Karol G replaces herself at No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “Ahí,” her collaboration with Drake, climbs (2-1) past her two-week leader, “BbY WOW,” with Judeline and rusowsky, on the latest Oct. 31-dated chart.

“Ahí,” released in August on her album No Me Arrepiento De Sentir Tanto (via Bichota/Interscope Capitol), becomes her 23rd career No. 1 on the chart thanks to a 5% increase in all-Latin-format audience impressions in the Oct. 16-22 tracking week, according to Luminate.


With the achievement, Karol G surpasses Prince Royce for the 10th most No. 1s in the chart’s history. Among women, she trails only Shakira, who has 25. It’s also her third No. 1 of 2026, following “Coleccionando Heridas,” with Marco Antonio Solís, and “BbY WOW” She has earned multiple No. 1s every year since 2018, when she tallied her first two leaders, “Mi Cama,” with J Balvin featuring Nicky Jam, and “Calypso,” with Luis Fonsi and Stefflon Don.

“Ahí” also earns Drake his third Latin Airplay No. 1, following his featured turns on Romeo Santos’ “Odio” in 2014 and Bad Bunny’s “MIA” in 2018.

The song doubles up on the radio front, also rising to No. 1 on this week’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart. It’s Karol G’s milestone 20th leader on the tally, tying Wisin, Yandel and Wisin & Yandel (credited separately as an official duo) for the sixth-most in the chart’s history. It’s also Drake’s second Latin Rhythm Airplay No. 1, after “MIA.”

Elsewhere on the charts, “Ahí” ranks at No. 3 on the multimetric Hot Latin Songs, where it spent one week at No. 1, and sits at No. 88 on the Billboard Hot 100 after debuting at its No. 44 peak.
