Alejandro Fernández collects his 10th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “No Es Que Me Quiera Ir” pushes 13-1 to lead the Aug. 5-dated survey. The song follows the two-week champ “Caballero,” his first career No. 1 this decade (Feb. 2020).
“No Es Que Me Quiera Ir” conquers Latin Airplay after it gained 9.1 million in audience impressions, a 50% rise from the week prior, earned in the U.S. during the July 21-27 tracking week, according to Luminate. The song’s main supporters include Univision stations, KSCA Los Angeles and WOJO Chicago, as monitored by Mediabase, which provides Luminate data for Billboard charts.)
The ranchera, released May 19 and written by Eden Muñoz, ejects Prince Royce’s “Me EnRD” from the lead after its one term at No. 1, as the bachata dips 1-5 with 17% drop in audience impressions, to 8.4 million.
Further, “Que Me Quiera Ir” earns Universal Music Latino/UMLE its second No. 1 in 2023, after the label dominated the chart with Karol G and Shakira’s “TQG” for two weeks between May and July.
As mentioned, with “Me Quiera Ir” capturing the crown on Latin Airplay, Fernández scores his 10th ruler, the second-most among regional Mexican acts, trailing Marco Antonio Solis who continues to lead with 11 champs on his Latin Airplay account. Plus, “Que Me Quiera” becomes his first win since “Cabaellero” in 2020. In between he’s placed five top 10s, for a total of 23 top 10s since “A Pesar de Todo” reached No. 10 high in Dec. 1994.
Here’s a full recap of Fernández’s 10 leaders dating back to his first in 1997:
Peak, Title, Artist, Weeks at No. 1Oct. 18, 1997, “Si Tú Supieras,” sixDec. 27, 1997, “En El Jardín,” featuring Gloria Estefan, sixMarch 14, 1998, “No Se Olvidar,” eightJuly 18, 1998, “Yo Nací Para Amarte,” fiveAug. 21, 1999, “Loco,” oneDec. 1, 201, “Tantita Pena,” sixOct. 23, 2004, “Me Dedique A Perderte,” twoFeb. 06, 2010, “Se Me Va La Voz,” oneJan. 04, 2020, “Caballero,” twoAug. 05, 2023, “No Es Que Me Quiera Ir,” one
Notably, “Que Me Quiera Ir” marks a new milestone achievement for singer-songwriter Eden Muñoz, who captures his first No. 1 on Latin Airplay as a songwriter. Previously he scored a No. 2 high as a songwriter through Banda Carnaval’s “Esa Vez Soy Yo” (Jan. 2020).
Elsewhere, “Que Me Quiera Ir” advances 7-1 on Regional Mexican Airplay as the week’s Greatest Gainer. Fernández wins his sixth champ, the fifth-most among regional Mexican soloists.

Just nine weeks after Chayanne captured his first top 10 in over 14 years on Billboard’s Tropical Airplay chart, he is back in command – with his first No. 1 since 2008 – as “Bailando Bachata” rises 2-1 to rule the Aug. 5-dated list.

The song earns Greatest Gainer honors for the week fueled by an 18% increase in audience impressions, to 8.9 million, earned in the week ending July 27, according to Luminate.
“Honestly, I always do things because I feel them and since we started working on the album, bachata was considered,” Chayanne tells Billboard. “With the excessive amount of competition these days I wasn’t expecting it, but I am very grateful for this No. 1.”
“Bailando Bachata” is the third single from Chayanne’s forthcoming studio album (released date TBD). It follows two top 10 singles: “Te Amo y Punto” and “Como Tú y Yo” reached No. 6 and No. 7, respectively on Latin Pop Airplay in late 2022.
“Bachata” tops the list 14 years after Chayanne’s last leader, “Amor Inmortal,” dominated for five weeks in late 2008. The over 14-year window between new rulers is the longest gap by any artist since Dec. 2016, when Jennifer Lopez ended a 17-year wait between No. 1s when “Olvídame y Pega La Vuelta,” with Marc Anthony, topped the list. It was her first No. 1 since “No Me Ames,” also with Marc Anthony, in 1999.
As bachata proliferates on a global level, more artists are basking on its popularity. Notably, five of the six songs that have arrived at the summit on Tropical Airplay in 2023 belong to the genre. Here’s the recap:
Title, Artist, Peak Date, Total Weeks at No. 1“Monotonia,” Shakira & Ozuna, Jan. 7 (nine)“El Pañuelo,” Romeo Santos & Rosalia, Feb. 4 (four)“La Bachata,” Manuel Turizo, Feb. 11 (14)“Me EnRD,” Prince Royce, July 8 (four)“Bailando Bachata,” Chayanne, Aug. 5
About the genre’s craze, Chayanne feels differently: “I love both bachata as much as all tropical rhythms. All the songs on the new album are special, I always surround myself with professionals and I only record what I feel I like, that suits me and that the public may like, not necessarily because there is a trend.”
As “Bailando Bachata” takes charge of Tropical Airplay, it ejects Prince Royce’s “Me EnRD” from its four-week command with a 17% dip in audience, to 8.4 million.
Further, “Bailando Bachata” concurrently delivers extra goods for Chayanne with a 5-3 lift on the overall Latin Airplay list, matching his career-high for almost a decade, as “Humanos a Marte” landed and at an equal No. 3 high in Aug. 2014.
“In my case, inspirations go hand-in hand with rhythm and lyrics,” Chayanne adds. “I like songs that denote joy and invite to dance. This one most certainly will be included on my next tour; I want all to dance it with me.”

Fuerza Regida and Banda MS’ second team-up takes over Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart as “Mentira No Es” jumps from No. 6 to No. 1 to lead the July 29-dated list. Previously, Banda MS enlisted Fuerza Regida for “Santo Patrón,” which dips 16-39 after reaching No. 13 in June.
“Mentira No Es” rules with 7.5 million audience impressions earned in the week ending July 20, according to Luminate. That’s a 38% gain from the week prior, an increase that secures the track the week’s Greatest Gainer honor.
As the collaboration advances to the top, Banda collects its 19th No. 1, and first since “Hay Que Hacer Dinero,” featuring Eden Muñoz, led for a week in July 2022.
Fuerza Regida, meanwhile, captures its second Regional Mexican Airplay No. 1, following the three-week command of “Bebe Dame,” with Grupo Frontera, this March-April.
As “Mentira No Es” grants Banda MS its 19th ruler, the Mazatlán group breaks from a tie with both Banda El Recodo de Cruz Lizárraga and Intocable for the second-most No. 1s overall in the list’s history. Only Calibre 50, with 23 champs, claims more. Let’s look at the scoreboard.
Most Regional Mexican Airplay No. 1s:23, Calibre 5019, Banda MS de Sergio Lizarraga18, Banda El Recodo de Cruz Lizarraga18, Intocable17, La Arrolladora Banda el Limon de Rene Camacho16, Conjunto Primavera16, Los Tigres del Norte15, Christian Nodal
Elsewhere, “Mentira No Es” vaults 18-6 for a new best on the overall Latin Airplay chart, also the week’s biggest gainer there. The song becomes Banda MS’ 24th top 10 and likewise first since “Hay Que Dinero,” which hit No. 6 last July. The new top 10 is Fuerza Regida’s second, after “Bebe Dame” led for a week in March.

“Los Del Espacio” by LIT Killah, Tiago Pzk, Maria Becerra, Duki, Emilia, Rusherking, Big One and FMK rules the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart (dated July 15) for a sixth week.

Meanwhile, Becerra places two other tracks in the top 10, starting with “Corazón Vacío,” which holds at its No. 2 high for a third consecutive week, while “Adiós,” with Ráfaga, dips 5-6.
Myke Towers earns his seventh top 10 as “LaLa” rallies up the chart from No. 12 to No. 3. It’s the Puerto Rican’s highest ranking since “Pareja del Año,” with Sebastián Yatra, peaked at No. 2 in May 2021.
The week’s Hot Shot Debut goes to “Atorrante,” the collab by Argentinians Emanero, Ulises Bueno and Migrantes, at No. 34.

