“Vas a Querer Volver,” which entered the top 10 in its eighth chart week, at No. 8, ascends from the runner-up slot with a 3% increase in audience impressions, to 6.9 million, earned in the U.S. during the Dec. 22-28 tracking week, according to Luminate. The song ejects Grupo Frontera and Junior H’s “En Altavoz” from the lead and sends it to No. 9 with a 33% decrease, to 4.9 million impressions.
As “Volver” takes the lead on Regional Mexican Airplay, UMLE claims the chart’s top four titles – a feat the company has achieved many times over the past decade. On the chart dated Jan. 6, UMLE has “Volver” at No. 1 (released via El Recodo/Fonovisa/UMLE), Julión Álvarez y Su Norteño Banda’s “Buscándole a La Suerte” at No. 2 (released via Fonovisa/UMLE), La Fiera de Ojinaga’s “La Neta Que No” at No. 3 and La Maquinaria Norteña’s “Perro Amor” at No. 4, both via Azteca/Fonovisa/UMLE.
UMLE last claimed the top four in 2022, when it held the Nos. 1-4 slots for four straight weeks on the April 2-23-dated lists. UMLE is the only label to have monopolized the top four on the chart in the last 10 years.
With “Volver” Los Recoditos score their eighth champ, dating back to “Ando Bien Pedo,” their longest-charting ruler, with 12 weeks atop in 2010. Here’s a review of the groups’ collections of No. 1s on the radio chart:

Elsewhere, “Volver” repeats Los Recoditos’ last two top 10 entries on the overall Latin Airplay chart, jumping 8-7; “Me Siento a Todo Dar” and “Fuerte No Soy” also reached No. 7 high in 2022.
“We will be closer this 2024, with dates in Mexico, U.S. and Central America, performing new music,” Gónzalez and JeyPi add. “Thanks to our listeners, platforms, media, and our loyal followers.”

“Super grateful with everyone and the whole team; we’ve been doing everything with love, giving it our all to keep pushing our music and culture to new heights,” Xavi tells Billboard.
“La Diabla” takes the lead on Hot Latin Songs as the week’s Greatest Gainer in streams and sales. The song logged 11.1 million official U.S. streams in the tracking week of Dec. 22-28, according to Luminate; that’s a 24% gain from the week prior. Plus, the sum pushes the track 4-2 on Latin Streaming Songs. Although sales still account for a negligible amount, “La Diabla” jumps 10-4 on Latin Digital Songs Sales with a 43% increase.
With “La Diabla,” Xavi earns his second top 10 on Hot Latin Songs, which blends airplay, digital sales, and streaming activity. The new champ joins “La Víctima” which advances 7-5 with 7.4 million official streams during the same tracking week. Further, the singer-songwriter also makes progress through two other tracks: “Poco a Poco,” with Dareyes De La Sierra, jumps 26-18 and “Modo DND,” with Tony Aguirre, lifts to its new No. 21 peak.
Thanks to “La Diabla,” released Nov. 30 via Interscope, the record label returns to No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs for its first champ of the year. Karol G and Peso Pluma’s “Qlona” was the label’s last leader, completing a fifth week at No. 1 on the Oct. 14-dated ranking.
On a global scale, “La Diabla” takes Xavi to his highest-charting effort on Billboard Global Excl. U.S., peaking at No. 23. While the track dips 32-33 on Billboard 200, “La Víctima” climbs 79-64.
Elsewhere, Xavi stands strong leading the Latin Songwriters chart for a fourth consecutive week, tying with Ivan Cornejo for the fifth-most weeks in charge among regional Mexican soloists. Both rank behind Peso Pluma’s 20 weeks at No. 1, Eslabon Armado’s Pedro Tovar with a 10-week domination, and DannyLux with six weeks atop.

“Labios Mordidos” is the third preview from Uchis’ fourth studio album Orquídeas, the all-Spanish-language set due Jan. 12. The Colombian now repays the favor, after “Me Tengo Que Ir” — from Karol G’s No. 1 album Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) — placed the pair at No. 19 on Hot Latin Songs last August.
“Labios Mordidos” which translates to “Bitten Lips,” arrives at No. 10 on the strength of streaming activity. The song logged 5.6 million official U.S. streams on latest tracking week of Nov. 24-30, according to Luminate. The seven-figure sum sparks a No. 9 start on the Latin Streaming Songs chart.
Further, “Labios” also begins with 500 downloads sold in the same period, enough for a No. 3 arrival on Latin Digital Song Sales.
With “Labios,” Uchis ups her career top 10 count on Hot Latin Songs to two and her first equal-billed top 10 debut. The new top 10 follows the eight-week ruler “Telepatía” (2021). The ranking blends weekly streaming, sales, and radio airplay data.
Karol, meanwhile, collects her 25th top 10, extending her second-most among women, trailing only Shakira who leads with 35 top 10s. Plus, as“Labios” debuts on the upper tier, la bichota captures her fifth all-women pair-up top 10 debut, the most by a woman in the history of Hot Latin Songs, which dates to 1986. Only one other female pair has racked up a top 10 launch without Karol G as one of the collaborators, Becky G and Natti Natasha with “Sin Pijama” in May 2018.
Here’s the full list of top 10 debuts by two co-billed women:
Debut Date, Debut Position, Title, ArtistMay 5, 2018, 10, “Sin Pijama,” Becky G & Natti NatashaNov. 23, 2019, No. 1, “Tusa,” Karol G & Nicki MinajApril 10, 2021, No. 9, “El Makinon,” Karol G & Mariah AngeliqFeb. 26, 2022, No. 1, “MAMIII,” Becky G & Karol GMarch 11, No. 1, “TQG,” Karol G & ShakiraDec. 9, No. 10, “Labios Mordidos,” Kali Uchis & Karol G
Elsewhere, “Labios” gives Uchis her second all-Spanish-language entry on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, at No. 97. For Karol, it becomes her 29th career entry – still the most for a Latin female artist with all-Spanish-language songs.

“Así Es La Vida” leads Tropical Airplay with a 14% improvement in audience impressions, to 4.8 million, earned in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 30, according to Luminate.
The song was released Sept. 28 via Sony Music Latin and lands at No. 1 on Tropical Airplay in its ninth week. It unseats Chayanne’s “Bailando Bachata” from the penthouse after 15 weeks in charge, the third-most this decade and the longest-leading song in 2023.
“Así Es La Vida” propels Iglesias back to the top spot after “Bailando,” featuring Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona, hit No. 1 in 2014. With over nine years to take over Tropical Airplay, it becomes the third-longest gap between No. 1s. Chayanne holds the second-longest span with a 15-year break between “Amor Inmortal” (2008) and “Bailando Bachata” (August 5-dated list). Jennifer Lopez continues to lead with the longest-break between champs — both Marc Anthony collaborations — with a 17-year wait between “No Me Ames” (1999) and “Olvídame y Pega La Vuelta” (2016).
Thanks to the new champ, Iglesias collects his eighth No. 1 on Tropical Airplay. Here’s his collection:
Peak, Title, Artist, Weeks at No. 1May 31, 2003, “Para Que La Vida,” oneJune 2, 2007, “Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song),” oneDec. 19, 2009, “Gracias A Ti,” with Wisin & Yandel, oneSept. 11, 2010, “Cuando Me Enamoro,” featuring Juan Luis Guerra, sixDec. 31, 2011, “Ayer,” oneMarch 22, 2014, “El Perdedor,” featuring Marco Antonio Solis, oneJuly 5, 2014, “Bailando,” featuring Descemer Bueno & Gente De Zona, fourDec. 9, 2023, “Así Es La Vida,” with Maria Becerra
For Becerra, the new achievement gives her a second No. 1 on the tropical ranking. The Argentinian earned her No. 1 in her first chart visit through another bachata, “Te Espero,” with Prince Royce, in May 2022.
Beyond its Tropical Airplay coronation, “Vida” makes progress on the overall Latin Airplay tally, pushing 24-17.

Emilia and TINI unite atop the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart as their team-up, “La_Original.Mp3,” bursts in at No. 1 on the Nov. 18-dated ranking.

“La_Original.Mp3” sends Luck Ra’s “La Morocha,” featuring BM, to No. 2 after the latter’s seven-week domination.
“La Original,” which also scores the Hot Shot Debut of the week, belongs to Emilia’s sophomore album, .Mp3.

Further, three other .Mp3 tracks debut this week. With those new recruits, Emilia boasts 10 concurrent tracks on the tally this week — seven from her new set, including a re-entry. Here’s a look at her song collection on this week’s Billboard Argentina Hot 100.

