‘TQMQA’ Takes Eladio Carrión to His First No. 1 on a Billboard Chart

Eladio Carrión may have scored multiple top 10s across the Billboard charts, but he can now cross off a new milestone as he attains his first No. 1 on any ranking with “TQMQA,” a song outside of his usual rhythmic realm.

“TQMQA,” a Latin pop-tinged song — short for “Te Quiero Más Que Ayer” — rises 2-1 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart (dated March 2) with 5.4 million audience impressions, up 9%, earned in the U.S. during the Feb. 16-22 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The song is the first single from Carrión’s fifth studio album, Sol María, which debuted and peaked at No. 6 on Top Latin Albums and at No. 3 on Latin Rhythm Albums charts (Feb. 3).

“TQMQA,” released and promoted via Rimas Entertainment, yields the Puerto Rican-American rapper and Latin trap singer his first Latin Pop Airplay No. 1 with his third chart appearance. His breakthrough Latin Pop Airplay song, “Alejarme De Ti” with Jay Wheeler, earned Carrión his first top 10 there, peaking at No. 9 in March 2022, while “No Puede Ser,” with Mau y Ricky, reached No. 22 a month later, in April 2022.

Prior to its radio impact, “TQMQA” debuted and peaked at No. 39 on the multimetric Hot Latin Songs chart, which blends airplay, digital sales, and streaming activity.

Elsewhere, the song climbs 22-19 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, Carrión’s highest entry since “Nunca y Pico,” with Yandel and Maluma, earned him his first top 10, peaking at No. 6 in Nov. 2022.
