“Achieving a No. 1 on U.S. radio with a song like ‘La Misión’ is a double triumph for us: collaborating with Wisin was already a dream fulfilled,” Juan David Huertas, better known as El Profe, tells Billboard.

“La Misión” takes the podium with 4.2 million audience impressions, up 10%, logged in the week ending Aug. 8, according to Luminate. Puerto Rico’s Univision station WKAQ-FM takes the lead among the song’s biggest supporters during the tracking week, while New York’s SBS WSKQ, comes in second.
As “La Misión” lands at the summit on Latin Pop Airplay, Piso 21 achieves its first No. 1 on the tally, and first ruler overall since “Déjala Que Vuelva,” featuring Manuel Turizo, crowned Tropical Airplay for two weeks in March 2022.
“Since ‘Déjala Que Vuelva’ in 2018, we hadn’t reached these heights, and we’re thrilled to be back at the top,” Pablo Mejía, aka, Pablito tells Billboard. “All good things take time, and this is proof once again.”

Back on Latin Pop Airplay, the Colombians previously secured three other top 10s from 13 total chart appearances, the highest being “Más De La Una” with Maluma for a No. 3 high in 2021.
“We’ve spent many years evolving Piso 21’s sound while staying true to its essence and soul,” David Escobar, who goes by Dim, adds. “‘La Misión’ is a testament to that effort.”
In addition to Piso 21, “La Misión’s” success also secures a Latin Pop Airplay achievement for Wisin, who despite being a reggaetón artist, has become a staple in the ranking with 36 total appearances. Among those, six reached No. 1. The Puerto Rican was last in charge through another Colombian partnership, as “Buenos Días” with Camilo ruled for one week in 2022.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported us in this endeavor; we couldn’t have done it without you,” adds Piso 21’s David Lorduy, known as just Lorduy.
Elsewhere, “La Misión” gains territory on the overall Latin Airplay chart, entering the top 20 for the first time, at No. 16. It’s the highest ranking for both acts in over two years.

Thank you. Pues-
Thank you for having us.
It’s awesome to have you in in New York. You know, I’m also from SoCal, so San Bernardino represent aquí.
I’ve only seen you in Cali.
You’ve only seen me in Cali, and I am from Cali, and I always go back in holidays. But, you know, that’s why I-
Only holidays?
Pues, I know I should go more often.
Yeah, you gotta go more.
Pero hey, yo, let’s talk about your new album, ‘PERO NO TE ENAMORES,’ honestly, dope. I am amazed at the sonic transitions that you’ve done. Pero antes de hablar about the new sounds, let’s talk about the title, ‘PERO NO TE ENAMORES.’
That’s just the vibe right now, I’ve said in a couple interviews already, it’s just a little bit of everything. If you think about the name ‘PERO NO TE ENAMORES,’ that’s what it is.
Okay, okay.
Like in general,
Okay, okay.
All around.
Yeah, that’s the vibe right now. I was also pretty, like, taken aback about, like, how you were able to fuse these two styles, you know, Jersey Club and corridos. You coined Jersey Corridos. How did that mix come together first of all?
Before I answer your question, let me ask you a question. If you’ve been here for 10 years, do you like Jersey?

After a two-week break for the Paris Summer Olympics, America’s Got Talent returned on Aug. 13 with the first of four live quarterfinal rounds.
Eleven acts took the stage, but it was Peoria, IL, native Liv Warfield who stole the show with her powerful rendition of “The Unexpected,” a song written for her by Prince.
Warfield, who had already made waves with her Golden Buzzer-winning audition, brought an emotional intensity to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium that left the judges in awe.

