Shakira has reached No. 1 with a bullet…
The 39-year-old Colombian superstar’s latest single, “Chantaje,” featuring Maluma, has debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart (dated November 19), becoming only the 14th track to debut atop the chart in its 30-year history.
It’s Shakira’s 11th No. 1, and the first leader for fellow Colombian singer Maluma.
Further, “Chantaje” is only the second No. 1 debut on the list since the chart transitioned from an all-airplay chart to a multi-metric ranking in 2012, blending airplay, sales and streams.
The track simultaneously bows at No. 96 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Shakira’s 19th hit there and Maluma’s first.
