The 35-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning superstar’s latest single “BbY WOW,” a collaboration with Judeline and Rusowsky, has scored a second week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts dated September 19.

Judeline & Rusowsky, Karol GIt also marks Karol G’s first multi-week leader on the lists.

She previously topped each chart with “TQG,” with Shakira, in the song’s debut week in March 2023.

“BbY WOW” became the first No. 1 on the surveys for both Judeline and rusowsky.

The track continues as the biggest song in the world with 52.9 million streams (up 25% week over week) and 1,000 sold (up 24%) worldwide September 4-10, according to Luminate. It totaled 40 million streams (up 30%) outside the U.S.

Additionally, “BbY WOW” bounds 16-10 on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100, where it’s Karol G’s second Hot 100 top 10, after “TQG” reached No. 7, and Judeline and rusowsky’s first each.

“BbY WOW” concurrently leads the multimetric Hot Latin Songs chart for a fourth week.

The single appears on Karol G’s LP No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, which in August debuted at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

Karol G’s “No Me Arrepiento De Sentir Tanto” Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums Chart

Karol G is a woman on top…

The 35-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning superstar’s sixth studio album, No Me Arrepiento De Sentir Tanto, debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart dated August 22, halting Bad Bunny’s reign with Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

Karol GBad Bunny’s album has spent a record 77 nonconsecutive weeks atop the list and has been No. 1 since the January 24-dated chart.

Karol G’s set also floods Hot Latin Songs with 13 entries, led by “Ahí,” with Drake, which opens at No. 1.

No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto was released August 7 via Bichota/Interscope/Capitol, just more than a year after Tropicoqueta led the Top Latin Albums chart for two weeks in July 2025.

The new set marks Karol G’s fifth straight debut at the summit among seven career entries — only Unstoppable and Ocean fell short, peaking at No. 2 in 2017 and 2019, respectively.

No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto begins with 50,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the tracking week of August 7-13, according to Luminate.

 For its chart debut, the set registered 48,000 from streaming activity, which equals to 49.5 million official on-demand streams.

Album sales comprised a little over 1,000 units, with a negligible number of track-equivalent units.

With No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, Karol G adds her fifth No. 1 on Top Latin Albums. No other female artist has dominated the overall Latin albums ranking in the past decade like Karol G, who trails only the late Jenni Rivera and Shakira, each with seven No. 1 albums, the most among female artists in the chart’s history, dating to 1993.

Meanwhile, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto opens at No. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200 — Karol G’s fourth top 10 — and breaks through to No. 1 on Top Latin Pop Albums. Plus, the set arrives at No. 7 on Top Streaming Albums.

Here’s a rundown of Karol G’s No. 1s on Top Latin Albums:

Title, Debut Date, Weeks at No. 1
KG0516, April 10, 2021, one
Mañana Será Bonito, March 11, 2023, five
Mañana Sera Bonito (Bichota Season), Aug. 26, 2023, one
Tropicoqueta, July 5, 2025, two
No Me Arrepiento De Sentir Tanto, Aug. 22, 2026, one

On the tracks front, 13 tracks from the new album join two already charting titles on Hot Latin Songs, which includes streaming data, radio airplay and digital sales into its formula. “Después de Ti,” with duet parter Greg González, and the album’s first charting track, flies 17-10, while fellow advance single “Matadora” slips 4-3.

But the biggest winner is “Ahí,” her collab with Drake, which debuts at No. 1 largely by 5.9 million official U.S. clicks. The sum yields a No. 46 start on the overall Streaming Songs chart, and a No. 1 on Latin Streaming Songs.

Bad Bunny Tops Billboard’s Top Latin Albums of the 21st Century Chart with “YHLQMDLG”

Bad Bunny has the top album of the century…

The 31-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar’s YHLQMDLG rules as the No. 1 Latin album on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums of the 21st Century chart.

Bad BunnyThe retrospective is based on performance on the Top Latin Albums chart from the start of 2000 through the end of 2024.

The collection, released via Rimas Entertainment, is the longest-running No. 1 in the survey’s 32-year history, with 70 weeks at the summit in 2021-22.

“Thank you all who believed and who continue to believe in me,” Bad Bunny told Billboard in 2020 upon the album’s chart arrival. Echoing the meaning of its title, he said, “I do what I want, and it’s based on feelings. I don’t think about it. I do it for you and for the faith you have in me.”

At the time, Benito’s groundbreaking album became the all-genre Billboard 200’s highest charting all-Spanish-language album and scored the biggest streaming week ever for a Latin album and the largest week for a Latin title since Billboard began tracking albums by equivalent album units in December 2014.

It’s one of four Bad Bunny albums in the Top 10.

Bad Bunny’s debut album, X 100PRE, comes in at No. 3.

