Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) breaks into the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart as the bilingual song “Last Breath,” his first collab with Peso Pluma, debuts at No. 5 on the chart dated April 11.
It’s the first entry for Ye on the Hot Latin Songs chart since the ranking became a multimetric chart (blending streams, sales and airplay) in October 2012. Before that, Ye claimed one entry on Hot Latin Songs when it was purely a radio airplay chart, as the featured artist on Katy Perry’s “E.T.” in 2011, peaking at No. 29.
The latest chart feat for Ye comes as the embattled rapper — who has been facing criticism for his years of antisemitic hate speech, for which he apologized in January while blaming a brain injury for his behavior — is facing backlash over his booking to headline London’s Wireless Festival. After the U.K. denied his application for entry on April 7, the festival was canceled.
While “Last Breath” is the first top 10 for Ye on Hot Latin Songs, it’s the 33rd for Peso Pluma.
“Last Breath” arrives at No. 5 on Hot Latin Songs fueled largely by streaming activity. During the tracking week ending April 2, the song registered 4.3 million official streams in the United States, as reported by Luminate. That first-week sum yields a No. 6 start on Latin Streaming Songs, also Ye’s first top 10, coming in his first appearance on the chart. Peso adds his 32nd career top 10.
“Last Breath” stems from Ye’s 12th studio album, Bully, which debuted at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard 200, while securing No. 1 positions on the Top Streaming Albums, Independent Albums, Top Rap Albums and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Notably, Peso Pluma’s contribution stands out as the sole Latin representation among the album’s five collaborations. The song was produced by Ye, Sheffmade and Ty Dolla Sign, and samples the Latin jazz track “Bésame Mamá,” written by Cuban percussionist and bandleader Ramón ‘Mongo’ Santamaría and performed by American conguero and salsa singer Poncho Sánchez (1996).
As for Peso Pluma, he extends his record run among acts that primarily record regional Mexican music to 33 top 10s, and resumes as the act with the seventh-most top 10s overall. Bad Bunny continues as the act with the most top 10s on Hot Latin Songs, with 89.
In terms of bilingual collabs, “Last Breath” stands out as the first one to debut in the top 10 since “Ojos Tristes,” by Selena Gomez, benny blanco and The Marias, debuted at No. 4 in April 2025 (the song peaked at No. 3 a week later).
Elsewhere, “Last Breath” also makes its No. 81 debut on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. Plus, it arrives at No. 155 on the Billboard Global 200.
