Latin Rhythm Airplay

Last updated

Latin Rhythm Airplay is an airplay-only chart published weekly by Billboard that ranks the most popular songs being played on Hispanic rhythmic/hurban radio stations in the United States. [1] The music typically heard on these stations include reggaeton, Hispanic R&B and hip hop, rhythmic pop/dance, and crossovers from English-language and/or bilingual acts.

The chart was introduced the week of August 13, 2005, and came about as a result of radio stations tapping into the growing second and third generation Hispanic audience who wanted a Spanish-speaking or bilingual alternative to the (English-language mainstream, rhythmic, and R&B/hip-hop) formats that they felt would represent them. [2] "Lo Que Pasó, Pasó" by Daddy Yankee was the first number-one song on the chart. [3] With the issue dated January 8, 2011, the chart's methodology was change to reflect overall airplay of Latin rhythm music on Latin radio stations. Instead of ranking songs being played on Latin-rhythm stations, rankings are determined by the amount of airplay Latin rhythm songs receive on stations that play Latin music regardless of genre. [4]

Only a few female artists have been able to reach the top ten of the chart. These include reggaetón singer Ivy Queen, who currently has seven top-ten, two of them number-one singles, Nina Sky, who appeared on Tony Touch's "Play That Song", Latin pop singers Shakira and RBD, and American R&B singers Beyoncé Knowles, Cassie, and Keyshia Cole. [5] Ivy Queen became the first woman to top the chart in 2008, when her single "Dime" reached number one. [6] Karol G is the female artist with the most number-ones, with fifteen. [7] As of March 2016, "Danza Kuduro" by Don Omar featuring Lucenzo is the longest-leading song with 29 weeks at number-one. [8]
