Shakira’s record-extending 41st top 10s among female acts on Latin Airplay lands a week after the Colombian superstar also achieved a dual landmark on Latin Pop Airplay, where she tied Iglesias for the most No. 1s on and opened a wider gap from her female peers, with 25 career champs.

“Soltera” lands at the penthouse on Latin Airplay after registering 6.3 million audience impressions for the tracking week ending Oct. 17, according to Luminate. That sum equates to a 63% improvement in radio airplay from the previous period, which yields a Greatest Gainer award for the week.
“Soltera” also repeats at its No. 1 best on Latin Pop Airplay for a second week, after the song debuted at No. 12 on Sony Music Latin on chart dated Oct. 12.
Plus, as the female empowerment anthem flies to No. 4 on Latin Airplay, Shakira enters a tie with Iglesias for the most top 10s among Latin pop acts since the overall tally began in 1994. Here’s the recap of the acts with the most top 10s, where Shakira continues to strike as the only female presence:

“Soltera” also makes additional confident rounds across Billboard charts. It enters the top 10 on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs, rising 13-9, with gains in sales and streams. The song generated 4.3 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate, enough to yield a No. 15 high on Latin Streaming Songs. Sales, meanwhile, account for nearly 1,000 U.S. downloads, which translates to a 3-2 climb after it topped Latin Digital Song Sales for one week (Oct. 12).
Globally, “Soltera” rises 71-28 on Billboard Global 200 with 37.1 millions streams worldwide, and 48-16 on the Global Excl. U.S. tally with 33.2 million streams outside the U.S., her best ranking on the latter since the No. 8-peaking “Acróstico” in June 2023.
Shakira’s career milestones follows the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran North American leg tour announcement which will be rescheduled to spring 2025, with several markets now upgraded to stadiums.
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.

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:

Tito Double P’s 21-track effort dethrones label mate and cousin, Peso Pluma’s Éxodo from its 12-week domination, encompassing the majority of its chart run. Of the 15 weeks Peso’s fourth album album has been on the chart, it’s only missed No. 1 three times – and two of those weeks were at No. 2.
Incómodo, released on Double P Records, which Peso Pluma and George Prajin co-founded in 2023, lands at the summit on Top Latin Albums with 26,000 equivalent album units earned during the Sept. 20-26 tracking week in the U.S., according to Luminate: that’s a 2% gain from the prior week. That weekly unit sum equals to 38.8 million official U.S. streams for the songs on the album.

“Wow, I’m so honored,” the Mexican singer-songwriter told Billboard of the album’s debut. “I didn’t expect this but I’m so grateful that the fans are embracing my project like this.”
Top Latin Albums ranks the week’s most popular Latin albums by multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Each unit equals 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.
Incómodo also advances 2-1 on Regional Mexican Albums, for Tito’s first ruler there. Plus, one song from the album debuts on Latin Streaming Songs: “Escápate,” with Chino Pacas, arrives at No. 15 with 3.7 million on-demand official U.S. clicks, up 14%.
Omar Courtz Makes Billboard Album Charts Debut: Elsewhere, Puerto Rican Omar Courtz visits Top Latin Albums for the first time with Primera Musa, his maiden studio album which opens at No. 8 with 11,000 equivalent album units. Streaming contributes most of the 17-track effort’s first week sum in the U.S., equating to 15.4 million official streams.
It’s the first top 10 on an album chart for Courtz, who scored his first top 10 on a Billboard chart through the No. 7-peaking “Beachy,” with Daddy Yankee, on Latin Rhythm Airplay in July 2023.
Beyond its top 10 start on Top Latin Albums, Primera Musa also opens at No. 2 on Latin Rhythm Albums, Courtz’s highest-charting entry across all charts.

“El Primer Tonto,” originally composed and released by Mexican group Los Freddy’s in 1980, was later popularized by Joan Sebastian who secured a No. 7 high with the song on Regional Mexican Airplay in January 2002.
With its romantic cumbia turn, “El Primer Tonto,” released June 7 via VMG/Colmena/Azteca Records, takes Los Ángeles de Charly to their first No. 1 on a radio ranking thanks to a 47% surge in audience impressions, to 6.6 million, earned in the U.S. for the tracking week of Sept. 13-19, according to Luminate.
Thanks to “El Primer Tonto,” imprints VMG and Colmena secure their first No. 1 on any Billboard chart. In addition to the two imprints, the “El Primer Tonto” triumph also gives Azteca Records its second champ as a label, following La Fiera de Ojinaga’s one-week reign on Regional Mexican Airplay with “La Luna de Miel” in August 2022.
Los Ángeles de Charly’s first champ on Regional Mexican Airplay arrives 20 years after their last top 10, when “Y Qué” reached No. 10 high in May 2004. In sum, the Mexican cumbia group have logged six top 10s since 1999, with the No. 4-peaking “Un Sueño” in 2001 their highest-charting song until now.
Elsewhere, “El Primer Tonto” advances to its No. 3 peak on the overall Latin Airplay tally, where Los Ángeles de Charly earn their first top 10 to date.
The song is part of the group’s forthcoming studio album to be released in December 2024.
Pepe Aguilar rockets to No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart (dated Sept. 14) with “Mira Quién Lo Dice,” as the song flies 18-1. That’s the biggest jump to the top in 2024, earning Greatest Gainer honors, awarded weekly to the song with the largest gain in audience.

