Royce and Ballesteros’ first team-up gives the regional Mexican soloist his maiden No. 1 on Latin Airplay.

“Cosas” is a cause for celebration for Ballesteros, who joins a select group of regional Mexican artists who likewise achieved their premiere No. 1 on Latin Airplay in 2024 among the seven rulers this year including a regional Mexican act (whether through a regional Mexican song or a collab outside the genre). Those new highfliers comprise Xavi, whose “La Diabla” led for two weeks (starting the Feb. 10-dated list) and siblings Leonardo and Angela Aguilar through their Becky G collab, “Por El Contrario,” for one week atop (March 9).
Prince Royce moves ahead with 17 No. 1s on Latin Airplay and breaks from a tie with Carlos Vives for the second-most champs among tropical artists in the survey’s almost 30-year history, where Romeo Santos continues at the lead with 21 No. 1 hits. Here are those chart toppers:

“Perro Negro” earns the gold medal for its first week and joins 13 other songs that hit No. 1 in 2024. Notably, only three out of those rulers secured two weeks or more atop (including Maluma and Carin León’s “Según Quién” which ruled for four weeks between 2023-24) while the other 10 rulers passed on the crown after only one week in charge. Here’s the updated look at those 2024 champs:

Benito’s Latin Airplay chart run began with the No. 1-peaking “Mayores,” with Becky G, on the Feb. 17, 2018-dated survey. He’s placed at least two No. 1s every year since then, for a total of 25 career rulers out of 47 entries on the ranking. Bad Bunny has the fifth-most No. 1s on Latin Airplay, with J Balvin in the lead with 36 leaders.
Notably, Bad Bunny boasts his longest-leading No. 1s on Latin Airplay through two collabs with acts outside of his core Latin rhythm genre: “Mia,” featuring rapper Drake, and “Un X100to,” with regional Mexican Grupo Frontera, both for six weeks in charge in 2018-19 and 2023, respectively.
Feid, meanwhile, boasts his sixth No. 1 on the radio ranking.
Elsewhere, “Perro Negro” rebounds 6-5 on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs, which combines airplay, streams, and downloads, following two weeks at its No. 2 high beginning last November. The song dips 10-11 on Latin Streaming Songs despite a 1% gain in streaming, to 4.8 million during the tracking period.
Chileans FloyyMenor and Cris Mj achieve a significant breakthrough as “Gata Only,” their first collab, earns both artists their maiden No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart (dated April 20).

“Super happy with this achievement,” 18-year-old FloyyMenor tells Billboard. “I’m grateful to the people who have supported me since my beginnings. It was difficult for me to get where I am, but we’ve reached one of the goals I had.”
“Gata Only” pushes to No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs, which combines radio airplay, streaming and sales, assisted by a robust streaming activity during the April 5-11 tracking week. According to Luminate, the reggaetón tune, released Feb. 2 via FloyyMenor/UnitedMasters, registered 11.11 million official U.S. streams, that’s a 33% gain from the previous week.
Trending on Billboard
“Gata Only” is the first entry for FloyyMenor on Hot Latin Songs, and the third for Cris Mj. For the latter, it’s also his first top 10-charting hit.
That streaming sum yields a No. 34 debut on the overall Streaming Songs chart, a premiere visit for both artists, plus a second week atop the Latin Streaming Songs chart with the Greatest Gainer honors of the week.
First No. 1 on First Try: “Gata Only” becomes the 413th No. 1 in the Hot Latin Songs’ 38-year history. The list boasts 47 artists, including FloyyMenor, who have secured their first No. 1 on their first chart visit, dating back to Kaoma’s “Lambada” which dominated for seven weeks in 1990. Notably, FloyyMenors joins two other acts who have achieved the feat this decade: The Weeknd, through his Maluma collab, “Hawai,” which ruled for nine weeks in 2020, and Yahritza y Su Esencia’s “Soy El Único” for one week in charge in 2022.

TikTok Activity: Steady viral support on TikTok has also raised awareness of the song, concurrent with its rise to No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs. The track has generated over 3 million user videos to date on TikTok. Activity on TikTok is not included on the Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50, where the song rises 10-7 on the current chart. While TikTok is not part of the chart, the popularity of the song on the platform has helped increase activity of the track on those platforms that contribute to the ranking (such as traditional streaming services like Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube, as well as radio airplay).
Global Presence: In the global realm, “Gata Only” reaches new heights. On the all-genre Billboard Global 200, it climbs 15-10, supported largely by 59.5 million streams (up 31%) accumulated worldwide in the tracking week. It’s the first top 10 for both acts. Plus, Cris Mj bests his No. 29-peaking “Una Noche En Medellín” (April 2022).
“Just as my colleague Cris Mj, I am super happy because we were able to take ‘Gata Only’ to a global level, raise our country Chile’s name and break records,” FloyyMenor adds. “Thank you to all the people who are listening to the song and dropping their videos on socials!”
Meanwhile, “Gata” advances 9-6 on Global Excl. U.S. chart with 48.4 million streams outside the U.S.
Back in the U.S., while “Gata Only” grants both Chilean artists their first No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs, Christopher Andrés Álvarez García, better known as Cris Mj, came close to the top 10 when the remix of “Una Noche En Medellín” (Remix), with Karol G and Ryan Castro, reached No. 12 high in Aug. 2023. Cris Mj also charted with the original version of “Una Noche En Medellín,” peaking at No. 24 in 2022.
Further, “Gata Only” makes substantial progress on the Billboard Hot 100, where it enters the top 50, rallying 74-48 in its fourth week. Plus, it re-enters Latin Digital Song Sales at No. 4 following its No. 14 debut (April 6-dated list).
“La Cumbia Triste” is a cause for celebration for Los Ángeles Azules and Alejandro Fernández, who each bank a new No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart, as their first collaboration ascends 3-1 to rule the April 13-dated list.

Notably, with the new ruler, the Colombian becomes the first woman with a No. 1 in four different decades on Top Latin Albums. Only one other artist has achieved the feat: Alejandro Fernández, who scored an equal seven No. 1 albums during the 1990s (one), 2000s (one), ’10s (four) and the ’20s (one).
Here’s a recap of Shakira’s chart-toppers on Top Latin Albums since her first, Donde Están Los Ladrones? landed at the summit in Nov. 1998:

‘Puntería’s’ Marksmanship Blasts Shakira To Different Orbit Across Songs Charts: On the songs realm, Las Mujeres parades three new cuts on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart: “Puntería,” with Cardi B, leads the new recruits, launching at No. 3 –Shakira’s highest debut since “TQG,” with Karol G, debuted at No. 1 on the chart-dated March 11, 2023. The chart ranks the most popular Latin songs of the week by blending streaming, airplay, and sales data.
“Puntería” opens at No. 3 on Hot Latin Songs mainly on the strength of streaming data and strong radio support. The album’s eighth single logged 6.6 million official U.S. streams during the same tracking week, enough to shoot the collab to a No. 6 start on Latin Streaming Songs.
“Puntería” also sold 3,000 digital downloads in the same period, sparking a No. 1 start on Latin Digital Song Sales and a No. 10 start on the overall Digital Song Sales survey.

It’s the first time either act has debuted atop the list. The new achievement earns Shakira her maiden debut at the summit since 1996, when “Estoy Aquí” ruled for four weeks.
In sum, 24 of her songs have led the Latin pop ranking, the most for any woman since the chart’s inception in 1994, where Enrique Iglesias continues to rule with 25 No. 1s.
