Karol G claims more Latin Airplay glory with “Latin Foreva,” as the song lifts 2-1 for its first week atop Billboard‘s overall Latin radio ranking (dated July 26). The Colombian strengthens her hold on the second-most No. 1 titles among women, raising her total to 19 champs. Shakira continues at the helm with 24 No. 1s.
“Latina Foreva” rises with 8.9 million audience impressions earned in the United States in the tracking week ending July 17, according to Luminate. That’s a 14% gain across Latin radios from the week prior.
The song becomes the second chart-topping single from her latest No. 1 album Tropicoqueta. It follows “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” which ruled Latin Airplay for 27 weeks, the longest-leading No. 1 song in the history of the almost 31-year-old tally.
As Karol G collects her 19th No. 1 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, she cements her second-most wins among women, trailing only Shakira, who still holds the record for the most rulers by a female artist since Latin Airplay began in 1994.
Further, “Latina Foreva” is the 13th song by a female soloist, without a collaborator, to hit No. 1 on Latin Airplay in the 2020s decade. Notably, six out of those titles belong to Karol G herself, while Natti Natasha is the only other woman to secure two rulers or more on her own this decade.
