Romeo Santos and Prince Royce dart to No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “Dardos” rises 3-1 on the May 9-dated ranking. Santos extends his record for the most No. 1s among tropical acts, with 24 wins; Royce celebrates his 20th chart-topper.
“Dardos” becomes the Greatest Gainer of the week after a 37% surge in audience impressions, to 9.2 million, earned in the United States in the week ending April 30, according to Luminate. The track swaps spots with Maluma and Kany García’s “1+1,” which slips 1-3 with a 30% drop to 6.5 million impressions.
This marks Santos and Royce’s second chart-topping collaboration, following their three-week No. 1 run with “Lokita Por Mí” from Dec. 2025 to March 2026. Both hits stem from their joint album Better Late Than Never, which bowed at No. 2 on Top Latin Albums and led the Top Tropical Albums chart for two weeks in late 2025.
As “Dardos” hits No. 1 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, Santos extends his record for the most No. 1s among tropical acts since the list launched in 1994, now with 24 champs. Prince Royce picks up his 20th chart-topper.
On Tropical Airplay, where the track ascends 2-1, Royce collects his 28th No. 1, trailing only Victor Manuelle (29 No. 1s) and Marc Anthony (39). Santos, meanwhile, achieves his 21st ruler.
Elsewhere on the Latin charts, La Arrolladora Banda El Limón de René Camacho achieves its 22nd No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart with “¿Dónde Estabas Tú?” The achievement places them in a tie with Banda MS for the second-highest number of rulers in the nearly 32-year history of the chart, trailing only Calibre 50, which holds the record with 29 No. 1s.
“¿Dónde Estabas Tú?” surged to the top with 7 million audience impressions, a 10% increase during the tracking week. The track follows the group’s previous two-week chart leader alongside Juanes, “Una Noche Contigo.”
