Myke Towers & Bad Bunny’s ‘Adivino’ Debuts at No. 2 on Hot Latin Songs
Myke Towers captures his highest-charting hit yet on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart as “Adivino,” with Bad Bunny, debuts at No. 2 on the list dated May 11. It’s the 52nd chart hit for the former, and 11th to reach the top 10. For Bunny, the collab marks his record-extending 75th top 10 out of 170 total chart hits (again, a record).
“Adivino,” released April 25 on One World International/Warner Latina, traces its No. 2 debut on Hot Latin Songs almost entirely to streaming activity. The song logged 9.9 million official U.S. streams in the U.S. during the April 26-May 2 tracking week, according to Luminate. That sum yields an equal No. 2 start on Latin Streaming Songs, Towers’ highest debut, and it equals his highest charting song (“La Jeepeta,” with Nio Garcia, Anuel AA, Brray and Juanka).
As “Adivino” launches at No. 2 on Hot Latin Songs, which blends streaming data, airplay, and digital sales for its results, it pushes Xavi’s former No. 1 “La Diabla” from 2-3, following its 14-week domination which started in January. The track marked the second-longest run at No. 1 this decade (Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma’s “Ella Baila Sola” dominated for 19 consecutive weeks in 2023). Meanwhile, FloyyMenor and Cris MJ’s “Gata Only” remains at No. 1 four a fourth consecutive week.
By reaching No. 2, Towers outpaces his career-best, as he previous topped out at No. 3 on the multi-metric tally with both “La Jeepeta” (Nio Garcia, Anuel AA, Towers, Brray and Juanka), and “Caramelo” (Ozuna, Karol G and Towers), a week from each other in August 2020.
Benito, meanwhile, scores his first debut on the chart since the Oct. 28, 2023-dated list, when he landed 19 concurrent debuts alongside the release of his Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana album, including the entire top 10, led by “Mónaco.” The track spent 10 weeks at No. 1 – the second-most of any No. 1 in 2023, trailing the 19 weeks of “Ella Baila Sola.”
Notably, as “Adivino” becomes the third song to debut at No. 2 or higher in 2024 –after two Peso Pluma songs– Bad Bunny extends his record for the most top 10s, with 75.
On the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, “Adivino” opens at No. 63, Towers’ highest-debut yet. Only one other Latin song ranks higher: FloyyMenor and Cris MJ’s “Gata Only” continues its winning streak, as it rallies 58-44 on the Hot 100 and continues at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs for a fourth turn.
While streaming activity fuels the bulk of “Adivino’s” high start, sales assist its launch in the upper tier: the 1,000 downloads sold in the tracking week targeted for a No. 1 debut on Latin Digital Song Sales.
