Tañón Extends Record on Billboard’s Tropical Songs Chart with “Así Es El Amor”

Olga Tañón is staying ahead of the tropical pack…

The 50-year-old Puerto Rican singer has scored her 27th top 10 on Billboard’s Tropical Songs airplay chart, as her single “Así Es El Amor,” featuring Wisin, jumps 12-6 (up 40 percent to 1.9 million audience impressions).

Tañón extends her record for most top 10s on the chart by a woman (India follows with 23).

The latest single marks her first trip to the top 10 since 2011 when “You Need To Know” peaked at No. 7.

“Así Es El Amor” is the lead single from Tañón’s forthcoming album, Olga Tañón y Punto, due May 12. The set is poised to be her 18th entry on the Tropical Albums chart, where she also holds the record for most top 10s – all 17 of her albums have peaked in the top 10 and three have reached No. 1.

Tañón, who has won two Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammys, debuted on Tropical Songs in 1994 with “Receta De Amor,” which became her first track to reach the top 10 (No. 7). Her following eight chart hits also followed in the feat, all reaching the top 10.

The new single, made available on all digital platforms on February 10, is the first collaboration between the two Puerto Rican chart-topping artists.

“This collab with Wisin has been a great experience,” Tañón says. “So many years of love and respect for each other, and now to be able to record this song with him has been a true blessing.”

“Así es el amor” follows Tañón’s latest single, “Tú eres la razón,” with Descemer Bueno and a featured appearance by Qva Libre, released in 2016.

The tune is also the first single from the merengue singer’s forthcoming new album, due in May.

 

Following the release of her new album, Tañón will return to her native Puerto Rico for a special concert at the Coliseo in September.

“Going back to my island is always exciting,” the singer explains. “It’s been so many years since I last performed on a massive stage, and I’m preparing a grand spectacle for all of my people, so they can enjoy, sing and dance with me.”