Backed by her horn-laden band, she delivered a performance that Simon Cowell described as “unbelievable.” “If this was the Olympics for singing, you would have won the gold medal,” Cowell said. “It felt to me like all those years you’ve been climbing the ladder to where you want to be, it all came out in those three minutes.”
Trending on Billboard
Sofia Vergara was equally impressed, calling Warfield’s performance “Perfection,” and adding, “Your outfit, your voice, the song—it’s amazing to have an artist like you here with us.”
Howie Mandel, a self-proclaimed Prince fan, offered his own high praise. “I’m a huge Prince fan, and he knew what he was doing when he gave you this gem. That was a million-dollar performance. America is crazy if they don’t vote for you, that’s your drop-the-mic moment.”
Warfield’s connection to Prince is both deep and personal. As a former member of his New Power Generation, she was mentored by the legendary artist, who not only shaped her career but also wrote “The Unexpected” specifically for her.
In a heartfelt pre-performance interview, Warfield reflected on her journey: “I’ve been grinding for a long time. Backing up Prince was a dream. But I still haven’t reached the heights I know I can reach. The golden buzzer … when I got home I cried in the car … I cried hard. I didn’t think this would be happening. I’m just everyday people.”
The audience’s response was immediate, with fans taking to social media to voice their support. One commenter noted, “Liv is one of the most talented people that AGT introduced to me,” while another added, “The fact she shared a stage with Prince and sang a song he wrote for her—that alone is amazing. You got my vote.”
As the live rounds continue, Warfield stands out as a top contender, with many eagerly awaiting her next performance.
In addition to her success on AGT, Warfield has made notable achievements on the Billboard charts. Her album The Unexpected reached No. 3 on the Top R&B Albums chart in 2014, and her single “Stay – ‘Soul Lifted’” made an impact on Adult R&B Airplay.

So I’m happy to have you guys back. You got a new album out, new song, all titled “Walk.” So let’s talk about the song first, and how great it’s been to see the fans react in such a big way.
It’s our sixth album, our sixth full-length album, and I think our fans are really, really liking it like we are. It’s been a while since we made a comeback in the summer, think the choreography really enhanced the charms of the song as well, seeing us perform “Walk,” and just hearing the song walk both ways, it’s really it’s bringing some good responses from the fans. So thank you very, very much.
Yeah, I mean, I was talking to some fans at KCON, and I asked them, like, if you could listen to one, NCT 127, song, what would it be? They said, “Walk.” They’re so excited about it.
The energy was crazy.
And tell me a little bit about the music video and creating it. You said, the choreography. I mean, you guys keep topping yourselves. So talk about filming the music video and what that process was like?
We usually have like individual scenes where we, like all have our own role. But this time it was like more with a, like a crew kind of vibe. So we mostly filmed it like all together, like everyone was on one screen throughout the whole music video. So it was like the new part of this one.

Discussing the impact of his daughter, whose name he has kept private, Post shared, “I’ve written a whole lot of songs [about her].” The proud father reflected on how becoming a dad “changes your life in the best way ever.”
He also took a moment to acknowledge the mother of his child, saying, “the most beautiful thing is, she has a beautiful mom.”

In the candid conversation, Posty credited both his daughter and her mother for saving his life during a dark period.
“Four years ago, I was on a rough path,” he admitted. “It was terrible… Getting up, having a good cry, drinking, and then going on living your life, and then whenever you go lay down, drinking some more and having a good cry.”
Now, with those difficult days behind him, Post expressed gratitude for the journey, noting, “I don’t feel like that anymore, and it’s the most amazing thing.”

The interview comes as Post gears up to release his latest album, F-1 Trillion, set to drop on Aug. 16. The album marks a new direction for the artist, with a distinct country influence, featuring collaborations with country icons like Chris Stapleton and Dolly Parton.
On July 26, Malone released “Guy for That” with Luke Combs, which was preceded by “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen (the track reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100), and “Pour Me a Drink” with Blake Shelton.
Fans can also look forward to the music video for “Guy for That,” a project Post touched on during his interview.
With fatherhood at the forefront of his life and music, Post Malone’s latest chapter seems to be one filled with newfound clarity and purpose.
Malone has continued to make moves on the Billboard charts. His previous album, Twelve Carat Toothache, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, featuring hit singles like “One Right Now” with The Weeknd, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.