The release marked a significant moment in reggaetón and Latin trap music. One of its standout tracks, “MIA,” featuring Drake and produced by DJ Luian, La Paciencia, Mambo Kingz and Tainy, not only ruled Hot Latin Songs for 16 weeks in 2018-19 but also hit No. 5 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.

Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti comes in at No. 6.

With his fourth solo studio album, Bad Bunny set a new record for the biggest streaming week ever for a Latin album — surpassing the debut of his own YHLQMDLG.

On Hot Latin Songs, all 23 of the LP’s tracks charted upon its debut. The latter half of the album embraces Latin alternative sounds, punctuated by guests Bomba Estéreo, Buscabulla and the Marías.

And coming in at No. 10… Bad Bunny’s El Último Tour del Mundo.

It made history as the first all-Spanish-language release to claim the No. 1 spot on the overall Billboard 200 since its inception in 1956. The concept album that sees Benito experimenting with alternative sounds arrived as a surprise drop on November 26, 2020, at 11 p.m. ET (marking the end of Thanksgiving Day in the United States). The set houses the enduring “Dakiti,” with Jhayco, a 27-week No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs.

Bad Bunny Rules Billboard’s List of Top Latin Artists of the 21st Century

Bad Bunny is the man of the quarter-century… 

The 31-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning artist reigns as the No. 1 Latin act on Billboard’s recap of the first 25 years of the quarter-century, ruling Billboard’s Top Latin Artists of the 21st Century chart.

Bad Bunny,The retrospective is based on performance on the Top Latin Albums and Hot Latin Songs charts from January 2000 through December 2024.

Bad Bunny’s placement atop the Top Latin Artists of the 21st Century chart is all the more impressive in that he didn’t appear on Billboard’s rankings until 2016.

His tallies over 2000-24: 14 No. 1s on Hot Latin Songs and eight on Top Latin Albums.

He has since extended his respective counts to 16 and nine leaders, as well as a record 89 Hot Latin Songs top 10s — more than twice the totals of runners-up Enrique Iglesias and Luis Miguel (39 each) — dating to the chart’s 1986 start.

Benito was also Billboard‘s all-genre top artist of 2022 and is the reigning top Latin artist for five straight years, from 2020 to 2024.

Karol G Earns Fourth Consecutive No. 1 Album on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums Chart with “Tropicoqueta”

Karol G is a woman on top…

The 34-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning superstar’s fifth studio album, Tropicoqueta, debuts atop Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart dated July 5.

Karol GThe set also enters at No. 3 on the overall Billboard 200.

Plus, she shatters her own record among female artists, landing 20 simultaneous songs on the Hot Latin Songs chart (18 debuts among those).

Tropicoqueta was released June 20 via Bichota/Interscope/ICLG. It debuts at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart with 57,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the tracking week ending June 26, according to Luminate.

Biggest Latin Album Streaming Week by a Woman in 2025: Of Tropicoqueta’s first week-sum, streaming activity contributes 54,500 units, which translates to 74.64 million official on-demand audio and video streams of its songs. That’s the largest streaming week this year for a Latin album by a woman. Only one other Latin album overall has had bigger streaming weeks this year — Bad Bunny’s DebÍ Tirar Más Fotos, with eight weeks larger than Karol G’s opening streaming number.

Tropicoqueta’s sales also contribute another 2,000 units, while track-equivalent album activity brings in the remaining 500 units. (On Top Latin Albums, one unit equals one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.)

Thanks to Tropicoqueta bursting in at No. 1, Karol G collects her fourth consecutive chart-topper on Top Latin Albums. She enters an elite group of female artists who have achieved at least four No. 1 albums or more, after Jenni Rivera, Selena and Shakira who each boast seven No. 1 albums, and matches Ednita Nazario, Gloria Trevi, Thalia, with four No. 1 sets each.

Breaks Own Record Among Women on Hot Latin Songs Chart:
Building on her new chart-topping debut album, Karol G beats herself and sets a new record among women, landing 20 simultaneous songs on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, after she placed 16 concurrent songs in March 2023. 18 songs from Tropicoqueta debut on the chart that mixes airplay, streams and digital sales into its formula.

Bad Bunny Earns 28th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay Chart with “DTMF”

Bad Bunny continues his chart-topping ways…

The 31-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar’s single “DTMF” climbs 4-1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart, as he continues building on the success of his chart-topping album Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

Bad Bunny“DTMF” hits No. 1 in its 15th week on the chart, despite a 2% dip in audience impressions, earning 6.2 million in the U.S. in the tracking week ending May 8, according to Luminate.

Meanwhile, its parent album, his sixth studio set, returns to No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 for a fourth nonconsecutive week, thanks to its vinyl release, while it adds an 18th week at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums.

