Feid Earns 12th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay Chart with “Se Lo Juro Mor”

Posted on December 17, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

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.

“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

Posted on November 14, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

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.

It’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.”

Karol G to Perform at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Posted on October 8, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Karol G is sharing a special secret…

The 34-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning singer will form part of an all-female musical lineup at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Karol G will be joined by Madison Beer, Missy Elliott and TWICE for Victoria’s Secret’s iconic event.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will take place October 15 in New York City, where performers will join supermodels on the runway to celebrate the intersection of music, fashion and empowerment.

“Performing at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has been a dream of mine since I can remember,” KAROL G tells Billboard. “I can’t wait to share the stage with such strong and empowered women, and to celebrate femininity while uplifting each other through two of my favorite things: music and fashion.”

Fresh off announcing KAROL G Radio on SiriusXM and launching her Cristalino tequila, Karol G continues her stellar ascent.

Her latest album Tropicoqueta reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and KAROL is set to become the first Latina artist to headline Coachella in 2026.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will stream live on October 15 at 7:00 pm ET across Victoria’s Secret’s Instagram, YouTube and TikTok pages.

Fans can also tune in at 6:30 pm ET for the pink carpet pre-show on Prime Video and Amazon Live, where the full event will later be available for on-demand viewing.

Karol G Launches Limited Time Channel on SiriusXM This Hispanic Heritage Month

Posted on October 3, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Karol G is having a special moment on the radio…

The 34-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning superstar has launched Karol G Radio on SiriusXM in commemoration of Hispanic Heritage Month.

According to a press release, the channel will be available to subscribers in their cars on channel 79 from October 3 – 9 and on the SiriusXM app through October 14.

Karol G Radio will give listeners an inside look at the hitmaker’s journey to global stardom and the stories behind her biggest hits as well as her latest album Tropicoqueta.

“I’m so excited for my fans to immerse themselves in the world of Tropicoqueta through KAROL G Radio,” Karol said in a statement. “This is a chance for them to connect with me and the project on a deeper level—from the stories behind how certain tracks came together to the songs that shaped both me and this entire album. I hope everyone enjoys listening to KAROL G Radio as much as we did while bringing it to life.”

Karol G Earms 19th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay Chart with “Latina Foreva”

Posted on July 21, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Karol G is a foreva chart-topper…

The 34-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning singer/songwriter’s latest single “Latina Foreva” rises 2-1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart for its first week at the helm of Billboard‘s overall Latin radio ranking dated July 26.

Karol G strengthens her hold on the second-most No. 1 titles among women, raising her total to 19 champs. Shakira continues at the helm with 24 No. 1s.

“Latina Foreva” rises with 8.9 million audience impressions earned in the United States in the tracking week ending July 17, according to Luminate. That’s a 14% gain across Latin radios from the week prior.

The song becomes the second chart-topping single from her latest No. 1 album Tropicoqueta.

It follows “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” which ruled Latin Airplay for 27 weeks, the longest-leading No. 1 song in the history of the almost 31-year-old tally.

As Karol G collects her 19th No. 1 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, she cements her second-most wins among women, trailing only Shakira, who still holds the record for the most rulers by a female artist since Latin Airplay began in 1994.

Further, “Latina Foreva” is the 13th song by a female soloist, without a collaborator, to hit No. 1 on Latin Airplay in the 2020s decade.

Notably, six out of those titles belong to Karol G herself, while Natti Natasha is the only other woman to secure two rulers or more on her own this decade.

Here’s a summary of the No. 1 hits by female solo artists since January 2020:

Artist, Title, Peak Date
Karol G, “Ay, Dios Mio!” Jan. 10, 2020
Karol G, “Bichota,” Feb. 13, 2021
Kali Uchis, “Telepatía,” July 3, 2021
Natti Natasha, “Noches En Miami,” Oct. 16, 2021
Karol G, “Sejodioto,” Feb. 12, 2022
Karol G, “Provenza,” July 9, 2022
Becky G, “Bailé Con Mi Ex,” Sept. 10, 2022
Rosalía, “Despechá,” Oct. 8, 2022
Karol G, “Mi Ex Tenía Razón,” Oct. 7, 2023
Karol G, “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” July 7, 2024
Gloria Estefan, “Raíces,” May 10, 2025
Natti Natasha, “Desde Hoy,” June 21, 2025
Karol G, “Latina Foreva,” July 26

Elsewhere, “Latina Foreva” holds steady atop Latin Rhythm Airplay for a third week, where Karol G continues to hold the record for the most rulers since the chart launched in 2005.

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

Posted on June 30, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

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.

The 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.

