21 Chart-Topping Summer Latin Songs of the Last Decade: ‘Bailando,’ ‘Despacito,’ & More

The summer season not only brings longer and hotter days, but also an incredible selection of music with perfect songs to accompany all the fun activities of the most relaxed time of the year.

There are many songs that gain momentum each summer, but only a few reach the top of Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, becoming the most popular tunes of the season.

Undoubtedly, the last 10 years have brought many timeless No. 1 Latin hits worthy of being included in our “21 Biggest Summer Latin Songs” list. Songs with contagious tropical rhythms like “Vivir Mi Vida” by Marc Anthony that made us dance in 2013, and songs with an urban flavor like “Bailando” by Enrique Iglesias with Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona, which took over the summer of 2014.

And let’s not forget the global phenomenon that was “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, whose impact transcended beyond 2017 and continues to be heard around the world to this day. Nor can we fail to mention the recent success of Mexican music with Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma’s “Ella Baila Sola,” which is taking 2023 by storm (so far).

Get ready to embark on a nostalgic musical journey through the Latin songs that accompanied your best summer moments in the past 10 years. From The Black Eyed Peas & J Balvin’s “Ritmo” to Aventura & Bad Bunny’s “Volví,” and beyond, here are all the songs that were crowned as No. 1 hits on Hot Latin Songs every summer season (June – August) since 2013, in chronological order.
