The track — released through Capitol Latin — rises 2-1 in its 11th chart week, bumping Nicky Jam and Enrique Iglesias’ “El Perdon” from the perch after a marathon 30-week rule (the second-longest No. 1 run ever).

Balvin previously hit No. 1 earlier in 2015 with “Ay Vamos,” which spent one week atop the chart (dated March 7).

The Hot Latin Songs chart blends airplay, streams and sales to determine the most popular Latin songs of the week in the U.S.

“Ginza” also reigns for a fifth consecutive week on the Latin Airplay chart (with 16 million in audience impressions in the frame ending Oct. 4, according to Nielsen Music; up 2 percent).

The single holds at No. 2 on both the Latin Digital Songs and Latin Streaming Songs charts (though with gains in both measurements).

J Balvin is taking risks with his latest single…

The 30-year-old Colombian reggaeton singer has released the official video for “Ginza,” the new track he recently performed at the Premios Juventud.

J Balvin adds a bit of soca to his familiar reggaeton sound on the blazing dance track, to equally contagious effect.

“With ‘GInza’ I wanted to go beyond my comfort zone,” he said in a statement, “take a risk and bring a new sound to my music. I want to continually explore new and original ideas for Latin music…Cowards rarely make history.”

J Balvin has a jam-packed summer/fall ahead of him. After having turned down an invitation to perform at Donald Trump‘s Miss USA pageant following the presidential hopeful’s controversial remarks about Latinos, he’s instead performing at the July 25 opening ceremony of the Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles, joining First Lady Michelle Obama, Eva Longoria, and fellow headliners Stevie Wonder and Avril Lavigne.

Then, starting in September, he’ll head out on his La Familia tour with Becky G. The tour kicks off September 23 in Miami and wraps October 25 in San Diego, California.
