Bad Bunny becomes the only act with three songs to spend at least 20 weeks atop the tally. He previously spent 27 weeks in a row at No. 1 with his collaboration with Jhay Cortez, “Dakiti,” in 2020-21, and 20 straight weeks on top with “Me Porto Bonito,” his collab with Chencho Corleone, in 2022.
Only two other artists have tallied multiple songs with 20-plus-week runs at No. 1: Enrique Iglesias and J Balvin, each with two. Iglesias’ “Bailando,” featuring Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona, dominated for 41 weeks (2014-15), and “El Perdón,” with Nicky Jam, ruled for 30 weeks (2015). Meanwhile, J Balvin’s “Ginza” spent 22 weeks at No. 1 (2015-16), and “RITMO (Bad Boys for Life),” with Black Eyed Peas, led the chart for 24 weeks (2020).
“DtMF” holds strong atop Hot Latin Songs despite a decline across all metrics. On the tally that ranks songs based on a formula blending streaming, sales and airplay totals in the United States, the song fell by 3% in streams, to 7.8 million, in the tracking week ending May 29, according to Luminate. It also earned 8 million audience impressions, down 12%, which yields a 1-3 dip on the overall Latin Airplay chart.
Karol’s 29th Top 10
Elsewhere on Hot Latin Songs, Karol G adds her 29th top 10 with “Latina Foreva.” The song, released May 22 via Bichota/Interscope/ICLG, debuts at No. 4 predominantly by streaming activity. It logged 6.9 million U.S. official on-demand streams during the May 23-29 tracking week, enough for a No. 3 on Latin Streaming Songs.
Sales, too, assist the song’s high start: 1,000 downloads sold during the same period for a 15-1 surge on Latin Digital Song Sales.