“Mira Quién Lo Dice” registered 5.8 million in audience impressions, up 104%, on U.S. monitored regional Mexican stations during the Aug. 30-Sept. 5 tracking week, according to Luminate. That audience swell arrives from Univision stations WOJO-FM (Chicago), KSCA-FM (Los Angeles) and KLNO-FM (Dallas) during the tracking period.
The new leader gives Aguilar his third champ on Regional Mexican Airplay spanning over 26 years of career entries, since the No. 2-peaking “Por Mujeres Como Tú,” earned him a first top 10 in 1998.
Prior to “Mira Quién Lo Dice,” two other songs landed at the summit. Earlier, a collab with his son Leonardo Aguilar on “Bandido de Amores” gave the San Antonio, Texas-born singer-songwriter his second No. 1 (chart dated July 6). And in 2021, “Tus Desprecios” with El Fantasma, secured Aguilar his first ruler.
Among Aguilar’s three champs, “Mira Quién” endured the longest wait to the top, a 12-week canter, four weeks longer than his previous slowest, “Bandido,” which wrapped an eight-week run to No. 1 in July.

As “Mira Quién” rallies to the summit on Regional Mexican Airplay from No. 18, it scores the biggest jump to No. 1 in 2024, and the second-biggest this decade, trailing Maná and Eden Muñoz’s 18-rank climb to No. 1 last November.
In total, “Mira Quién” is the fourth of 407 champs on the 1994-launched Regional Mexican Airplay chart to jump from No. 18 or lower directly to No. 1. Here’s the recap:

Amor Prohibido blasts in at No. 1 on Vinyl Albums scoring the Latin legend her second No. 1 on the 13-year-old tally. It follows the No. 1-peaking Ones, which spent one week in charge in 2020.
Trending on Billboard
Amor Prohibido bows with 10,000 vinyl copies sold in the U.S. during the July 5-11 tracking week, according to Luminate. Selena almost doubles her previous largest week on vinyl, notched in 2020 when Ones sold 6,000 copies in its second week on the chart (July 18, 2020-dated list). That week, a limited-edition vinyl version of the greatest hits album prompted the set’s re-entry at No. 1. It earlier debuted on the list in 2016 with 3,000 sold in its first week (Nov. 5, 2016 chart). When Ones re-entered the list at No. 1, it became the first Latin album to top Vinyl Albums since the chart launched in Jan. 2011.
The new remastered Amor Prohibido was pressed on four vinyl variants – a standard clear color edition, a Target-exclusive pink color (containing a poster), a Spotify-exclusive coke bottle clear edition, and a picture-disc variant sold via Selena’s webstore.
The new version of Amor Prohibido was also issued on CD, cassette (exclusive to Selena’s webstore) and digital download. All versions – old and new — are combined for tracking and charting purposes. All of the 2024 editions of the album retain the tracklist of the original 10-song 1994 album.
In total, Amor Prohibido marks just the fourth Latin album to reach No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart – out of the 499 total No. 1s on the list. The set stands alongside Selena’s Ones (one week, July 2020), Bad Bunny’s Anniversary Trilogy (one week, Jan. 2022) and Kali Uchis’ Orquídeas (one week, Jan. 2024). Uchis also scored another No. 1 effort on Vinyl Albums, through her English-language set, Red Moon In Venus in March 2023.
In addition to its No. 1 debut on Vinyl Albums with 10,000 copies sold, Amor Prohibido re-enters Top Album Sales, after almost three decades, at No. 4, with 11,000 sold (across all configurations, physical and digital, of the album). Plus, it climbs 47-5 on Top Latin Albums and 21-4 on Regional Mexican Albums with 13,000 equivalent album units earned during the same period, 2,000 stemming from streaming activity, which equates to 3.54 million on-demand official streams of the album’s 10 songs.
In 1994, Amor Prohibido became the first Tejano album to reach No. 1 on Top Latin Albums, spending 20 total weeks at No. 1. It was just the second set to top the still-young chart (which launched in July of 1993), after Gloria Estefan’s Mi Tierra ruled for 58 weeks between July 1993 and June 1994.
Three of the album’s songs ruled Hot Latin Songs in 1994: “Amor Prohibido” (nine weeks), “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” (four) and “No Me Queda Más” (seven weeks).
