DFZM Makes Billboard Charts Debut With Karol G & Feid Collab ‘+57’

Colombian rapper DFZM makes his Billboard charts debut with the all-star collaboration “+57,” co-billed with Karol G and Feid, and featuring Ovy On The Drums, J Balvin, Maluma, Ryan Castro and Blessd. It’s the highest debut on the latest Hot Latin Songs chart (dated Nov. 23), entering at No. 4. .

“+57,” released Nov. 8 via Bichota/Interscope/ICLG, breaks into the top five largely based on streaming activity after its first full week of activity. The song — which drew attention for controversial lyrics — generated 8.3 million official streams in the U.S., according to Luminate, during its Nov. 8-14 tracking period. That figure sum prompts a No. 3 start on Latin Streaming Songs, where J Balvin collects his 32nd top 10 while Karol, her 29th, both trailing Bad Bunny’s robust 81 top 10s on his streaming account, the most overall since the tally launched in 2013.

With “+57’s” high debut on Hot Latin Songs, which combines streaming data, digital sales and airplay into its formula, Ovy On The Drums, Ryan Castro and Blessd achieve career milestones as each secure their first top 10 on the multi-metric tally.

Colombian producer Ovy neared the top 10 through another Karol G collab, “Cairo,” which reached No. 11 high in December 2022. Castro and Blessd, each one reached No. 12 high prior: the former through his first collab with Karol G, “Una Noche En Medellín (remix)” (2023), while the latter through “Medallo,” with Justin Quiles and Lenny Tavarez (2022).

“+57” also delivers new achievements for Karol G, Feid, Balvin and Maluma. Karol nabs her 28th Hot Latin Songs top 10, still the second-most among women (behind Shakira’s 27 top10s). Feid matches the No. 4 debut of his previous entry, “Sorry 4 That Much,” for his sixth top 10. Balvin ads his 36th career top 10, and Maluma, his 16th.

But “+57’s” biggest beneficiary is DFZM. The rapper earns his first Hot Latin Songs top 10 with his first title to make the chart. Further, DFZM makes his maiden appearance on three other main charts.

On the global front, “+57” opens at No. 20 on the Billboard Global 200 chart with 46 million clicks worldwide. Meanwhile, it debuts at No. 14 on the Global Excl. U.S. with 38 million streams outside the U.S. Plus, it bows at No. 62 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.

Sales, too, assist in the song’s top five debut on Hot Latin Songs, where it opens at No. 1 on Latin Digital Song Sales with 1,000 digital downloads sold.
