Bad Bunny, El \u00daltimo Tour del Mundo<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>No. 1 (27 weeks), beginning Dec. 12, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>El \u00daltimo Tour del Mundo <\/em>made history as the first all-Spanish-language\u00a0release to claim the No. 1 spot on the overall Billboard 200 since its inception in 1956. The concept album that sees Benito experimenting with alternative sounds arrived as a surprise drop on\u00a0Nov. 26, 2020,\u00a0at 11 p.m. ET (marking the end of Thanksgiving Day in the United States). The set houses the enduring \u201cDakiti,\u201d with Jhayco, a 27-week No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">9. Daddy Yankee, Barrio Fino<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>No. 1 (24 weeks), beginning July 31, 2004<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Daddy Yankee claimed his first No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart with his third studio set, <em>Barrio Fino<\/em>, a project that broke boundaries by planting reggaet\u00f3n roots in spaces where only salsa once thrived. (Back then, salsa was the \u201cit\u201d sub-genre, and DY, as he\u2019s now known, changed that.) The album remains his longest leading: 27 weeks. It includes his breakthrough hit, the enduring \u201cGasolina.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">8. Juanes, Un D\u00eda Normal<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>No. 1 (4 weeks), beginning Sept. 20, 2003<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It was far from \u201cnormal\u201d for Colombian Juanes to secure a No. 1 spot on the Top Latin Albums chart,\u00a0especially after his 2001 debut studio album peaked at a modest No. 36, but <em>Un D\u00eda Normal<\/em> was a true turning point. The set marked his first chart-topper and opened the doors to a stellar career, leading to seven more top 10 albums, including four additional No. 1s. The set delivered six Hot Latin Songs hits, starting with his maiden top 10, \u201cA Dios Le Pido.\u201d Juan Esteban followed with his first of eight No. 1s, \u201cFotograf\u00eda,\u201d with Nelly Furtado.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">7. Aventura, Todav\u00eda Me Amas: Lo Mejor de Aventura<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>No. 4, Dec. 21, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Aventura broke the rules and loved &amp; hated, perhaps all part of God\u2019s project, to borrow the titles of the band\u2019s first three albums of the 21st century. The American-Dominicans established themselves as a chart force and proved lasting appeal, as greatest hits souvenir <em>Todav\u00eda Me Amas: Lo Mejor de Aventura<\/em> rose to a No. 4 high on Top Latin Albums and ran up a hefty 391 weeks on the chart over 2016-24. The set includes the Hot Latin Songs No. 1s \u201cPor Un Segundo\u201d and \u201cDile al Amor.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">6. Bad Bunny, Un Verano Sin Ti<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>No. 1 (60 weeks), beginning May 21, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With his fourth solo studio album, Bad Bunny set a new record for the biggest streaming week ever for a Latin album \u2014 surpassing the debut of his own <em>YHLQMDLG<\/em>. On Hot Latin Songs, all 23 of the LP\u2019s tracks charted upon its debut. The latter half of the album embraces Latin alternative sounds, punctuated by guests Bomba Est\u00e9reo, Buscabulla and the Mar\u00edas.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">5. Ozuna, Odisea<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>No. 1 (46 weeks), beginning Sept. 16, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ozuna captivated fans with his signature fusion of reggaet\u00f3n dancehall and Latin pop-trap through his debut studio album, <em>Odisea<\/em>. The musical odyssey ruled the Top Latin Albums chart for 46 weeks, and started him on a string of five straight No. 1s. Following the Puerto Rican\u2019s stint on Romeo Santos\u2019 \u201cSobredosis,\u201d the bachata singer returned the favor on the album\u2019s third single, \u201cEl Farsante,\u201d which was celebrated for Ozuna\u2019s distinctive voice and its seamless mix of reggaet\u00f3n with romantic undertones.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">4. Selena, Ones<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>No. 2, March 4, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite peaking in the runner-up slot on Top Latin Albums for three weeks, Selena\u2019s <em>Ones<\/em>, released posthumously in October 2002, earned the legend the top Latin albums artist of the year, female award at the Billboard Latin Music Awards in 2017. The compilation logged 455 weeks on the chart through 2024, the best showing by a woman in that span. It includes must-hear hits by the the Tejano and Latin pop star \u2014 chances are you\u2019ve belted out these at karaoke: \u201cAmor Prohibido,\u201d \u201cBidi Bidi Bom Bom,\u201d \u201cNo Me Queda M\u00e1s\u201d and \u201cT\u00fa Solo T\u00fa,\u201d all Hot Latin Songs chart-toppers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">3.

One of its standout tracks, \u201cMIA,\u201d featuring Drake and produced by DJ Luian, La Paciencia, Mambo Kingz and Tainy, not only ruled Hot Latin Songs for 16 weeks in 2018-19 but also hit No. 5 on the all-genre <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/hot-100\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Billboard Hot 100;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Billboard Hot 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">2.
