Rauw Alejandro & Baby Rasta’s ‘Punto 40’ Leads Latin Rhythm Airplay Chart

Baby Rasta earns his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart thanks to “Punto 40,” his collaboration with Rauw Alejandro, which rises to the top on the Jan. 28-dated ranking.

“Punto 40” is the second single from Alejandro’s Saturno that debuted at No. 2 on Top Latin Albums last November. The song climbs from No. 6 following a 26% gain in audience impressions, to 7.6 million, earned in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 19, according to Luminate.

“Punto 40” gives Baby Rasta his first chart-topper among 20 career entries. The new champ outdoes the Puerto Rican’s highest ranking to date, “Amor Prohibido,” with Gringo, which reached a No. 6 high in 2014. With its ascent, “Punto 40” also sends Feid’s “Normal” to No. 2 after one week in charge (6 million in audience, down 20%).

Alejandro, meanwhile, captures his 10th leader, all dating back just to 2020 with the two-week ruler “TBT,” with Sebastián Yatra and Manuel Turizo. Plus, “Punto 40” arrives eight months after his last, “Te Felicito,” with Shakira, in May 2022. Here’s a look at the hitmaker’s leaderboard:
