Karol G logra su 23º No. 1 en Latin Airplay con ‘Ahí’ junto a Drake

Karol G has once again demonstrated her dominance on the Latin music airwaves by securing her 23rd No. 1 hit on Billboard's Latin Airplay chart with the track “Ahí,” a collaboration with Drake. The song climbed from No. 2 to the top spot on the chart dated October 31, replacing Karol G’s own “BbY WOW,” which had held the position for two weeks. This achievement cements her status as one of the most successful artists in the history of the chart.

Released in August as part of her album "No Me Arrepiento De Sentir Tanto," “Ahí” benefited from a 5% increase in audience impressions across all Latin formats during the tracking week from October 16 to 22, according to data from Luminate. The track’s ascent to No. 1 marks a significant milestone, allowing Karol G to surpass Prince Royce and move into the tenth spot for the most No. 1 hits on the Latin Airplay chart overall.

Among female artists, only Shakira has garnered more No. 1s, holding 25 to Karol G’s 23. This distinction highlights Karol G's sustained influence and continued commercial success in Latin music. Notably, 2026 has already been a prolific year for her, with “Ahí” becoming her third chart-topper after earlier hits “Coleccionando heridas” with Marco Antonio Solís and “BbY WOW.”

Karol G first made waves on this chart in 2018, when she attained her initial No. 1 positions with “Mi cama” alongside J Balvin and Nicky Jam, as well as “Calypso,” a collaboration with Luis Fonsi and Stefflon Don. Since then, she has consistently earned multiple chart-topping singles every year, reflecting her enduring appeal and adaptability within the genre.

For Drake, “Ahí” represents his third No. 1 on the Latin Airplay chart, adding to his earlier successes with “Odio” featuring Romeo Santos in 2014 and “MIA” with Bad Bunny in 2018. This collaboration marks a notable cross-over moment, reinforcing Drake’s presence within Latin music circles.

The song’s impact is also felt on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart, where “Ahí” rose to No. 1, representing Karol G's 20th No. 1 on that specific chart. This achievement ties her with renowned acts Wisin, Yandel, and the duo Wisin & Yandel for the sixth-highest number of No. 1 hits in the chart’s history. For Drake, it marks his second No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay, following “MIA.”

Beyond airplay charts, “Ahí” reached No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, where it previously spent a week at the summit. It also made an appearance on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 44 and currently positioned at No. 88. This crossover success underlines the track’s widespread resonance.

Karol G’s momentum continues with another single, “Alguien que te amaba,” which is rapidly rising on the Latin Airplay chart, moving from No. 12 to No. 7 in the latest rankings. This track’s 14% increase in audience impressions marks Karol G’s 26th top 10 entry on the chart, further solidifying her prolific output and consistent audience engagement.

Karol G’s steady accumulation of chart-topping hits over the past several years reflects her ability to blend traditional Latin sounds with contemporary influences, while collaborations with high-profile artists like Drake expand her reach. As she edges closer to Shakira’s record for most No. 1 hits by a woman on Latin Airplay, her career trajectory exemplifies sustained relevance and strategic artistic partnerships.

While the precise details of her future projects remain limited, this latest chart success with “Ahí” underscores Karol G’s position at the forefront of Latin music and her continuing impact on the genre’s global footprint.
