Xavi & Grupo Frontera’s ‘No Capea’ Banks Top Spot on Latin Airplay Chart

Xavi & Grupo Frontera’s ‘No Capea’ Banks Top Spot on Latin Airplay Chart

Xavi and Grupo Frontera combine forces on “No Capea,” as the song climbs from No. 5 to No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart (dated Feb. 7). Their first team-up gives Xavi a third No. 1, while Frontera secures its fifth champ.

“No Capea” makes progress on the overall Latin radio ranking after a 40% gain in audience impressions, to 9.8 million, earned in the United States during the tracking week of Jan. 23-29, according to Luminate.

Before reaching No. 1, “No Capea” spent 10 nonconsecutive weeks in the top 10, bouncing in and out of the region a few times during its 18-week climb to the top. Last November, the track moved 31-7-14 but regained its top 10 position the following week (Nov. 8 chart, No. 9). Beginning with the Dec. 20 chart, after seven straight weeks in the top 10, it moved 8-21-25-23-19, rebounding to No. 8 on the chart dated Jan. 24.

Xavi’s third leader on Latin Airplay follows another No. 1 partnership: “En Privado,” with Manuel Turizo, ruled for one week in June 2025. Frontera, meanwhile, who achieves a fifth chart-topper, last ruled through “Me Jalo,” with Fuerza Regida, in April 2025.

Beyond its Latin Airplay coronation, Grupo Frontera doubles down on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart occupying the top two spots. The group’s “Monterrey” holds strong at No. 1 for a second week despite an 8% dip in audience impressions (to 7.2 million) during the tracking period. Meanwhile, “No Capea,” with Xavi, continues to gain momentum, climbing from No. 4 to No. 2 after a 36% growth in audience, to 6.8 million, across regional Mexican stations in the U.S.

Frontera repeats the feat just two months after capturing the top two rankings on Regional Mexican Airplay. On the Nov. 22, 2025-dated chart, the group grabbed its first week at the summit with “No Capea,” with Xavi, while “Modo Difícil,” with Grupo Firme, moved up 4-2.

Thanks to its radio haul, “No Capea” gets the Greatest Gainer honoring airplay on Hot Latin Songs, awarded weekly to the song with the biggest growth in audience impressions. There, the song climbs from No. 17 to No. 11. (Hot Latin Songs ranks titles blending blend of airplay, streams and sales.)
