It’s a big week for Karol G on the Billboard charts. Her sixth studio album, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, becomes her fifth No. 1 on Top Latin Albums, while its tracks storm Hot Latin Songs, Hot Latin Pop Songs, Hot Latin Rhythm Songs and Hot Regional Mexican Songs charts (dated Aug. 22).

Starting with Hot Latin Songs, Karol pushes Bad Bunny’s “DTMF” down to No. 2. The latter has spent 72 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 since its first week on top in January 2025. That 72-week haul stands as the longest command in the history of the nearly 40-year-old tally, which mixes streaming activity, radio airplay and digital sales into its formula.

Fueled by streaming activity, Karol G’s “Ahí,” with Drake, bows at No. 1 after registering 5.9 million official on-demand streams in the United States during the tracking week ending Aug. 13, according to Luminate. That sum sends the song to a No. 46 start on the overall Streaming Songs chart and to No. 1 on Latin Streaming Songs.

“Ahí” puts Karol G and Drake back on top of Hot Latin Songs — more than two years after their last reigns. Karol’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” matched the chart’s longest run of 2024, ruling for 14 weeks (starting July that year). While Drake’s “Gently,” featuring Bad Bunny, held the crown for one week in late 2023.

The song makes waves across Billboard’s charts, debuting at No. 44 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 and No. 103 on the Billboard Global 200, powered by 11.8 million global streams. It also launches at No. 1 on Hot Latin Rhythm Songs and No. 17 on Latin Rhythm Airplay.

Back on Hot Latin Songs, Spanish newcomers Judeline and Rusowsky crash the top 10 with their first Billboard-charting entry, the co-billed “BbY WOW,” with Karol G. It opens at No. 5 with 4.5 million U.S. streams — the highest debut by a Latin act on the current chart.

“When Karol first reached out and asked me to write for the album, I was in the middle of my first arena run, so everything already felt a little surreal,” Lara Fernández Castrelo, known as Judeline, tells Billboard. “I ended up cowriting four songs, and as we worked together, I realized Karol and I were going through a very similar place emotionally.”

Judeline also has writing credits on three other No Me Arrepiento tracks that landed on the chart: “Matadora” and “Te Llevas To” at Nos. 4 and 6, respectively, while “Final Feliz” debuted at No. 14.

“When I wrote ‘Final Feliz,’ I immediately felt like it was a song she had to sing,” Judeline adds. “Then she invited me to be part of ‘BbY WOW’ with Rusowsky, someone I’ve made music with for years, which made the whole experience even more special. I’m incredibly grateful that she trusted me with so much of her world.”

With 13 songs from the album crowding Hot Latin Songs, here’s a breakdown of Karol G’s blockbuster week on the hybrid chart:
