Karol G’s smash “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” claims a 20th week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart (dated Dec. 7).
With the new week in charge, “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” ties with four other songs for the second-most weeks at No. 1 since the chart launched in 1994. The song now ties Son By Four’s “A Puro Dolor” (2000), Juanes’ “Me Enamora” (2007-2008), Flex’s “Te Quiero” (2008), and “Bailando” by Enrique Iglesias, featuring Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona (2014). Ahead of them is Shakira’s “La Tortura,” featuring Alejandro Sanz, with 25 weeks at No. 1 in 2005.
“Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” rules Latin Airplay in its 20th week with 15.5 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. during the Nov. 22-28 tracking week, according to Luminate. That’s a 23% gain from the week prior. The song takes the Greatest Gainer honors, awarded weekly to the title with the largest increase in audience.
Earlier in 2024, Karol G became the first artist to rule the Hot Latin Songs, Latin Airplay and Tropical Airplay charts simultaneously since 2014, when “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” landed at the summit on the multi-metric tally, the overall radio list, and the Tropical Airplay tally (July 29-dated charts).

Previously, the most weeks atop the list for a song by a female artist unaccompanied by another act was Pilar Montenegro’s “Quítame Ese Hombre” (13 weeks in 2002).
Elsewhere, “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” adds a 21st week at No. 1 on Tropical Airplay, the third-longest leading song, after Prince Royce’s “Carita de Inocente” which continues to dominate with 29 weeks on top, and Daddy Yankee and Marc Anthony’s “De Vuelta Pa’ La Vuelta” with 22 weeks in charge.
Chris Brown bags a milestone 20th No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart with “Residuals.” The single crowns the list dated Dec. 7 and was the most-played song on U.S. monitored mainstream R&B/hip-hop radio stations in the tracking week of Nov. 22 – 28, according to Luminate.
“Residuals” ascends from the runner-up spot after a 4% gain in weekly plays. As the track rises, it knocks GloRilla’s “TGIF” to No. 2 after the latter completed a 10-week nonconsecutive reign, including the last nine straight frames. The new champ is Brown’s second chart-topper on the radio ranking in 2024, after “Sensational,” featuring Davido and Lojay, ruled for one week in March.
