music Latino/UMLE.

Produced by Medellín, Colombia-based producer and engineer Wain, the song became the highlight of Feid’s 33rd birthday celebration, when the Colombian took over Tokyo’s vibrant Shibuya commercial center, where more than 500 fans attended, all dressed in his signature green.

“Se Lo Juro Mor” leaps 3-1 on the December 5-11 tracking week, fueled by 9.1 million audience impressions in the United States, as reported by Luminate. That’s a 22% surge from the previous week, during which the song garnered 7.4 million impressions.

The new chart-topper brings Feid his 12th No. 1 on Latin Airplay, just three weeks after he claimed his first chart leader through a Karol G collab with her single “Verano Rosa,” one of 15 tracks on her No. 1 album Tropicoqueta.

With this achievement, Feid ties Daddy Yankee and Rauw Alejandro for the sixth-most No. 1s among all acts on Latin Airplay in the 2020s decade, when the Colombian secured his first champ through “Porfa,” with J Balvin, Maluma, Nicky Jam, Sech and Justin Quiles, in August 2020.

Here is that list of winners:

Bad Bunny, 23
J Balvin, 21
Ozuna, 19
Myke Towers, 16
Karol G, 15
Daddy Yankee, 12
Feid, 12
Rauw Alejandro, 12
Maluma, 11
Shakira, 10

Bad Bunny Wins Five Latin Grammy Awards, Including Album of the Year

Bad Bunny is celebrating a special first…

The 31-year-old Puerto Rican superstar was the big winner at Thursday night’s Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, taking home five trophies, including album of the year for his acclaimed Debí Tirar Más Fotos, a project which embraced his island’s musical heritage – and paved the way for him to be named the performer for next year’s Super Bowl halftime show.

Bad BunnyIt’s Bad Bunny’s first-ever win in the album of the year category.

Dedicating the award to “all the youth of Latin America” he added: “There are many ways of being patriotic and defending our homelands. We chose music.”

Argentinian duo Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso also claimed five awards; with other winners including Alejandro Sanz, Gloria Estefan and Karol G.

The rapidly growing Latin music sector generated a record $1.4bn (£1.06bn) in 2024, making up 8.1% of total U.S. music revenue, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which said it was shaping culture faster than any other genre.

Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been at the forefront of that movement. For three consecutive years between 2020 and 2022, he was the most-streamed artist in the world.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos is his sixth album, and fuses live instrumentation with the hip-swaying pulse of reggaetón and traditional Puerto Rican styles like plena.

At the Latin Grammys, the title track earned him best urban song and best urban performance. He also picked up best reggaetón performance for “Voy a llevarte pa PR,” and best urban music album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

He’s nominated for six awards at the mainstream Grammys, which take place in February, including the three major categories of album, song and record of the year.

Bad Bunny recently wrapped up a barnstorming concert residency in Puerto Rico; and is about to kick off his world tour in the Dominican Republic.

However, he made headlines when he said the tour would not include any dates on the US mainland because he was concerned his fans might be targeted by immigration raids.

His subsequent booking for next year’s Super Bowl rankled some US conservatives.

President Donald Trump called the decision “absolutely ridiculous” and that he had “never heard” of the star – who has 74 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

The Latin Grammy ceremony kicked off with a star-studded tribute to Mexican-American guitarist Carlos Santana, with Maluma, Edgar Barrera, Grupo Frontera and Christian Nodal playing a medley that began with his hit single “Oye Como Va.”

Karol G and Marco Antonio Solís also took the stage for a sweet duet on “Coleccionando Heridas;” while Gloria Estefan played songs from her latest record Raíces, which went on to win best tropical album.

But Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso were judged to have the stand-out moment of the evening, with a colourful, off-the-wall medley of their hits “El Impostor,” “#Tetas,” “La Que Puede,” “Puede” and “El Día Del Amigo.”

The duo dominated the alternative music categories – winning best alternative album and best alternative song. They also picked up best short-form and best long-form video, and pop song of the year for “El Día Del Amigo.”

Speaking backstage, the childhood friends expressed their gratitude to each other.

“The most important thing here is that we’ve known each other since we were six years old,” said Amoroso.

“All of this wasn’t planned, it just happened. I want to tell Ca7riel that he’s my friend, that I love him.”

Ca7riel then surprised Paco with a long and seemingly passionate kiss.

