Karol G’s Biggest Hits Ranked: Staff Picks

Karol G has a knack for writing songs that can feel relatable. With lyrics on topics that range from love to heartbreak to empowerment, many of Karol’s songs have the qualities that turn a song into an anthem.

Perhaps the Colombian hitmaker’s first big anthem was “Tusa” with Nicki Minaj, which dropped in 2019. The song peaked at No. 1 for four weeks on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart becoming the first song with a female lead artist to debut atop that chart since 2016. It was also the first Latin song with all women artists to reach a billion streams on Spotify.

The reggaetón song, powered by subtle violins, set the bar so high for Karol that she was afraid she’d end up a one-hit wonder. “I was feeling all this pressure because I thought, ‘I will never be able to top ‘Tusa,'” the 33-year-old singer-songwriter told Billboard back in 2021. “I stopped making music and told my team to take advantage of this song as much as we could, because I would probably be a one-hit wonder.”

The truth is that Karol G couldn’t be farther from being a one-off success. Since her breakthrough year in 2016, the Grammy- and Latin Grammy-winning artist has placed 26 top 10 tracks (and counting) on the Hot Latin Songs chart, with eight of those hitting No. 1 — including “Provenza,” “MAMIII” with Becky G, the Shakira-assisted “TQG” and “Mi Ex Tenía Razón.”
