Manuel Turizo secures his fifth No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “La Bachata” advances from No. 4 to lead the Oct. 29-dated ranking. The track concurrently notches a sixth week at No. 1 on Tropical Airplay.
“La Bachata,” released on La Industria/Sony Music Latin, tallied 10.7 million in audience impressions, up 29%, earned in the U.S. in the Oct.17-23 tracking week, according to Luminate.
The song, written by Turizo, Edgar Barrera, Andrés Jael Correa, Juan Diego Medina and Miguel Andrés Martinez, is the first single from Turizo’s forthcoming album 2000 (release date TBD).
The new leader is the fifth champ for Turizo among 24 Latin Airplay chart entries. The Colombian’s first No. 1, “Vaina Loca” with Ozuna, dominated for two weeks in 2018. “La Bachata” is also Turizo’s second chart-topper as a soloist, unaccompanied by any other act.
Let’s look at his leaderboard:
Peak Date, Title, Artist (if other than Turizo)Oct. 6, 2018, “Vaina Loca,” with OzunaMarch 9, 2019, “Sola”July 4, 2020, “TBT,” with Sebastian Yatra & Rauw AlejandroJan. 23, 2021, “La Nota,” with Manuel Turizo & Myke TowersOct. 29, 2022, “La Bachata”
Elsewhere, the Latin Airplay coronation helps “La Bachata” improve its standing on the multimetric Hot Latin Songs chart. There, the song lifts 8-6, the closest to the top Turizo has ranked since the No. 5 high of “La Nota” in 2021. Plus, “La Bachata” gain 1% in streams, to 5.1 million, while it dips 5% in downloads sold, earned in the week ending Oct. 20.
Further, “La Bachata” holds at No. 1 for a sixth consecutive week on Tropical Airplay (and counting), five weeks after it ascended to the summit. It becomes the third-longest-leading title in 2022, trailing Romeo Santos’s “Sus Huellas” which ruled for 10 weeks and Don Omar and Nio Garciá’s 8-week ruler, “Se Mena.”
On April 28, Grupo Frontera unleashed a norteño version of “No Se Va,” a track that was originally recorded by Colombian pop group Morat in 2019 as part of their Balas Perdidas album.

The new version quickly converted the McAllen, Texas-based group into a viral sensation, especially on TikTok, earning them their first entry on a Billboard chart with the No. 12 debut on the Regional Mexican Digital Song Sales survey (dated Sept. 3). “No Se Va” later entered the Billboard Hot 100 the first week of October, becoming only the fifth regional Mexican song to enter the all-genre chart since its inception in 1958.
Whether you’re a fan of the original pop track or the norteño version, “No Se Va” tells the story of unforgettable love. See the complete lyrics translated into English below.
It’s so easy to fall in loveAnd so hard to forget youBecause you promised me a lifetimeAnd now that I look for youYou’re not hereAnd even if it hurts to see your photoI’m training my broken heartJust in case I find you tomorrow
I can’t fake it anymoreI call you and I can’t speakYour memory doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave, doesn’t leaveSomething in you wants to returnAnd something in me will find youYour memory doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave
Stay here againStay all night long Stay here again Stay past midnight
Stay here again because my heart doesn’t forgetA love like yours can’t be forgottenIt doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave
Stay here againStay here foreverStay here againYou’re my lost bullet
Stay here again because my heart doesn’t forgetA love like yours can’t be forgottenIt doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave
Lose my eyes when you dance Feel a thousand kisses in the airWas enough to convince me that if you leave
I’ll look for you even if it sounds crazyFrom Bogota to Buenos AiresHow can I explain to you that I can’t forget
I can’t fake it anymoreI call you and I can’t speakYour memory doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave, doesn’t leaveSomething in you wants to returnAnd something in me will find youYour memory doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave
Stay here againStay all night long Stay here again Stay past midnight
Stay here again because my heart doesn’t forgetA love like yours can’t be forgottenAnd it doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave
Stay here againStay here foreverStay here againYou’re my lost bullet
Stay here again because my heart doesn’t forgetA love like yours can’t be forgottenAnd it doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave, doesn’t leave
Colombian power couple Greeicy and Mike Bahia are bringing their successful Amantes Tour to the U.S. for the first time, Billboard can exclusively reveal.
The 2023 North American leg of the tour, which follows its successful trek across Latin America in 2018 and 2019, marks Greeicy’s return to the stage after giving birth to her first child, KAI, in April 2022. If the official poster is any indication, the couple also plans on taking their son on tour with them.
In addition to each artist performing their biggest hits, they will also join forces to sing their beloved collaborations, including “Att: Amor,” “Esta Noche,” and “Amantes,” to name a few.
Presented by Loud and Live, Greeicy and Bahia — who have been in a relationship since 2010 — will visit eight cities in the U.S., kicking off on Feb. 23 at the Colden Auditorium in New York, and wrapping on March 5 at The Novo in Los Angeles. The couple will also visit select cities including Miami and Houston.

