Jam’s “El Perdon,” featuring Enrique Iglesias (who scores his record-extending 26th No. 1 on the chart with the climb) leaps 6-1, with a 64 percent gain in sales (to 6,000 downloads according to Nielsen Music) in its fifth week on the chart.

An urban music fixture, Jam has posted six other tracks on the Hot Latin Songs chart since his first entry in 2004.

“El Perdon” is his first single to be released through Sony Music Latin after signing with the label in February.