Rauw Alejandro’s Playa Saturno album blasts in at No. 4 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart (dated July 22), his sixth straight top 10 which encompasses all of his charting efforts.
Playa Saturno, the Puerto Rican’s fourth-studio album, is the follow-up to his retro-futuristic No. 2-peaking Saturno, released in Nov. 2022; Saturno holds solidly on the tally at No. 15 in its 35th week.
Playa dropped via Duars/Sony Music Latin on July 7, the first day of the chart’s tracking week. According to Luminate, it launches with a little over 21,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. during its first week of activity ending July 13.
As with Rauw’s preceding three studio efforts, streaming fuels nearly all the set’s opening sum. The 21,000 streaming-equivalent album units equals to 27.5 million official on-demand clicks for the songs on the album, while the remaining balance is a negligible sum comprising album sales and track-equivalent album units.
Playa’s 27.5 million official on-demand streams improves on Rauw’s streaming performance as Saturno registered 25.6 million official streams in its first week. Among his chart entrances, including the No. 6-peaking Track Cake, Vol. 2 EP, the two-week album champ Vice Versa, continues to lead with 29.1 million U.S. clicks during its debut week (July 2021).
As mentioned, Rauw collects his sixth straight top 10 album, dating back to his maiden visit, Concierto Virtual En Tiempos de Covid-19, which reached No. 10 in Sept. 2020.
Further, Rauw’s four studio albums simultaneously rank in the top 30 on Top Latin Albums (Playa at No. 4, Saturno at No. 15, Vice Versa at No. 19, and Afrodisiáco at No. 29), the second-most among Latin rhythm artists after Bad Bunny, who’s placed as many as six top 30 albums throughout different chart weeks.
Playa’s entrance extends to the airplay, digital sales, and streaming data-fused Hot Latin Songs chart, where three songs from the album debut: “Picardía,” with Junior H, at No. 42; “Cuando Baje El Sol” at No. 45; and “Al Callao’” at No. 48. Plus, the album was preceded by one track: “Baby Hello,” with Bizarrap, which rises to its No. 32 high on the current tally.
Beyond its top five launch on Top Latin Albums, Playa Saturno also makes its way to two other albums charts: a No. 3 bow on Latin Rhythm Albums, and No. 29 start on the all-genres Billboard 200.
The all-star team comprising LIT Killah, Tiago Pzk, Maria Becerra, Duki, Emilia, Rusherking, Big One and FMK rule the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart as “Los Del Espacio” holds steady for a third week on the June 24-dated ranking.

Prince Royce collects his 33rd top 10 on Billboard’s Tropical Airplay Chart as “Me EnRD” debuts at No. 9 on the May 6-dated survey. The song was released via Smiling Prince/Sony Music Latin on April 20, the same date the Dominican artist premiered it live at the eighth annual Latin American Music Awards in Las Vegas.
“Me EnRD” bows at No. 9 with 3.33 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. during its first tracking week ending April 27, according to Luminate. The romantic bachata is just the second song to start in the upper tier so far in 2023, after Marshmello and Manuelle Turizo’s “El Merengue” launched at No. 4 on the list dated March 18.
Among 36 career entries, “Me EnRD” gives Royce his 33rd top 10 on Tropical Airplay, and his fifth to debut in the region. At its No. 9 start, it’s his best debut since the 11-week champ “Déjà Vu,” with Shakira, launched at No. 2 in March 2017.
Royce’s 33 top 10s rank fifth on the all-time list, tied with Elvis Crespo, where Victor Manuelle still leads with 64 top 10s since the chart’s inception in 1994. Here’s the leaderboard:
64, Victor Manuelle55, Marc Anthony37, Gilberto Santa Rosa34, Daddy Yankee33, Elvis Crespo33, Prince Royce31, Jerry Rivera28, Olga Tanon28, Romeo Santos

