Romeo Santos makes his first top 10 debut since 2017 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart with “X Si Volvemos,” the king of bachata’s first collaboration with Karol G (which translates to “in case we go back”), as the song opens at No. 5 on the Feb. 18-dated list. The also serves as Santos’ 21st hit on Hot Latin Songs.

“X Si Volvemos” bows in the top 10 on the multi-metric ranking mainly on the strength of streaming activity. It logged 8.9 million after its first full tracking week ending on Feb. 9, according to Luminate. Its opening count yields a No. 42 on the all-genre Streaming Songs chart and a No. 2 arrival on Latin Streaming Songs.

The upbeat rhythmic track was released Feb. 10 via Universal Music Latino and it’s the fourth single from Karol G’s fourth studio album Mañana Será Bonito, slated for a Feb. 26 release. The set was preceded by the Hot Latin Songs No. 1 hit “Provenza” (May 14, 2022) and the No. 4-peaking “Gatúbela” (Sept. 2022).

“X Si Volvemos” also traces its top five start to sales and airplay. On the sales front, the collab increased by 132% with 1,300 downloads sold during the same period. It moves 4-2 on Latin Digital Song Sales in its second week.

Airplay contributes minimally to its Hot Latin Songs debut. It registered 1,000 in audience impressions during its first tracking week, not enough to debut on the all-genre Latin Airplay chart this week.

As “Volvemos” arrives at No. 5 on the airplay-streaming- and digital sales-blended Hot Latin Songs ranking, Santos secures his first top 10 debut since “Imitadora,” featuring Nicky Jam and Daddy Yankee, opened at No. 7 in July 2017. Santos’s previous top 10 arrived through “Sus Huellas” (No. 10 high in March 2022). Santos has claimed six top 10s between “Imitadora” and “Volvemos,” with songs that debuted outside the top 10.

Meanwhile, Karol G ups her top 10 career count to 17, the fourth-most among women behind Shakira’s 33 top 10s, Gloria Estefan’s 23, and Ana Gabriel’s 20 (among all acts, Bad Bunny leads with a robust 59 top 10s.)

Elsewhere, “Volvemos” concurrently makes its way into the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart, at No. 56: a 13th career entry for Karol G and a 12th for Santos. Further, it joins both Global charts, with a No. 30 start on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 32 on the Global Excl. U.S. tally.
