Karol G Sweeps Latin Airplay Top Three

By No Excuse
Share

Karol G holds the entire top three on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart dated November 7, 2026. No artist in the chart’s 32-year history has ever swept Nos. 1, 2 and 3 with songs from a single album, and she is the only woman who has held the whole top three at all.

The Three Songs Behind The Karol G Latin Airplay Sweep

All three songs come from No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, the album Karol G released in August, which spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart. At No. 1, “BbY WOW,” her collaboration with Judeline and rusowsky, returns to the top for a third week, drawing 11.1 million audience impressions in the United States in the October 23 to 29 tracking week, up 29 percent, according to Luminate data reported by Billboard. The song trades places with “Ahí,” her collaboration with Drake, which dips to No. 2 after one week in charge, with 8.3 million impressions. “Alguien Que Te Amaba” climbs to No. 3, a new peak for the song, up 31 percent to 7.6 million impressions.

The Drake connection gives the record a Canadian thread. “Ahí” had already given Karol G her 23rd Latin Airplay No. 1 when it reached the top earlier in this album run, and it now sits one spot below her own song, which means the Toronto artist is featured on the record directly under the song that replaced it. For Judeline and rusowsky, “BbY WOW” is a first Latin Airplay No. 1, earned in the biggest radio week of Karol G’s career. Three songs, one album, three different audiences moving at the same time: that is the shape of the week, and it is why the sweep reads as an album achievement rather than a single-song spike.

A First In 32 Years Of Latin Airplay

Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart has run for 32 years, and only two acts had ever held the entire top three before this week. Bad Bunny did it on the chart dated August 3, 2019, credited on all three songs: “Callaita” at No. 1, “Que Pretendes” with J Balvin at No. 2 and “Soltera” with Lunay and Daddy Yankee at No. 3. J Balvin followed on the chart dated September 28, 2019, with “Que Pretendes” at No. 1, “No Me Conoce” at No. 2 and “China,” the all-star collaboration with Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G and Ozuna, at No. 3. Both of those sweeps were built from collaborations spread across different projects and other artists’ albums. Karol G is the third act to do it, the only woman on the list, and the first to do it with three songs from one album, her own.

“It brings me so much happiness to see how music continues to connect with people in this way,” Karol G told Billboard. In further comments reported by Billboard, she said the sweep fills her with pride and, above all, gratitude. She credited the story, the hard work and the team behind every song, and thanked the listeners who make the songs their own and take them to places the team never imagined.

BbY WOW Adds An 11th Week Atop Hot Latin Songs

The radio sweep is not the only chart Karol G is leading. “BbY WOW” adds an 11th week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, the multi-metric ranking that blends airplay, sales and streaming. That is the second-longest run at No. 1 on that chart in 2026, behind only Bad Bunny’s “DtMF,” which has led for 31 weeks this year and 72 weeks in total. Radio and streaming do not always move together, and one artist holding the top of the streaming chart while occupying the entire radio top three with three different songs is the kind of week the charts exist to record.

Label and radio executives quoted by Billboard pointed to range as the explanation. Jose Cedeño, EVP and general manager of Interscope Capitol Miami, said the three songs are connecting with different audiences at the same time, each carrying its own story and momentum, and that the label does not see them as competing with each other. Ismar SantaCruz of TelevisaUnivision, the leading Spanish-language audio network in the United States, called the achievement a testament to Karol G’s global impact and to the connection her music creates with listeners, noting that the network has supported her since the early days of her career.

One Album, Three Radio Hits At Once

No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto arrived in August and spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums. Three months later, the album is not coasting on one single: it holds the top three positions on the main Latin radio chart in the United States at the same time, something no album had produced in 32 years of that chart. The week also underlines how wide Karol G’s current reach runs. Her No. 2 song is a collaboration with Drake, the biggest Canadian artist in the world, and her No. 1 is a first chart-topper for two rising collaborators, Judeline and rusowsky. A historic first, a Canadian feature in the middle of it, and an album still building in November: this is the Latin Airplay story of the year, and it now belongs to Karol G alone.
