Eight weeks after Elena Rose earned her first entry on a Billboard songs chart, the Venezuelan singer-songwriter scores her maiden top 10 on a ranking thanks to “Orión,” her collaboration with Boza.
The song, released May 29 via Sony Music Latin, flies 17-4 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart (dated Oct. 5) after a 217% surge in audience impressions, to with 2.1 million, earned on U.S. monitored stations during the Sept. 20-26 tracking week, according to Luminate.
Thanks to the 217% surge, “Orión” takes the Greatest Gainer honor of the week, awarded weekly to the song with the most audience impressions among the chart’s 40-deep entries. Univision stations WKAQ-FM (Puerto Rico) and WXNY-FM (New York) lead with the most plays in the latest tracking week. Meanwhile, another New York station, SBS’ WPAT-FM, joins in as part of the top three supporters.

“Orión” ties Play-N-Skillz, Natti Natasha and Deorro’s “Como La Flor” for the largest single-week jump on Latin Pop Airplay in 2024, both rallying 13 positions. The latter climbed 21-8 on the Sept. 28-dated list, for Mexican American DJ Deorro’s first entry and top 10 there. The song keeps pushing, moving 8-3 on the current ranking.
While Boza has enjoyed chart hits dating back to 2020, the Panamanian celebrates his second radio top 10 with “Orión,” following the Silvestre Dangond and Reik team-up, “Sé Que Estás Con Él,” which took them to a No. 6 on Latin Rhythm Airplay in June 2023.
Venezuelan Elena Rose made her maiden chart appearance as a songwriter in 2022, debuting at No. 5 on the Latin Songwriters chart then. “Orión” also gives Elena Rose her first visit on the overall Latin Airplay chart, where the song debuts at No. 49. Boza picks up his third entry.
The new chart achievement arrives following Elena Rose’s three Latin Grammy Award nominations, including song of the year for “Caracas En El 2000.”
All charts (dated Oct. 5, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Oct. 1). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Andrea Bocelli is the recipient of the 2024 Morton E. Ruderman Award in Inclusion, which is presented by The Ruderman Family Foundation. Bocelli is being recognized for his career, as well as for his philanthropic work through the Andrea Bocelli Foundation. Bocelli will formally receive the award when he is in Boston later this year, coinciding with his 2024 holiday tour.
The Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF) will receive a $100,000 contribution to help rebuild ABF schools throughout Haiti.
“Whether it be through my personal journey, musical career, or philanthropic projects, I have always prioritized giving a voice to the voiceless — to give back to the world all the good things I have received, so the less fortunate or most vulnerable members of our society get a chance to achieve a life full of opportunity and beauty,” Bocelli said in a statement. “It is therefore a tremendous honor to receive this award from the Ruderman Family Foundation, an organization that shares my worldview in both word and deed. Together, we will continue to work to build a better world than the one we have found.”

The ABF, together with the local partner Foundation St. Luc, has already helped rebuild several schools in Haiti in five of the poorest and most remote communities, offering educational access to more than 3,500 students every day.
Bocelli’s foundation has raised 70 million Euros, has funded 10 schools in Haiti and Italy, and has improved water access for more than 400,000 people since it was established in 2011.
“Both in his musical career and his philanthropic work, Andrea Bocelli has unmistakably demonstrated that through perseverance we can achieve even the most ambitious goals and dreams,” said Jay Ruderman, president of the Ruderman Family Foundation.
The award, now in its 10th year, was named after Morton E. Ruderman, a founder of the Ruderman Family Foundation. Past recipients of the award who were honored specifically for effectuating change on the issue of inclusion include Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin, former U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin and filmmakers Peter and Bobby Farrelly. (Peter Farrelly won two Oscars in 2019 for co-producing and co-writing Green Book.)
Several other recipients of the award have been recognized for their efforts to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, including actress Eva Longoria, actor and recording artist Selena Gomez, five-time NBA All-Star Kevin Love, Oscar-nominated actor Taraji P. Henson, and Olympian Michael Phelps.
Bocelli, a world-renowned tenor, has amassed nine top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, including Si, which debuted at No. 1 in November 2018. Five of his albums have logged a full year or more on Billboard’s flagship album chart: Romanza (91 weeks), Sogno (72), Aria – The Opera Album (69), Amore (59) and My Christmas (52).
Bocelli’s only hit on the Billboard Hot 100 was a 2010 collaboration with Mary J. Blige – a remake of Simon & Garfunkel’s 1970 classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
Surprisingly, Bocelli has yet to win a Grammy, despite five nominations.

Shortly after the premiere airs, The View‘s Sunny Hostin is reportedly slated to host a discussion alongside domestic violence experts and survivor advocates.
“Domestic violence is a very close, personal issue to me as I reflect on my past as a prosecutor of these types of cases, and in my role as a mother and public figure whose actions inform and help shape the next generation,” Hostin said in a statement. “This issue is a prevalent epidemic which knows no socio-economic boundaries, so I am dedicated to expanding and continuing this crucial conversation. The more we know, the better we can help advocate for change as a society.”
Investigation Discovery is coming off of airing the bombshell Quiet on Set documentary earlier this year, which probed the child abuse that allegedly took place at Nickelodeon Studios.
