Spaniards Judeline and rusowsky earn their first No. 1 on the overall Latin radio ranking. Karol G banks her 22nd chart-topper, cementing her rank as the woman with the second-most leaders (trailing Shakira’s 25). “Bby WOW” becomes the first song by a Spaniard act to hit No. 1 on the overall Latin Airplay chart in over a year —since Quevedo shared the crown with Myke Towers through “Soleao” for one week in Aug. 2025. Previously, Quevedo dominated the Latin Airplay for four consecutive weeks with Bizarrap’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 52” in 2022. That year, two other songs by a Spaniard artist led the tally: Rosalía’s “La Fama,” featuring The Weeknd, and her own “Despechá” landed on top for one week each in May and October, respectively. In the tracking week ending Oct. 8, “Bby WOW” registered 7.9 million audience impressions in the United States, according to Luminate. With a 13% increase, it sends last week’s leader, Omar Courtz’ “KOKO,” to No. 3, after the latter’s dip by a 12% in impressions, to 6.5 million. On a global level, “BbY WOW” adds a fifth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 as the song rebounds 3-1 (with 46.2 million streams and 1,000 units sold), and 2-1 on Global Excl. U.S. chart (34.4 million streams outside the U.S.). The song’s global renewed success leaves a mark as well. It breaks from a tie with Bizarrap and Quevedo’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 52” for the longest domination by a song billed to a Spaniard act —since Global 200 launched in late 2020. Only one other track sung in Spanish has accrued more weeks on top: Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma’s “Ella Baila Sola” pulled six weeks at No. 1 in 2023.
