List of Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart achievements and milestones

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Billboard Hot Latin Songs is a record chart in the United States for Latin singles, published weekly by Billboard magazine since September 6, 1986. The chart's methodology was only based on airplay from Spanish-language radio stations from its inception until the issue dated October 13, 2012, when Billboard updated its methodology to a multi-metric system, including sales of digital downloads and streaming activity in addition to airplay, as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan.[1]

Notes

  1. The original version of "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee remained at number one for 12 weeks before the remix version featuring Justin Bieber was combined to the chart entry on May 6, 2017.[7]
  2. Jhayco was credited as Jhay Cortez, as the song was released prior to his name change in 2022.[9]
  3. Marco Antonio Solís has four additional number-ones and 10 top 10 songs as member of Los Bukis.[59]
  4. Wisin has one additional number-one song as a solo act.[29]
  5. Ana Gabriel's total weeks at number one includes a 1991 collaboration with Vikki Carr, "Cosas del Amor", which Billboard counts separately by mistakenly crediting them as a duo.[40][41]
  6. Billboard mistakenly credits Ozuna with 27 top 10 songs due to his feature on the remix of "Bonita" (2017), whose combined chart entries with the original version retroactively credited all guest artists. The original version by Jowell & Randy and J Balvin peaked at number eight on November 4, 2017, while the remix was released on December 22 and subsequently peaked at number 14 on December 23.[61][62]
