J Balvin Breaks No. 1 Record on Latin Rhythm Airplay With Chencho Corleone Collab

J Balvin teams up with Chencho Corleone for their first collaborative No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart, as “Polvo De Tu Vida” rises 5-1 to rule the Oct. 12-dated survey. The song is the second single from J Balvin’s album Rayo, which reached the top five on Latin Rhythm Albums in August.

As “Polvo De Tu Vida” shoots to No. 1, it gives J Balvin his 36th No. 1, who breaks from a tie with Daddy Yankee, for the latter’s second-most rulers. Here’s the recap of the acts with the most No. 1s on Latin Rhythm Airplay since its inception in 2005:

36, J Balvin
35, Daddy Yankee
31, Ozuna
25, Bad Bunny
20, Maluma
20, Wisin & Yandel
19, Wisin

Thanks to the new hit, Corleone adds his sixth champ, dating to his featured turn in Tito El Bambino’s “A Que No Te Atreves,” which dominated for five weeks in 2014.

“Polvo De Tu Vida” climbs four spots to No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay, sporting the biggest jump to the chart’s peak in 2024, among the 14 songs that have landed at the summit so far. The single commands with 6.13 million audience impressions earned among U.S. monitored radio stations, that’s a 26% increase from the week prior, during the tracking week ending Oct. 3, according to Luminate.

Although not a record, the song wrapped a 14-week journey to the penthouse, tying with Venesti’s “Es Normal” for the fifth-longest climb to No. 1 in 2024. Here are the songs which endured the longest wait to the top on Latin Rhythm Airplay this year:

Weeks to No. 1, Artist, Song, Peak Date
20, Bad Bunny & Feid, “Perro Negro,” April 13
20, Manuel Turizo & Yandel, “Mamasota,” July 20
18, Ozuna, “Baccarat,” March 30
17, Yandel & Myke Towers, “Borracho y Loco,” Feb. 3
14, Venesti, “Es Normal,” July 27

Balvin is back atop Latin Rhythm Airplay after “Dientes,” with Usher and DJ Khaled, ruled for one week last November. Corleone last dominated through “Podemos Repetirlo,” with Don Omar, in September 2023.
