The Billboard Hot Latin Songs is a record chart in the United States for Latin songs, published weekly by Billboard magazine. Since October 2012, chart rankings are based on digital sales, radio airplay, and online streaming, and only predominantly Spanish language songs are allowed to rank. The chart was established by the magazine on September 6, 1986, and was originally based on airplay on Latin music radio stations. Songs on the chart were not necessarily in Spanish language, since a few songs in English and Portuguese language have also charted.
The Puerto Rican rapper, songwriter and producer Daddy Yankee has released eight studio albums, two live albums, sixty-seven singles, and one soundtrack. He made his debut on DJ Playero's Playero 34 mixtape, released in 1991. He was later featured on Playero's 37 and 38 albums, before releasing his first solo record in 1995, titled No Mercy. During the rest of the 1990s, he continued working on underground reggaeton records and released his first album as producer El Cartel de Yankee in 1997. After the release of his 2001 independent album El Cartel II: Los Cangris, he released his second studio album, El Cangri.com, in June 2002. It is cited as the record that made him notorious outside his natal Puerto Rico, being his music introduced in New York City and Miami. Without any major label backing him, El Cangri.com managed to peak at number 43 on the US Top Latin Albums chart. A track from the album, "Brugal Mix", became his first Billboard chart entry by peaking at number 40 on the US Tropical Songs chart in November 2002.
Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi has released ten studio albums, two compilation albums, 49 singles and two DVDs.
Brazilian singer Anitta has released four studio albums, one live album, two extended plays, 47 singles and 66 music videos. Anitta was discovered by music producer DJ Batutinha via YouTube in 2010. She eventually signed a record deal with Warner Music Brazil in 2013 and released her debut album, Anitta, that same year, which reached number one and was certified as a gold album in Brazil. Her debut album also produced four singles, including the commercially successful hits "Show das Poderosas" and "Zen".
The discography of American singer Becky G consists of one studio album, one extended play, and sixty-six singles. She first began her career with videos posted onto popular video sharing website YouTube prior to being signed to Kemosabe Records. She released her debut single, "Becky from the Block" (2013), after having previously collaborated with artists including will.i.am and Cody Simpson. Her second single, "Can't Get Enough" (2014), featured Pitbull and went on to top the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart in the United States. The song was featured on Gomez's debut extended play, Play It Again (2013). She achieved commercial success with her single "Shower" (2014), which became a top twenty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It went on to earn a multi platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Colombian singer J Balvin has released five studio albums, one collaborative album, three mixtapes, three EPs, sixty-nine singles, thirty featured singles, and ten promotional singles. He has more than 35 million singles sales certified and four million albums sales certified worldwide as of 2019.
"Despacito" is a song by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi featuring Puerto Rican rapper and singer Daddy Yankee from Fonsi's 2019 studio album Vida. Released on January 12, 2017, the song was written by Fonsi, Erika Ender and Daddy Yankee, and produced by Mauricio Rengifo and Andrés Torres. A remix version featuring Canadian singer Justin Bieber was released on April 17, 2017, which helped to improve the chart performance of the song in numerous countries, including various number-one positions. "Despacito" has been widely credited by music journalists as being instrumental in popularizing Spanish-language pop music in the mainstream market again.
Latin American boy band CNCO has released three studio albums, one extended play, twenty-four singles, including seven as a featured artist, and six promotional singles. The group released their debut single "Tan Fácil" in January 2016, which peaked at number 23 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. Later in May, they released "Quisiera", which reached number 29 on the chart. The band released their anticipated debut album, Primera Cita, on August 26 of the same year, which achieved a Gold certification in the U.S. The group gained international recognition after the release of their third single "Reggaetón Lento (Bailemos)". It has been certified 5x platinum in the Latin field of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and its video reached over 1 billion views in less than a year, making them the first boyband to achieve the feat.
"Échame la Culpa" is a song by Puerto Rican singer and songwriter Luis Fonsi and American singer Demi Lovato. Fonsi co-wrote the song with Alejandro Rengifo and its producers Andrés Torres and Mauricio Rengifo. It was released through Universal Music Latin Entertainment, Republic Records and Island Records on November 17, 2017, as the second single from his tenth studio album, Vida. On March 2, 2018, an English remix of the song titled "Not on You" was released.