“DTMF” is the second song from Debí Tirar Más Fotos to reach the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart’s apex, after “El Clúb” crowned the chart for three weeks in February.

Plus, it awards Benito his 28th No. 1, all within a period of seven years.

Overall, he trails only J Balvin (37 champs), Daddy Yankee (35) and Ozuna (32), for the most No. 1s in the chart’s history.

“DTMF” arrives at the summit on Latin Rhythm Airplay, as it adds a 17th week atop the Hot Latin Songs chart, of its 18 total weeks on the list (which blends streams, airplay and sales).

It holds strong at No. 1 despite a 2% dip in streams, to 7.8 million, but enough to yield a concurrent 17th week atop Latin Streaming Songs.

The song remains the longest-leading track on the multi-metric tally since Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma’s “Ella Baila Sola” concluded its 19th week No. 1 run in August 2019.

Hot Latin Songs combines streaming activity, radio airplay and digital sales into its formula.

“DTMF” also gains momentum on the overall Latin Airplay chart, rising 9-5 for its new peak.

Thanks to the double vinyl release of Debí Tirar Más Fotos, the album extends its reign on the Top Latin Albums chart, reaching an 18th week at No. 1, encompassing its entire chart run.

Gloria Estefan Releases New Single “Raíces” from First Spanish-Language Album in 18 Years

Gloria Estefan is embracing her raíces…

In the lead up to the release of her first Spanish-language album in 18 years, the 67-year-old Cuban Grammy-winning singer, actress and businesswoman has released the first single from the set, written by her producer-husband Emilio Estefan and aptly titled “Raíces.”

Gloria Estefan“Always enjoy the moments because you never know what surprises life will bring,” Estefan sings, expressing how love and life are very much like planting seeds. “If you want a good harvest, you need to know how to sow/ With faith and dedication, that tree will grow roots.”

“The song ‘Raíces’ touched my soul the first moment I heard it,” Gloria Estefan tells Billboard Español. “Being a Virgo, my connection with nature is strong, and I see life as a garden, with love as the seed. I believe that what you cultivate with kindness, patience, and faith will one day bloom into joy.”

She adds: “It is important not to miss the opportunity to express love because every sincere word and gesture plants the roots of a beautiful tomorrow — and that is what this song is all about.”

Recorded at their Crescent Moon Studios in Miami, “Raíces” is a tribute to the rhythms that have defined Estefan’s sound: salsa, tropical beats, classic Latin music.

The song will also give its title to her new album — the 30th in a 50-year career — which will be released at the end of May under Sony Music. It will be her first fully Spanish-language album in 18 years, since 90 Millas, which debuted and spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in October 2007.

“For me, recording in Spanish again was a contribution to our music,” Emilio Estefan tells Billboard Español, noting that they worked with “great musicians, engineers, and industry professionals” and that he personally wrote almost the entire album because “I wanted it to reflect our essence: Gloria’s sound and mine.”

“[When we started], I remember people telling us that our sound would never work and that we should change our last name. But we understood the value of our culture and our roots,” he explains, referring to their beginnings in the mid-1970s with the Miami Sound Machine. “When Gloria reached the top of the charts worldwide [singing in English], we took a big risk and decided to record Mi Tierra, an album that represented one of our greatest victories.”

The iconic first LP by Gloria Estefan in Spanish from 1993, which included hits like “Mi Tierra” and “Con Los Años Que Me Quedan,” spent a whooping 58 weeks at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums.

More than three decades later, the renowned Cuban producer and musician along with the singer-songwriter present “a letter of gratitude to the fans, to the press, to those who believed in us, and to the city of Miami, which watched us grow and then allowed us to bring our music to the whole world.”

“It is a moment full of emotions for Gloria and me, a celebration of our culture and our audience,” Emilio Estefan says. “The most beautiful thing about a career is being able to leave a legacy of gratitude.”

The set is the only Latin album to appear on the chart’s top 10 since Ivan Cornejo’s Mirada debuted at No. 9 with 9,000 copies sold in August 2024.

Streaming activity contributes 113,500 units which represents 152.6 million official on-demand streams of the 17 songs on the album. The sum yields the largest streaming week for a Latin album in over a year, since Bad Bunny’s own Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana launched at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums with 239.56 million on-demand official streams for its songs (Oct.ober 28, 2023-dated chart). Track-equivalent album units comprise the remaining 500 units of DeBÍ’s first week sum.

With DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, Bad Bunny lands his ninth straight No. 1 on Top Latin Albums, the entirety of his charting releases. The streak began with 2019’s X100PRE which led for 46 weeks. That same year, Benito scored his second champ through the J Balvin-jointed set Oasis (eight weeks atop). YHLQMDLG, however, became his most profitable project to date, with 70 weeks at No. 1, the longest-leading album overall since Top Latin Albums begun in 1993.
