Karol G and Drake's "Ahí" Reaches No. 1 on Latin Airplay
Karol G and Drake's song "Ahí" has climbed to No. 1 on Billboard's Latin Airplay chart, the first week it tops the list, according to Billboard. The chart is dated Oct. 31 and was published on Oct. 28.
The Latin Airplay chart ranks songs by how many listeners hear them on Latin radio stations. "Ahí" moved up from No. 2 to No. 1, replacing Karol G's own "BbY WOW" with Judeline and rusowsky, which had held the top spot for two weeks. Luminate, the company that tracks music consumption for Billboard, reported a 5% rise in all-Latin-format audience impressions, the estimated number of listeners reached, in the Oct. 16-22 tracking week.
The song came out in August on Karol G's album No Me Arrepiento De Sentir Tanto, released through Bichota and Interscope Capitol. When it arrived, it opened at No. 1 on Billboard's Latin Streaming Songs chart with 5.9 million on-demand streams.
For Karol G, the result adds to a long run. "Ahí" is her 23rd No. 1 on Latin Airplay, which puts her 10th on the chart's all-time list. Only Shakira, with 25, has more No. 1s among women. It is also her third Latin Airplay leader of 2026, after "Coleccionando Heridas" with Marco Antonio Solís and "BbY WOW." She has earned at least one Latin Airplay No. 1 every year since 2018, when "Mi Cama" and "Calypso" gave her first two.
Her other chart numbers this week are also strong. On Latin Rhythm Airplay, a related chart that focuses on urban and rhythmic Latin songs, "Ahí" reached No. 1 too. That makes it her 20th leader on that chart, tying Wisin, Yandel and Wisin & Yandel for sixth-most in its history. "Alguien Que Te Amaba" rose from No. 12 to No. 7 on Latin Airplay, with a 14% gain in audience impressions. It is her 26th top 10 on that chart.
For Drake, this is his third No. 1 on Latin Airplay. His earlier leaders were a featured spot on Romeo Santos' "Odio" in 2014 and Bad Bunny's "MIA" in 2018. On Latin Rhythm Airplay, "Ahí" is his second No. 1, after "MIA."
On the broader charts, "Ahí" sits at No. 3 on Hot Latin Songs, which ranks the most popular Latin tracks across streaming, radio and sales. It spent one week at No. 1 there. On the Billboard Hot 100, the main U.S. singles chart, it is at No. 88, after debuting at No. 44.
The result shows how a song can keep gaining radio audience months after release. Latin Airplay counts listeners rather than sales, so a rise in impressions can move a track up even when its streams are no longer at their peak. Billboard's August reporting noted that the song had fallen to No. 4 on another chart after a dip in streaming, a reminder that the same track can rank differently on different measures.
