Bad Bunny is ruling the roost yet again…
A week after crowning multiple Billboard year-end charts, the 29-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar has added a new chart achievement to his roster as “Un Preview” ascends 2-1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay ranking dated December 2.
The song’s new coronation follows its command on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart, for a third week in charge.
“Un Preview” rises to the summit on Latin Airplay with 10.3 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. during the November 17-23 tracking week, according to Luminate.
That’s a 14% gain from the week prior, which sends Myke Towers’ “LaLa” to No. 6, after two weeks atop, with 16% dip, to 7.8 million impressions.
As “Un Preview” takes the lead, Bad Bunny earns his 23rd champ, thus tying with Maluma for the fifth-most No. 1s overall, since Latin Airplay began in 1994.
As the Top Latin Artist of 2023 “previews” a new No. 1, here’s the list of all artists with as many or more:
36, J Balvin
33, Ozuna
32, Enrique Iglesias
28, Daddy Yankee
23, Bad Bunny
23, Maluma
The new No. 1 also continues Bad Bunny’s chart-topping achievements as a soloist.
Among his 23 champs, “Un Preview” becomes his eighth solo leader, unaccompanied by any other act. Further, it’s the third No. 1 song as a soloist with an English-language title, after “Moscow Mule” and “Where She Goes” topped Latin Airplay for one week on July 2022 and last August, respectively.
Here’s a look at those solo winners:
