The single, a revamped version of Maná’s 1992 version of the song, soars 47 percent at radio to 15 million audience impressions in the week ending September 18, according to Nielsen Music.

While the chart move gives Nicky Jam his fourth chart-topper, Maná earns its 11th No. 1.

Maná now has the most No. 1s among duos or groups; they were previously tied with Wisin & Yandel, with 10.

Among all acts, Enrique Iglesias leads with 28 No. 1s in the nearly 22-year history of the chart. He’s followed by Ricky Martin (with 15), Carlos Vives (12) and then Marc Anthony, Gloria Estefan, Maná, Romeo Santos and Shakira — all with 11 each.

The original version of the song appeared on the group’s debut charting album, Donde Jugaron Los Niños?

On the Hot Latin Songs chart (which blends airplay, sales, and streams), “De Pies a Cabeza” lands in the top 10, flying 17-8 in its sixth charting frame. Along with Airplay Gainer honors, digital downloads also aid in the climb with an 11 percent hike (to 1,000 downloads in the week ending Sept. 15).
