The year is officially wrapping up, and to celebrate, Billboard has compiled the ultimate Latin playlist featuring 40 songs that formed part of the year-end Hot Latin Songs chart—plus more. Titled “Adios 2023, Hola 2024,” the musical list is meant to get the party started on New Year’s Eve (Dec. 31) and to keep it going on New Year’s Day (Jan. 1).

At the top of the playlist you’ll find Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma’s global hit “Ella Baila Sola,” which peaked at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart in April and spent 19 weeks at the top. The smash hit also became the first Mexican music song to reach one billion streams on Spotify.

A phenomenal year for música Mexicana, you’ll also come across other great titles including Yng Lvcas’ sultry reggaeton “La Bebe,” Fuerza Regida’s “Sabor Fresa,” Carin León’s “Primera Cita,” and Grupo Frontera and Bad Bunny’s “unx100to,” which peaked at No. 5 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart in April.

For those who enjoy more rhythmic tunes, our curated party playlist also includes bangers such as Myke Towers’ “LALA,” Bad Bunny’s Jersey club joint “Where She Goes,” Marshmello & Manuel Turizo’s “El Merengue,” and “TQG,” Karol G and Shakira’s empowering collaboration which peaked at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart dated March 11, where it ruled for five weeks.

Moreover, there’s also a mix of inspirational tracks such as Karol’s “Que Chimba de Vida,” Greeicy’s “Espejo,” and Chino Pacas’ “Dijeron Que No La Iba Lograr” to start off 2024 fresh and motivated.

In This Season of Giving, Mariah Carey Shares Throwback Clip From 1994 Manifesting a Potential Christmas Classic One Day: ‘So Grateful’

MC only had to wait 25 years for her all-time holiday classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Mariah Carey is the undisputed Queen of Christmas. The pop singer has lorded over the holiday charts for the past six years with her ubiquitous wintertime classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It seems hard to believe it now if you’ve been anywhere near a store since Halloween, but the yuletide favorite that was released in 1994 did not chart until 2000 and did not hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 until 2019, fully 25 years after it first hit our ears.

Now, as the holidays really ramp up, the best-selling Christmas song of all time in the U.S. seems like a no-brainer to top the charts every year. But on Tuesday (Dec. 9), MC gave thanks for how it all started in a throwback video she re-posted from a fan feed of an interview she did in 1994 in which she was asked if she hopes one of the songs from her first holiday album, that year’s Merry Christmas, might some day be as ubiquitous as such standards as “White Christmas” or “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”
