“Igual Que Un Ángel” puts the Colombian-American singer/songwriter back at No. 1 after almost three years, when “Telepatía” climbed 5-1 on the survey dated July 3, 2021, for her second champ on the overall Latin Airplay ranking. Peso picks up his fourth ruler, and second in 2024, following the one-week coronation of “Qlona,” with Karol G (March 2-dated tally).
In the tracking week of June 14-20, “Ángel” registered 7.93 million audience impressions, with a 13% increase from the week prior, according to Luminate. Thanks to that sum, the collab lands at No. 1 in its 11th week. The chart’s previous No. 1, El Fantasma’s “Sabor a Michelada,” falls to No. 10 with a 36% decline in audience, to 5.5 million.
“Ángel” takes the lead on Latin Airplay 23 weeks after it debuted atop the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs, Latin Streaming Songs and Latin Digital Song Sales charts (dated Jan. 27). On the latter, it dominated for four consecutive weeks. The song also made its run across multiple Billboard charts. Here’s the recap:

Jan. 27, Hot Latin Songs, No. 1, one

With “Ángel,” Peso Pluma switches genre gears and lands his first No. 1 on Latin Pop Airplay with his firt chart entry, with a 2-1 lift. (He’s previously charted No. 1s on both Regional Mexican Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay.) Uchis, meanwhile, loges her second No. 1 on Latin Pop Airplay, also three years after “Telepatía” took charge for one week in March 2021. In between, “No Hay Ley,” her second and last entry as a soloist unaccompanied by any other artist, reached No. 11 high in Feb. 2023.
Elsewhere, thanks to its radio pull, “Ángel” moves 19-16 on Hot Latin Songs, despite a 2% dip in streaming activity, with 2 million official U.S. streams during the tracking week.