Fresh off her announcement as the first mentor in the Billboard and Samsung Present NXT 2.0 singing competition, Mariah Angeliq brought her dance-ready catalog to her hometown of Miami for a show as part of Billboard Latin Music Week 2022.

During the recent performance, which preceded a set by Bizarrap, the reggaeton singer took over the 305’s outdoor performance stage at Oasis Wynwood for an evening showcase, which included her hits, “Perreito,” and her colossal Karol G collaboration, “El Makinon.” The affair saw La Princesa de Miami perform alongside four backup dancers in a black leather ensemble to a sold-out crowd. Aside from offering the tunes, the rising singer made sure to show love to the audience, too, when she pulled out a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 to take a quick selfie with the crowd.
Among the folks in attendance included Ty Dolla $ign, who watched her perform from the side of the stage, and Angeliq’s own family. Prior to hitting the stage, the star told Billboard that the show was going to be a special one as it’d be the first time that her father has ever seen her perform in-concert.
Expect to see more from the singer as part of the NXT 2.0 singing competition, which is gearing up to announce its 12 contestants. The dozen will be armed with Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip4, Buds2 Pro and Watch5 to compete in three challenges that’ll put their artistry to the test. Throughout the challenge round, they’ll see their rankings on a specialty Billboard chart until the dozen is narrowed down to just three finalists.
Ahead of a grand finale performance in Los Angeles, the singer and two additional celebrity judges will coach the trio with one-on-one mentorship sessions. With the newly-acquired expertise and advice, they’ll vie for the title in front of a live audience and A-list judges to compete for the crown — and the prizes are massive. The winner of Samsung and Billboard’s NXT 2.0 competition will grace a special digital Billboard cover, land a meeting with a record label, studio time to record their first single, funding for a music video and tickets to the 2023 Billboard Music Awards.
Her strategy to her mentorship duties will fall on her undeniable personality, something seen by her 6 million followers on social media. “My approach as a mentor is going to be very blunt, very straightforward, very black and white because that’s what this industry is about,” she told Billboard in a recent interview. “It’s very coldhearted, it’s challenging and I want people to know that. I want these aspiring artists to know what they’re getting themselves into. Are they ready for this? Are they willing to fight for what they want? Are they willing to stay focused and consistent? This industry is not as easy as it seems and I want them to know that.”
“In addition to the discipline and the confidence, the competing artists need to have the ‘full package.’ For me, this means, stage presence, ambition, and the fire,” she continued.
Looking ahead, her participation in the competition doesn’t stray too far from her priorities in music releases either. In addition to working on her debut studio album, she just released “En La Mía,” a new collaboration with a rising Puerto Rican rapper by the name of YOVNGCHIMI, whom she discovered on social media.

