Bad Bunny Takes ‘El Clúb’ to No. 1 on Latin Airplay Chart
Bad Bunny adds his 26th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart with “El Clúb,” which lifts 2-1 to lead the Feb. 8-dated ranking. It’s the first song from Debí Tirar Más Fotos to top the overall radio ranking.
“El Clúb” reigns after a 5% gain in audience impressions, to 9.2 million, earned in the U.S. during the Jan. 24-30 tracking week, according to Luminate. With the lift, Bad Bunny eclipses the domination by Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” as the latter set a new record on the overall Latin radio chart in January. The song dips 1-2 after 27 weeks in charge.
With “El Clúb,” Benito grabs his 26th champ on Latin Airplay and first of 2025. The Puerto Rican first led the chart through his featured role in Becky G’s “Mayores” in 2018. He’s placed at least two No. 1s each year since, with 2020 becoming his most profitable year, enlisting six No. 1s then. “El Clúb” also becomes Bad Bunny’s 10th ruler unassisted by any other artist, among his collection of 26 wins.
“El Clúb” is the first track stemming from the No. 1 album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, to lead Latin Airplay, while “Baile Inolvidable,” the third single from the album, climbs 11-6 for its first week in the top 10, thanks to a 10% boost in audience (to 6.5 million). Over on Latin Rhythm Airplay, “El Clúb” repeats at its No. 1 for a second week.
Beyond its Latin radio coronation, the song holds steady in the top 10 on the Hot Latin Songs chart (which blends digital sales, streaming data and radio airplay into its formula) in its eighth week, after Bad Bunny swept the multi-metric list when Debí blasted in at No. 1 in January. There, “El Clúb” falls 7-8 with a 24% decline in U.S. streams.