Elsewhere, Paloma Morphy, a 25-year-old Mexican singer, won best new artist after her debut album, Au, seduced listeners with its catchy melodies and vulnerable stories of heartbreak.

Karol G won song of the year for “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” a lilting love song with a Merengue flavor, from her blockbuster fifth album Tropicoqueta.

And Spanish superstar Alejandro Sanz picked up record of the year for his beautiful ballad “Palmeras en el Jardín” – unexpectedly beating Bad Bunny’s smash hit “Baile Inolvidable.”

Pedro Pascal Named to Harper’s Bazaar’s 50 Hottest Men of All Time List

Pedro Pascal is en fuego… 

The 50-year-old Chilean actor has been named to Harper’s Bazaar’s list of the 50 “hottest men of all time,” which gave points for sexiness and charm.

Pedro PascalPascal, the highest ranking Latino celebrity on the list who comes in at No. 4, is highlighted for always looking incredible, no matter whether he’s “guiding wayward children across dystopias or showing up to interviews in a mesh shirt and nail polish,” per the magazine.

Bad Bunny comes in at No. 8 on the list.

The 31-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning Latin music superstar’s “peak” level of hot came when he showed off his abs in his March Calvin Klein advertisement.

The “hottest man” honor is just the latest feather in Bad Bunny’s cap this year.

He’s also been turning up the heat ever since he dropped album Debi Tirar Mas Fotos — which spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — from hosting Saturday Night Live in March to breaking sales records with his upcoming tour.

Jacob Elordi ranks No. 16.

The 28-year-old half-Spanish Australian actor has played the “hot guy” in seemingly every film and show since The Kissing Booth, so his upcoming role as Frankenstein‘s monster will be a true test, says the magazine.

The list was led by frontrunner James Dean, with fellow Old Hollywood dreamboats Paul Newman and Marlon Brando also getting recognition.

The “hottest man” honor is just the latest feather in Bad Bunny’s cap this year.

Oscar Isaac comes in at No. 36 on the roster.

The 46-year-old Cuban-Guatemalan actor, who was born to rule the sci-fi universe, looks good brooding under desert suns and alien moons, per the magazine.

Lastly, Maluma comes in at No. 45.

Whether he’s flashing that mischievous smile in a backstage interview or walking through a luxury villa in slow motion, the 31-year-old Colombian singer owns every heartbeat in the room, says the magazine.

Here’s a look at the Latinos who made the grade.

No. 4 Pedro Pascal
No. 8 Bad Bunny
No. 16 Jacob Elordi
No. 36 Oscar Isaac

No. 45 Maluma

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

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.

J BalvinThe 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.

It’s Lucky No. 13 for Maluma…

The 31-year-old Colombian superstar has earned his 13th No. 1 on Latin Pop Airplay chart with “Cosas Pendientes.”

MalumaIt’s Maluma’s first champ in two years.

Maluma’s song improves due to 12% gain in audience impressions, to 6.4 million, per Luminate.

The song, written by Maluma alongside Edgar Barrera, Keityn and Casta, is a warm nod to his day-one fans.

It’s the first single from upcoming +Pretty +Dirty album.

Grupo Frontera Extends Record for Most No. 1s in a Calendar Year on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay Chart with “Hecha Pa’ Mi”

Grupo Frontera is celebrating another chart-topper…

It only took four months for the Regional Mexican band from South Texas to regain its No. 1 slot on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart as “Hecha Pa’ Mi” jumps 2-1 on the December 14-dated ranking.

Grupo FronteraBefore the song rose to No. 1, Grupo Frotera previously ruled with their Maluma collaboration, “Por Qué Será?” for one week in August.

“Hecha Pa’ Mi,” released on the group’s label (Grupo Frontera) on October 3, traces its gain to 7.8 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. during the November 29-December 5 tracking week, according to Luminate, a 16% increase from the previous week.

The song trades places with “Amor Bonito” by Luis Angel “El Flaco,” as the latter dips 1-2 with a 7% decline in audience for the week.

While Grupo Frontera earns its 11th No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay, the second-most in the 2020s decade (behind Calibre 50’s 12 rulers), with the new arrival, the group achieves its fifth champ in 2024 and extends its record for the most leaders in the calendar year.

