Colombia Now Has Its Own Billboard Hot 100 Chart: ‘An Invaluable Tool’

For the first time, Colombia has its own Billboard chart of the 100 most-listened-to songs. Billboard Colombia Hot 100 debuted on Oct. 29 and has been receiving weekly updates on the Billboard Colombia website and its social media platforms ever since.

The new ranking is based on data collection ranging from radio airplay to streaming, sourced from Luminate — the world’s most reliable data collection service — along with support from ACR Decibeles, Colombia’s leading radio monitoring service that analyzes in real time the most listened-to music on radio, television, and digital platforms.

This week, two hits from Blessd alongside other international stars are leading the top spots: “YOGURCITO REMIX (feat. Kris R., ROA)” with Anuel AA, Yan Block, Luar La L, Kris R. and ROA, at No. 1, and “Como Oreo” featuring Fuerza Regida and Ovy On The Drums, at No. 2. Following are “Quédate” by Beéle (No. 3), “Dónde” by Kapo and Ryan Castro (No. 4), and “Ba Ba Bad Remix” by Kybba, Sean Paul, Ryan Castro, and Busy Signal (No. 5).

The Billboard Colombia Hot 100 chart marks a historic milestone by shining a global spotlight on the major contributions of Colombian icons such as Karol G, Maluma, and J Balvin, while celebrating the country’s rich musical heritage. The chart appears partially on Billboard‘s official website, where the top 25 positions can be viewed, while the full list is exclusively available on Billboard Colombia‘s site.

“In a nation celebrated for its diverse array of genres, from cumbia, salsa, and vallenato to música popular, joropo, and pop, the new chart will not only highlight the most popular hits but also provide meaningful analysis of the cultural phenomena shaping Colombia’s music industry,” the publication said in a statement. “With the Hot 100, Billboard Colombia will provide an invaluable tool for artists, producers, managers, executives, entrepreneurs, industry professionals, and fans, further strengthening the country’s vibrant music scene.”
