Wisin & Yandel Earn First Latin Airplay Top 10 As Lead Acts in Six Years With ‘Reggaeton En Lo Oscuro’

In the midst of Wisin & Yandel’s Como Antes U.S. tour promo campaign, which kicked off with eight dates at Coliseo de Puerto Rico on Nov. 30, the duo’s “Reggaeton En Lo Oscuro” lands in the Latin Airplay chart’s top 10, rocketing 12-3 on the Jan. 19 ranking.

“We are so happy that ‘Reggaeton En Lo Oscuro’ is being embraced by radio and that fans are excited about our new music and upcoming tour!” Wisin tells Billboard. “It’s a great blessing to know that what we started more than 15 years ago is still going strong.”

The song nabs a spot in the list’s top tier with 12.82 million in audience impressions during the tracking week ending Jan. 13, according to Nielsen Music (a 31 percent boost vs. the title’s 12 percent gain from the previous week).

“I am so excited to hear about the success of ‘Reggaeton En Lo Oscuro’,” Yandel tells Billboard. “This new achievement is a re-affirmation that our new music continues to resonate with fans everywhere. I can’t wait to share the stage with Wisin and continue to make history together”. 

“Reggaeton” is the duo’s first official single after a five-year hiatus. Amid their break, however, they notched a No. 1 on the tally as featured acts on Ricky Martin’s “Fiebre” (May 19, 2018.)