Chayanne dances his way back into the top 10 on Billboard’s Latin Pop Albums chart as Bailemos Otra Vez debuts at No. 3 on the Nov. 11-dated list. The set becomes his 15th top 10 and his first since 2014.
“It’s the greatest joy!” Chayanne tells Billboard. “I put heart, soul and all my energy into this project and it has rewarded me in the best way, which is the response from the public.”
Bailemos Otra Vez was released Oct. 27 via Sony Music Latin and launches on Latin Pop Albums with 4,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 2, according to Luminate.
Of the 4,000-unit sum, 3,000 derive from album sales. Streaming activity contributes to 1,000 units, which equals to 1.43 million official on-demand audio and video streams for the album’s songs in its first week, while a negligible amount of activity comes from track-equivalent units. On Latin Pop Albums, one unit equals to one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.
With Bailemos Otra Vez, Chayanne logs his 15th top 10 — and 12th consecutive — dating back to his self-titled 1989 album, the No. 3-peaking Chayanne. In fact, the Puerto Rican tracks a multi-decade streak of albums that reached the top 10 since the ’80s, a feat achieved by only one other artist, Rocio Durcal, who has placed top 10s in the ‘80s, ‘90s, ’00, ‘10s and ‘20s.
Here’s a review of Chayanne’s collection of top 10s on Latin Pop Albums spanning five decades:
Peak Date, Title, Peak Position, Weeks At No. 1Aug. 12, 1989, Chayanne, No. 3June 1, 1991, Tiempo De Vals, No. 2April 17, 1993, Provócame, No. 3March 4, 1995, Influencias, No. 12Nov. 9, 1996, Volver A Nacer, No. 15Jan. 9, 1999, Atado A Tu Amor, No. 3Dec. 16, 2000, Simplemente, No. 3April 13, 2002, Grandes Éxitos, No. 1, 10Sept. 13, 2003, Sincero, No. 1, oneApril 16, 2005, Desde Siempre, No. 2Oct. 15, 2005, Cautivo, No. 1, oneApril 28, 2007, Mi Tiempo, No. 2Nov. 15, 2008, Vivo, No. 5March 13, 2010, No Hay Imposible, No. 1, sevenFeb. 25, 2012, Solas Con Chayanne, No. 2Sept. 13, 2014, En Todo Estaré, No. 1, oneNov. 11, 2023, Bailemos Otra Vez, No. 3
Beyond his Latin Pop Albums top 10 debut, Bailemos opens at No. 35 on Top Latin Albums, his first chart appearance since the No. 1-peaking En Todo Estaré en 2014.
Bailemos was preceded by two songs: “Te Amo y Punto,” which reached No. 6 high on Latin Pop Airplay in 2022, and “Bailando Bachata” which holds strong at No. 1 on Tropical Airplay for a 13th week. The latter ties with Marshmello and Manuel Turizo’s “El Merengue” for the most weeks at the lead there in 2023.
“I’ve always liked to have music and rhythms for all tastes,” Chayanne adds. “From this one, I love bachata. I have the tropical in my DNA, and with this album I wanted to wink at Mexico, a country that has always given me so much love and support, so I have a lot of faith in “Necesito Un Segundo.”
Drake is back on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart after four years as the Spanglish tune “Gently,” featuring Bad Bunny, debuts at No. 1 on the Oct. 21-dated ranking.

“Gently” is one of 23 tracks on the Canadian rapper’s For All The Dogs album, which debuts at No. 1 on the overall Billboard 200 list — his 13th leader there. The dembow track’s No. 1 start is fueled largely by streaming activity, with some digital sales, a normal pattern for both acts’ catalogs. Hot Latin Songs combines streaming, sales data, and radio airplay into its rankings.
“Gently” launches with 24.3 million streams in the U.S. during the Oct. 6-12 tracking week, according to Luminate. That sum bursts into a No. 9 start on the overall Streaming Songs chart and a No. 1 on Latin Streaming Songs.
Sales, too, propel the song to a strong bow: “Gently” nearly generated 2,000 downloads in the U.S., for a No. 1 start on Latin Digital Song Sales.
With “Gently,” Drake nabs his third champ (and third through a collaboration with a Latin artist) among three total entries on the multi-metric survey. His also ruled as a featured artist on Romeo Santos’ “Odio” for 13 weeks in 2014. Meanwhile, as mentioned, Bad Bunny’s “MIA,” (also featuring the Canadian superstar) took charge for 16 weeks, starting with the Oct. 27, 2018-dated list.
Bad Bunny, meanwhile, collects his 13th No. 1, tying Shakira for the fourth-most rulers on the list. Since Hot Latin Songs launched in 1986, Enrique Iglesias continues to have the most No. 1s, with 27. Here’s the review of leaders:
27, Enrique Iglesias16, Luis Miguel15, Gloria Estefan13, Shakira13, Bad Bunny11, Marco Antonio Solis11, Ricky Martin
Beyond its No. 1 debut on Hot Latin Songs, “Gently” makes its way across multiple Billboard charts: It debuts at No. 12 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, No. 10 on the Billboard Global 200 (largely powered by 44 million worldwide streams), and No. 20 on the Global Excl. U.S. list (mostly driven by 21 million clicks outside the U.S.)