Here is Karol G’s activity on the Top Latin Albums chart dating back to her first entry in 2017:

Debut & Peak, Title, Debut Date, Weeks at No. 1
No. 2, Unstoppable, Nov. 18, 2017
No. 2, Ocean, May 18, 2019
No. 1, KG0516, April 10, 2021, one
No. 1, Mañana Será Bonito, March 11, 2023, five
No. 1, Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), Aug 26, 2023, one
No. 1, Tropicoqueta, July 5

Elsewhere, Tropicoqueta launches as Karol’s third top 10 overall among six career entries on the overall Billboard 200, at No. 3, behind two English-language albums: Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem (in its sixth week at No. 1) and Benson Boone’s American Heart (No. 2 debut).

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. Those join “Latina Foreva,” the highest-ranked song from the album, which rises 8-4. Plus, stand-alone single “Milagros,” at No. 45.

Here’s a recap of Karol G’s takeover on Hot Latin Songs this week:

No. 4, “Latina Foreva”
No. 5, “Papasito”
No. 9, “Verano Rosa,” with Feid
No. 11, “Coleccionando Heridas,” with Marco Antonio Solis
No. 13, “Ivonny Bonita”

No. 24, “Tu Perfume”

No. 48, “La Reina Presenta”

Karol G Releases Track List for Forthcoming Album “Tropicoqueta,” Featuring Latin Music All-Stars

Posted on June 18, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Karol G has lined up some Latin music A-listers for her next album…

The 34-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning superstar has revealed the full track list for her fifth studio album, Tropicoqueta, which comes out this Friday, June 20.

“Intense chapters, unexpected twists, endearing characters. This is the official Track Listing for this new story of my life!” Karol G captioned her post revealing her new tunes. “Each song has its own story. Each collaboration has its own reason.”

The 20-set album kicks off with “La Reina Presenta” and wraps with the title track.

The previously released “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” and “Latina Foreva” are part of the set.

The former, a sweet merengue single that Karol G dropped last summer, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs, Latin Airplay and Tropical Airplay charts.

The tracklist reveals she reeled in key collaborators for Tropicoqueta, including Panamanian reggae plena artist Eddy Lover on “Dile Luna”; Mexican crooner Marco Antonio Solís on “Coleccionando Heridas”; Colombian pop star Greeicy on “Amiga Mía”; French-Spanish reggae star Manu Chao on “Viajando Por El Mundo”; and for a second collaborative effort, Mariah Angeliq on “FKN Movie.”

Notably, track No. 13 is empty, but if fans search for “Karol G” on Google, they will be led to a clue that hints it could be another collaboration with Feid, following their 2021 “FRIKI.” (Spoiler alert: The screen reads “canción 13 feat. ????” accompanied by a green heart.)

Tropicoqueta is set to be a nostalgic and personal project on which La Bichota recently said she’s “going back to the roots, to the songs I grew up listening to, to the sounds that made me fall in love with music.”

Karol G Teams Up with Five Telenovela Legends in Promotional Clip for Her New Album “Tropicoqueta”

Posted on June 17, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Karol G is living her telenovela fantasy in preparation for her upcoming album.

The 34-year-old Colombian singer teamed up with five telenovela icons for a new promotional clip for her forthcoming album, Tropicoqueta.

Inspired by ‘90s Latin soap operas, Karol G released a nearly two-minute Spanish-language video starring herself alongside actresses Anahí, Itatí Cantoral, Gaby Spanic, Ninel Conde and Azela Robinson.

In true telenovela fashion, Karol and Anahí are in love with the same man — who is revealed via photo to be a long-haired Ricky Martin from the ‘90s — and later confront each other in a heated fight.

Cantoral rushes in with her iconic Soraya Montenegro phrase from Maria la del Barrio, and screams, “What are you doing? Don’t mess with my daughter, maldita lisiada!” To which Conde then breaks up the argument by responding to Cantoral, “Mamacita, you’re still doing this? It’s been so many years, please get over it!”

Toward the end of the skit, Spanic and Robinson drive up in a red van listening to an upcoming track from the album. “The woman is iconic/ she has dreams/ she has goals,” the lyrics go.

In an Instagram post with photos from the shoot, Karol revealed that she first called Anahí for the project, and then everything else fell in place. “How crazy!!! Nothing like having the opportunity to make a dream come true!!!” she captioned the post. “You touched our lives with each of your roles. What energy on set, what laughter, the most fun shoot ever!!!! What an incredible time we had!! Thank you, queens, for saying yes! It’s an honor to be in the same room with you!”

Tropicoqueta, Karol G’s fifth studio album, will drop Friday, June 20.

t’s set to be a nostalgic and personal project on which La Bichota says she’s “going back to the roots, to the songs I grew up listening to, to the sounds that made me fall in love with music.”
