Carín León Nabs Fourth No. 1 on Latin Airplay With ‘Ahí Estabas Tú’

Carín León places his second No. 1 of the year, and fourth overall, on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart, as “Ahí Estabas Tú” ascends 3-1 on the May 24-dated list. The new achievement comes only two months after his most recent triumph with “El Amor de Mi Herida.”

“Ahí Estabas Tú” claims the top spot on the overall Latin Airplay chart with 8.2 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. during the May 9-15 tracking week, according to Luminate –that’s a 21% gain from the previous week. The Greatest Gainer-awarded track of the week trades places with Gerardo Coronel ‘El Jerry’’s “No Se Dice,” after the latter drops 1-3 with a 5% dip in impressions (to 8.23 million).

“Ahí Estabas Tú” marks León’s second champ of 2025. Previously the Hermosillo, Sonora-born singer-songwriter took command of Latin Airplay for one week through “El Amor de Mi Herida” (March 22-dated list).

With a second ruler in 2025, León is only the second soloist to have two No. 1s on Latin Airplay this year unaccompanied by another act. Earlier in 2025, Bad Bunny topped the chart twice with his solo tracks “El Clúb” and “Baile Inolvidable,” each reigning for two weeks in February and March, respectively.

In total, four artists have secured two No. 1 hits in 2025 so far. Between Benito’s two chart-toppers, Myke Towers claimed the No. 1 spot with “Otra Noche” featuring Darell, for one week in February. He followed up with another No. 1 hit, “Degenere,” which features benny blanco, leading for one week on the May 3 chart. Meanwhile, Colombian Kapo placed back-to-back champs as “Más Que Tú,” with Ozuna, ceded its place to “Imagínate,” with Danny Ocean, on the April 26 list, both one-week rulers.

Beyond his Latin Airplay coronation, León also takes “Ahí Estabas Tú” to the summit on Regional Mexican Airplay, where it jumps 2-1, his eighth No. 1 overall. He ties Eden Muñoz for the fourth-most rulers among soloists in the 2020s decade. They trail Christian Nodal who leads with 17 No. 1 this decade, Gerardo Ortiz follows with 13, and Alejandro Fernández with 12 leaders.