Here’s a look at the artists with the most No. 1s on the radio tally in 2024:

5, Grupo Frontera
3, Alejandro Fernández
3, Eden Muñoz
3, Xavi

With its 16% surge in audience, “Hecha Pa’ Mi” takes home the Greatest Gainer trophy, awarded weekly to the song with the biggest increase in impressions on the 40-deep chart.

Plus, it becomes the group’s first No. 1 song unaccompanied by any other collaborator among its collection of 11 leaders.

Further, continued progress among Regional Mexican stations pushes “Hecha Pa’ Mi” 5-3 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, for the song’s new peak there.

The song also advances 13-12 on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart despite decreases in the two other metrics that inform the chart. It generated 2.5 million official U.S. streams, that’s a 15 dip in clicks during the tracking period, while declined 33% in digital sales.

“Hecha P’a Mi” went viral in October after the band crashed a wedding to perform the song, surprising the bride, groom and guests.

“You won’t believe me,” leading singer Payo said on social media. “I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but that gig was more difficult than a concert. I swear, I was more nervous than in a concert.”

Maluma is back with new music…

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

MalumaIt 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.

Karol GKarol G was present at the recent grand reveal in New York City, where she reacted to her two figures: one that captures the Colombian-inspired outfit and signature blue hair that she rocked during her 2022 Coachella performance; the other is one of her looks from the “TQG” music video with Shakira, where she had her striking red locks.

“Wow, how impressive!” Karol said in a press statement. “My first impression was I love my smile, and the color of my eyes […] I hope when my fans meet the figures that it’s a manifestation for them that one day they will meet me.”

Pipe Bueno Signs Deal with Warner Music Latina

Pipe Bueno has a new deal…

The 32-year-old Colombian singer-songwriter has signed a deal with Warner Music Latina, becoming the label’s latest signee deriving from Colombia’s música popular scene.

Pipe BuenoThe agreement was made with Bueno’s management companies Ocesa Seitrack, where he’s represented by Alex Mizrahi and Octavio Padilla, and JB Management, where he’s represented by Juan Guillermo Ballesteros.

He signed with both companies last year. Campaigns for Bueno will be managed and operated from the Warner Música Mexicana division in Los Angeles, with the support of Warner Music Mexico.

“At some point, I envisioned being backed by one of the best record labels in the world, and without a doubt, Warner Music is one of them,” said Bueno in a statement. “I am excited to know that today I am signing with a company that has begun to believe in Colombian regional music, and has its eyes set on our genre. I have high expectations, and Warner Music’s support will be crucial in achieving everything I have in mind.”

“For us, making this signing happen was very important,” added Ballesteros. “We have achieved an incredible partnership with a total focus on everything that surrounds Pipe Bueno…his music and all his projects as a brand. We want to elevate the Colombian genre to another level, and we are confident we have found the best way to do it with Warner Music.”

Under the new deal, Bueno announces his upcoming album. According to a press release, it “promises a unique fusion, showcasing his Colombian regional music while honoring and celebrating Mexican regional music.” His debut single under the label, “Una Pregunta” featuring Gerardo “El Jerry” Coronel, premieres Thursday (July 25).

“We are delighted to welcome Pipe Bueno to the Warner Music family,” said Roberto Andrade Dirak, MD of Warner Music Latina. “His dedication and passion for Colombian popular music are inspiring, and we are proud to be part of this new stage in his career.”

Rubén Abraham, GM of Mexican music at Warner Music Latina, added: “He’s an artist who respects and deeply understands the essence of Mexican regional music. His upcoming album is a great opportunity to continue boosting Pipe’s career in Mexico and the United States; it features high-level collaborations that reinforce Pipe’s credibility and respect in Mexican music.”

The artist born Andrés Felipe Giraldo Bueno launched his self-titled debut album in 2008 and has since risen to pioneer “la música popular Colombiana,” a musical genre that fuses traditional folk music from the Paisa Region with Regional Mexican elements, such as mariachi and ranchera.

The genre is locally known as “música de cantina” and is played at every parranda, parties that feature local music and food.

Bueno has since laced the genre with urban and pop rhythms by teaming up with artists such as Wisin, Zion and Darrel. He has also collaborated twice with his good friend and colleague Maluma on the tracks “La Invitación” (2014) and “Tequila” (2020). The former track peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay chart in 2017.