In a display of women’s increasing clout in the Latin urban landscape, Rosalía and Karol G have been confirmed as headliners for the 16th annual Calibash, taking place Jan. 21 and 22 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. They join a previously billed group of headliners that also includes Ozuna, Myke Towers and Farruko.
The Latin urban megafest, widely known as the pioneer and still the most storied in a crowded Latin urban festival landscape, will also feature performances by Ivy Queen and Becky G, as well as Jhayco, Nío García, Zion & Lennox, Blessd, Sech and Feid. Rosalía and Karol G will both perform one-offs, as their U.S. tours will have concluded by January. Tickets are already on sale.
All told, seven artists will perform per night at Calibash, a departure from the fest’s early years of dozens of acts on the bill, and also a departure from more crowded rosters. It’s part of an effort to more carefully curate Calibash, says Alessandra Alarcón, president of SBS Entertainment, which created and promotes the show.
Alarcón says that when she took over Calibash, “I thought the audience would be OK with there being less acts but more quality sets. I thought if we could edit this down and give the headliners half hour, 45 minutes, I think people would be stoked to see that. And I’m happy to say I was right.”
Last year, Calibash sold out three nights at Crypto.com Arena, even though the shows took place in the midst of a COVID-19 surge.
Calibash was the first Latin music festival devoted to urban music that not only took place consistently every year and always on the West Coast, but also became known for its performances — planned and unplanned — by non Latin artists, including Jennifer Lopez, French Montana, Cardi B and memorably in 2016, Justin Bieber, in addition to a slew of other stars.
Both Calibash performances will kick-off with a pre-show fan festival that celebrates Latin music and culture at L.A. Live with surprise performances, experiences and more.
Calibash is owned and operated by SBS Entertainment’s parent company, Spanish Broadcasting System, which owns and operates some of Latin music’s top radio stations in the country, including Los Angeles’ KXOL-FM La Mega 96.3, the event’s official station.

Ozuna is officially the new owner of a basketball team in Puerto Rico, the Baloncesto Nacional Superior de Puerto Rico (Basketball National Superior – BSN) confirmed.

Due to the franchise’s transfer to the municipality of Manatí, the team has been renamed to Los Osos de Manatí (Manatí Bears).

A Banda MS corrido will appear in Call of Duty
Banda MS’ new corrido, titled “141,” will become the first regional Mexican song to appear in a Call of Duty video game series. The track is set to be integrated into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, with “several” versions of the song heard throughout different parts of the game. “141” is inspired by the members of the Task Force 141 and soldier Alejandro Vargas from the Mexican Special Forces, and ties in with the narrative of the newest installment of the first-person shooter game.
“We’re really proud to be part of the game’s DNA, and we would be honored to keep doing more of these collaborations because all eyes are on video games and for us, it’s a great opportunity to capture a new audience,” says Oswaldo Silvas, one of Banda MS’ vocalists.

Sister duo Ha*Ash, composed of Hanna and Ashley, have a lot to celebrate. For starters, Ha*Ash has reached a milestone with 20 years in the industry, which they’re still wrapping their head around. “We can’t believe it’s been that long,” says Ashley during an Instagram Live with Billboard. Then there’s their four sold-out dates in Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional, the first show is tonight (Oct. 21), which fall within their Mi Salida Contigo Tour in Mexico. The duo is also returning to the U.S. in 2023 with their trek that includes 22 dates, and there’s also their first album in five years, Haashtag, released in September.

After launching their career in the early 2000s with their self-titled debut album, which included pop anthems “Odio Amarte” and “Estés En Donde Estés,” the Mexican-American sisters have proven chameleonic in the ever-changing landscaping of music. “It’s completely changed from when we started. Now, the type of music we make isn’t as popular as other genres, so the biggest challenge has been to stay innovative without compromising our essence [as pop artists].”
In their latest albums, they’ve embraced new styles fusing their core pop sound with urban, country and regional Mexican for a more contemporary approach to making music. But unlike most artists, they’ve placed all bets on recording solo, with very few collaborations done throughout their 20-year-career. For example, in Haashtag, there’s only one collab, which is “Mi Salida Contigo” with Kenia Os.
“We’re not actively going out looking for collaborations,” says Hanna. Adds Ashley, “Particularly with this album because we recorded it during the pandemic so we didn’t have contact with a lot of people. Whenever we do collaborate, which rare, it’s because we’re there in person with them and it just happens.”
As for the tour, which also kicked off in September in Mexico coinciding with the release of the new LP, Hanna describes it as their “most ambitious” tour that requires “a lot of production” since they’ll be performing in bigger venues they’re used to performing in Mexico and in the U.S. where they’ve booked a few arenas as opposed to just theaters.
When asked if they consider this moment their “comeback,” both disagree. “We never really left but this tour and the album do feel bigger than previous ones.” And fans can rest assure that during their tour, they will be singing the oldies. “We’re celebrating 20 years, we have to sing our songs from the first album,” says Ashley.
