The 31-year-old Puerto Rican singer and songwriter has earned his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Pop Airplay chart with “Sin Ti,” his collaboration with Morat.
The track leaps from No. 4 to the top spot, earning the week’s Greatest Gainer honors, which recognize the song with the largest increase in audience impressions.
“Sin Ti” advances after a 56% gain across U.S. Latin pop radio, to 7.1 million, earned during the tracking period.
This marks Wheeler’s maiden No. 1.
Previously, the Puerto Rican came closest through “Extrañándote,” with wife Zhamira Zambrano, which peaked at No. 3 in 2024.
Colombian group Morat, meanwhile, claims its second chart-topper, four months since the pop band earned its first with “Me Toca a Mí,” with Camilo, in August.
The song flies 18-6 on other overall Latin Airplay chart, the highest rank for Wheeler since “Si Te Preguntan,” with Prince Royce and Nicky Jam, in 2022.
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.
“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.
The 45-year-old Colombian singer’s collaboration with Emilia, “Vestido Rojo,” rises 8-1 to rule Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart dated June 14.
The coronation on the overall Latin radio tally follows a 39% surge in audience impressions in the United States, which translates to 8.3 million, during the May 29-June 5 tracking week, according to Luminate.
It’s the third No. 1 for Dangond and second for Emilia.
“Vestido Rojo” was released on February 6 on Sony Music Latin. It lands at the summit in its eighth week on the chart, and after three weeks in the top 10.
Three Univision radio stations become the single’s main supporters. San Jose, Calif’s KVVF-FM registered the biggest gain in the period, with Phoenix’s KQMR-FM and Houston’s KAMA-FM landing in second and third place, respectively.
Thanks to the 8.3 million radio haul, “Vestido Rojo” marks Dangond’s return to the top of the ranking in over six years.
He last secured a No. 1 through another female team-up: “Justicia,” with Natti Natasha, ruled for one week in November 2018.
Among other placements, his first No. 1, “Cásate Conmigo,” with Nicky Jam, reached No. 1 that same year, in February 2018.
For Emilia, before ‘Vestido Rojo” unlocked the penthouse, the Argentinian singer earned her first chart-topper on Latin Airplay with “Perdonarte ¿Para Qué?” with Los Ángeles Azules, in July 2024. The song earned the family group its first coronation after nine top 10s.
“Vestido Rojo” also dresses up the top spot on Tropical Airplay, where Emilia achieves her first No. 1 through her first chart appearance on the list. Dangond, meanwhile, secures his third chart-topper on Tropical Airplay, likewise, his first since 2018, when “Cásate Conmigo,” with Nicky Jam, monopolized the top slot for eight consecutive weeks.
Beyond its Latin Airplay and Tropical Airplay coronations, “Vestido Rojo” rises to a new peak on the multi-metric Hot Tropical Songs chart, climbing 9-4.
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.
The 31-year-old Puerto Rican rapper and singer has secured his 13th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “Otra Noche,” featuring Darell, surges 13-1 for its first week atop on the chart dated February 22.
It’s the biggest jump of 2025 so far, out of the four songs that have ruled the tally.
“Otra Noche” rallies to the top after a 36% surge in audience impressions, to 7.8 million, earned in the U.S. in the Feb. 7-13 tracking week, according to Luminate.
The recent airplay boost for “Otra Noche” may be due in part to Towers’ upcoming participation at SBS’ Calibash festival on March 7, with SBS’ WSKQ (New York) among the biggest supporters of the song, with the most plays for the tracking week, while Univision’s WXNY (New York), KAMA (Houston) and KDXX (Dallas), and SBS’ WMEG (Puerto Rico) round up the top five stations by spin count.
As “Otra Noche” takes the lead, it ejects Bad Bunny’s “El Clúb” from No. 1 after two weeks in charge. The latter drops 4-1 with a 17% dip in impressions.
“Otra Noche” gives Towers his 13th No. 1 on Latin Airplay. He previously reigned with “La Capi” in May 2024. Darell, meanwhile, returns to the summit after five years; “Otro Trago,” with Sech, Nicky Jam, Ozuna and Anuel AA, ruled for one week in 2019.
As “Otra Noche” surges 13-1, it becomes the largest jump out of the four songs that have ruled Latin Airplay, and the only one to jump more than one slot to the top.
Shakira’s “Soltera,” Bad Bunny’s “El Clúb” and Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” all rose 2-1. The last song to have a larger jump to No. 1 came on the July 20, 2024, chart, when “Perdonarte Para Qué?” by Los Angeles Azules y Emilia climbed 15-1.
“Otra Noche” was the fourth single from Towers’ fifth studio album, La Pantera Negra, released August 2024 on Warner Latina. The album debuted at Nos. 7 and 2 on Top Latin Albums and Latin Rhythm Albums, respectively, last September.
