‘Party’ Time: Bad Bunny & Rauw Alejandro Hit No. 1 on Latin Airplay Chart

Bad Bunny and Rauw Alejandro’s “Party” team-up conquers Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as the track rises 4-1 on the Feb. 11-dated ranking. It’s the fourth single from Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti to lead the all-genre tally.

“Party” dances its way to No. 1 with a 9% gain in audience impressions, to 10.2 million, earned in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 2, according to Luminate. It sends Bizarrap and Shakira’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” to No. 3 after its one-week command, with a 6% dip in audience (9.5 million during the tracking week).

With the new champ, Bad Bunny improves his career total to 20 No. 1s on Latin Airplay, the eighth-most since the chart launched in 1994. Meanwhile, Rauw collects his 10th champ.

As “Party” hits No. 1 on the all-genre tally, Bad Bunny claims a fourth leader from his No. 1 album Un Verano Sin Ti, starting with “Moscow Mule” (July 2022), “Me Porto Bonito,” with Chencho Corleone (August 2022), and “Titi Me Preguntó” (September 2022).

Notably Bad Bunny is among 10 artists to claim at least four No. 1s on Latin Airplay from the same studio album since the list’s inception. Further, he is just the third act to achieve the feat with at least two albums or more. He joins Romeo Santos (five No. 1s from Formula, Vol. 1 and Formula, Vol. 2; four champs from Golden) and Enrique Iglesias (five No. 1s from Enrique Iglesias; four leaders from Final, Vol. 4) Here’s the leaderboard:
