Make that 30 hits for Marc Anthony…
The 50-year-old Puerto Rican singer, the top selling tropical salsa artist of all time, has earned his 30th No. 1 on Billboard’s Tropical Songs airplay chart as his new single “Tu Vida En La Mía” bumps 2-1 in its fourth week, on the chart dated March 23.
It’s the fastest jump to the summit since September 23, 2017, whenNacho’s “Bailame” sprinted to the top in just three weeks.
“Tu Vida En La Mia” earns the Greatest Gainerhonor of the week and advances with a 30 percent increase in audience impressions in the week ending March 17 (rising to 4.51 million), according to Nielsen Music.
The song pads Anthony’s lead as the artist with the most No. 1s (with 30) on the Tropical Songs airplay chart since its inception in 1994.
“Tu Vida En La Mia” is also his first chart leader, unaccompanied, in over four years. “Flor Pálida” rose to the summit on May 31, 2014, where it remained for two weeks. Since then, Marc Anthony has claimed a total of six No. 1s, five of which have been through collaborations or via featured roles.
He barely misses out on replacing himself at the top spot. His most recent pre-“Tu Vida En La Mia” leader, “Adicto,” a collaboration with Prince Royce, completed its seven-week reign two weeks ago, on the ranking dated March 9. Between Marc’s rulers, Raymix’s “Oye Mujer” went back to the top for a week, after its previous 11-week run at No. 1 (April 21-June 30, 2018).
