It’s the second collaboration for the two artists, who previously paired up for the top 10 hit “Bella y Sensual” (2018), which also features Daddy Yankee.

“Fan De Tus Fotos” makes its way to No. 1 boosted by a 38% increase in audience impressions, to 9.8 million, earned in the week ending April 25, according to MRC Data.

The new chart champ gives Jam his 15th No. 1 and Santos, who last led the tally in 2019 with “Aullando,” his 18th.

Here’s a recap at the acts with the most leaders:

In addition to the single’s coronation on Latin Airplay, “Fan de tus Fotos” pounces to No. 1 on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart as well. There, it becomes Jam’s 13th leader and Santos’ third.

“Fan” was produced by Sky Rompiendo with Saga Whiteblack as sound engineer, and was written by both Jam and Santos alongside other acts.
