The track improves 17 percent in audience impressions to 10.2 million.

With “Clandestino,” Shakira pads her record as the female with the most top 10s since the chart began on November 12, 1994. Likewise, with her 30 top 10s, she extends her record as runner up for the second-most act overall, following only Enrique Iglesiaswith 39.

For Maluma, the boost earns him his 10th top 10.

Notably, this is Shakira’s first new top 10 in a little less than a year. Her song “Perro Fiel,” featuring Nicky Jam, previously spent 17 nonconsecutive weeks in the top 10 from November 25, 2017 through April 28, 2018, leading the tally for four straight weeks (December 23, 2017 – January 6, 2018).

Meanwhile, Maluma scores his fourth new top 10 of the year, and his previous three top 10s in 2018 all hit No. 1, too. He previously crowned the chart with “Corazón” with Nego do Borel(January 27, two weeks at No. 1), “El Préstamo” (June 2, two weeks at No. 1), and as featured act on Prince Royce’s “El Clavo” (September 1, one week at No. 1).
