Bad Bunny’s ‘Baile Inolvidable’ Hits No. 1 on Latin Airplay

Bad Bunny earns a second No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart from Debí Tirar Más Fotos album, and his 27th overall, as “Baile Inolvidable” rises 3-1 on the chart dated March 1. The tropical song follows two-week champ “El Clúb” (Feb. 8-15 charts). 

“Baile Inolvidable” rolls into the top spot on the overall Latin Airplay chart thanks to 8.3 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. during the Feb. 14-20 tracking week, according to Luminate. It scores an 11% boost from the week prior. The song ejects Myke Towers’ “Otra Noche,” featuring Darell, from the lead (falling to No. 2 with 7.8 million audience, down less than 1%)

“El Clúb,” the first single from his No. 1 album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, continues its run in the top 10, falling 4-10. Meanwhile, Benito has a third song in the region, as his collab with Rauw Alejandro, “Que Pasaria…,” jumps 8-4.

Bad Bunny, who first led Latin Airplay in February 2018, has managed to place at least two No. 1s every year since, with 2020 marking his most rewarding year, placing six rulers then. As Bad Bunny’s collection grows, here’s a look at the number of chart-toppers during his seven-year No. 1 career:

2018, three
2019, four
2020, six
2021, three
2022, three
2023, four
2024, two
2025, two (so far)

Beyond its Latin Airplay coronation, the tropical “Baile Inolvidable” ranks a second week at No. 1 on Tropical Airplay. It also adds a seventh week at No. 2 on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, which blends airplay, digital sales and streaming data into its formula. There, it takes the Greatest Gainer/Sales honors, with a 2% gain in sales, to 500, which moves it 3-2 on Latin Digital Song Sales. Not the same luck in streaming activity, as the song registers 11.3 million official U.S. streams, translating to an 11% dip in clicks for the tracking week.

Great Strides for Maluma & Fuerza Regida: Elsewhere on the Latin charts, Maluma adds a 13th No. 1 on Latin Pop Airplay with “Cosas Pendiente,” his first champ in over two years. The song improves thanks to 12% gain in audience impressions, to 6.4 million. The song, written by Maluma alongside Edgar Barrera, Keityn, and Casta, is a warm nod to his day-one fans and the first single from upcoming +Pretty +Dirty album.

Fuerza Regida’s “Por Esos Ojos” becomes the biggest streaming gainer on Hot Latin Songs thanks to an 183% gain to 9.2 million official U.S. streams logged during the tracking week, which yields a No. 5 start on Latin Streaming Songs. The song, released Feb. 11, surges 25 ranks, from No. 30 to No. 5 for the group’s 11th top 10 on the multi-metric chart.
