J Balvin & Bad Bunny Sing Their Way to the Top of Hot Latin Songs

J Balvin and Bad Bunny’s “La Canción” jumps 2-1 on the latest Hot Latin Songs chart (dated. Nov. 30). With a 21-week climb to the top, it’s the longest journey to No. 1 since Nov. 5, 2016, when J Balvin’s “Ginza” traveled to the top in a 25-week period (Nov. 5, 2016).

J Balvin ups his career count to seven No. 1s, while Bad Bunny notches his third leader — and first of the year.

The ballad and second single off their joint set Oasis — which led the Top Latin Albums chart for eight weeks — advances despite a 7% decline in streaming activity as both airplay and sales improve. “La Canción” earns 9 million in audience impressions (up 23%), in the week ending Nov. 24, according to Nielsen Music. It concurrently collects 1,000 downloads (a 16% gain) in the week ending Nov. 21.

In addition to its Hot Latin Songs coronation, “Canción” rides 3-1 on both the Latin Airplay and Latin Pop Songs chart, while it bumps 2-1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay.
