All the Women with No. 1 Hot Latin Songs in the Past 10 Years – Billboard
Women’s History Month is in full swing and celebrates International Women’s Day (March 8), Billboard has compiled a list of all the women who have ranked No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart over the past decade. The chart ranks the most popular Latin songs of the week, mixing airplay, streaming and digital sales data.
In 2012, icons Gloria Estefan and Paulina Rubio reached No. 1 on the coveted chart. The former debuted and peaked at No. 1 with “Hotel Nacional” and the latter with “Me Gustas Tanto”.
For more than four years, female representation was rare at the top of the Latin charts until Shakira’s “Chantaje” featuring Maluma debuted and peaked at No. 1 on the November 19, 2016 chart, where it was ruled for 11 weeks.
Like Shak, other Latinas have done Billboard the story.
Karol G and Nicki Minaj’s “Tusa” became the first song to debut at No. 1 of 2019, and the first two-woman lead single to open at the top of the chart since its inception in 1986. With “Telepatia,” Kali Uchis became the first unaccompanied female soloist to reach No. 1 since 2012, and currently, “Mamii” by Becky G and Karol G tops the charts in its third week.
