Rosalía Scores Solo Latin Airplay No. 1
Rosalía’s “Despechá” reaches No. 1 on the Latin Airplay chart thanks to a 19% increase in audience impressions, to 9.3 million, earned in the United States in the week ending Oct. 2, according to Luminate. It concurrently spends a second week atop Tropical Airplay.
The recent single needed just eight weeks to crown Latin Airplay, marking the fastest trek for the Spaniard to the chart’s pinnacle among her five No. 1s.
In addition to “Despechá” serving as her fourth consecutive leader on the chart, it checks off a new milestone for Rosalía: It becomes her first No. 1 — and stands as her first entry — on the ranking unaccompanied by other acts. Of her previous four chart-toppers, three were collaborations with her in a lead role (Ozuna on “Yo X Ti, Tu X Mi,” Bad Bunny on “La Noche de Anoche” and The Weeknd on “La Fama”) while she was featured, alongside Farruko, on Sech, Daddy Yankee and J Balvin’s “Relación.”