Beyond its top 10 debut on Tropical Airplay, “Me EnRD” bows at No. 30 on the all-genre Latin Airplay tally, where singer-songwriter claims his 41st entry.
Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma continue their Billboard charts takeover as “Ella Baila Sola” debuts at No. 7 on the Regional Mexican Airplay ranking (dated May 6). The new airplay top 10 lands as the song extends its No. 1 domination for a fourth week on Hot Latin Songs.
“Ella Baila Sola,” written by Eslabon Armado’s lead singer Pedro Tovar, was released March 17 via DEL/Prajin Parlay. It’s the first single from the sad sierreño group’s album Desvelado, which dropped April 27.
The viral hit debuts in the top 10 on Regional Mexican Airplay with 4.5 million in audience impressions earned in the U.S. in the week ending April 27, according to Luminate. As “Ella Baila” bows at No. 7, it becomes Eslabon Armado’s highest start on the chart among three total entries, all top 10s. The Mexican American group placed a No. 1 through the Ulices Chaidez’ collab “Te Encontré” in June 2021. Prior, the No. 3-peaking “Con Tus Besos” earned the quartet its first top 10 in Sept. 2020.
As “Ella” arrives in the upper region, Peso Pluma captures his first top 10 on his first chart appearance. He joins six other artists who have earned a first top 10 with their maiden entries in 2023. Here’s a recap:
Artist, Title, Collaborator, Peak Date, Peak PositionGrupo Quintanna, “El Final de Nuestra Historia,” with Raymix, March 4, No. 7Grupo Marca Registrada, “Di Que Sí,” with Grupo Frontera, April 29, No. 1Mario Domm, “Un Chingo de Tequila,” with Banda MS, May 6, No. 5Cazzu, “Tú y Tú,” with Los Ángeles Azules & Santa Fe Klan, May 6, No. 3Santa Fe Klan, “Tú y Tú,” with Los Ángeles Azules & Cazzu, May 6, No. 3Kurt, “Prometo,” with Banda Los Sebastianes de Saul Plata, May 6, No. 10
Notably, among the 38 tracks that have ranked in the top 10 on Regional Mexican Airplay so far in 2023, “Ella” becomes the first track to debut in the top 10.
Further, “Ella” also makes its first Latin Airplay appearance, at No. 20, the highest start for both Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma there.
Becky G and Peso Pluma add a new top 10 to their Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart count, as “Chanel” powers from No. 15 to No. 9 on the ranking dated May 6. As the pair’s first partnership advances to the upper region, Peso Pluma places seven simultaneous songs in the top 10 (and 15 across the chart), the most ever for a regional Mexican act. The septenary includes “Ella Baila Sola,” with Eslabon Armado, in its fourth consecutive week in charge.
“Chanel” advances with gains in all metrics that contribute to Hot Latin Songs: streams, sales and airplay. It registered 10.2 million official U.S. streams during the April 21-27 tracking week, according to Luminate. That sum yields a No. 42 debut on the overall Streaming Songs chart and top 10 flight on Latin Streaming Songs, where it pushes 14-10 in its second week, with a 33% increase.
Sales rose 49%, to 1,000, in the same period. That drives “Chanel” 14-6 on Latin Digital Song Sales, jumping 14-6. The song also makes progress on the radio front, up 386% to 1 million audience impressions.
Becky G adds her sixth Hot Latin Songs top 10, and her first in the region since last year’s “Mamiii,” with Karol G, became her first No. 1, having dominated for 10 weeks.
Meanwhile, 23-year-old Peso Pluma notches his seventh Hot Latin Songs top 10 – with all simultaneously in the tier. The feat is historic, as he’s the first regional Mexican artist with as many as seven top 10s in a single frame. Only one other act has charted as many or more top 10 titles together: Bad Bunny grouped between seven and nine songs in the top 10 in 27 distinct weeks in 2020-22.
Prior to Peso Pluma, among core regional Mexican acts Joan Sebastian logged the most concurrent Hot Latin Songs top 10s: four on the Aug. 1, 2015 chart.
Here’s the list of Peso Pluma’s 15 entries on Hot Latin Songs this week:
Ranking, Title, Additional Artist(s)No. 1 “Ella Baila Sola,” with Eslabon ArmadoNo. 3, “La Bebe,” with Yng LvcasNo. 4, “Por Las Noches”No. 5, “PRC,” with Natanael CanoNo. 6, “AMG,” with Gabito Ballesteros & Natanael CanoNo. 9, “Chanel,” with Becky GNo. 10, “El Azul,” with Junior HNo. 16, “Igualito a Mi Apa,” with Fuerza RegidaNo. 23, “Las Morras,” with BlessdNo. 24, “Rosas Pastel,” with Jasiel NuñezNo. 25, “El Tsurito,” with Junior H & Gabito BallesterosNo. 33, “Ando Enfocado,” with Codiciado & Jaziel AvilezNo. 34, “El Belicón,” with Raúl VegaNo. 35, “El Gavilán,” with Luis R Conriquez & Tony AguirreNo. 42, “El Hechizo,” with Ovy on the Drums
Peso Pluma becomes the fifth act with as many as 15 Hot Latin Songs hits in a single week. Bad Bunny boasts 40 such frames, led by a one-week record 24 entries on the May 21, 2022, tally (as his Un Verano Sin Ti made its initial splash on album charts), while Anuel AA, Karol G and Ozuna have also achieved the feat.
Elsewhere, “Chanel” rallies up the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, from No. 88 to No. 56. On the worldwide front, it escalates 85-49 on the Billboard Global 200 and 117-72 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. list.
Meanwhile, Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma’s “Ella Baila Sola” rises to No. 4 on the Hot 100, marking another new high among regional Mexican songs over the chart’s history.
