This week, “Chévere (Premium Remix)” by Aria Vega and Ryan Castro holds onto the number one spot on the national chart and marks its eleventh week at the top of the Top 100 Colombia Hits, the chart that measures the combined performance of songs on radio (airplay provided by Decibeles), Spotify (audio on-demand), and YouTube (video on-demand).
This week, “Chévere (Premium Remix)” received 1,171 radio plays, 1,083,311 YouTube views, and 1,039,298 Spotify streams.
Aria Vega is one of the headliners of the Feria de las Flores concert in Medellín on August 8th at the Atanasio Girardot Stadium. The show, promoted as the biggest event of the Medellín festivals, also features other music stars, including Varón León, Silvestre Dangond, Grupo Niche, Felipe Peláez, and Luis Alfonso.
Tickets are now on sale at Tu Boleta, and the concert is produced by Diomar García Producciones.
In second place, and surprisingly making a comeback on the chart, is “La Villa” by Ryan Castro, Kapo, and Gansta. The song reached number one on Decibeles’ Top 100 Colombia Hits chart earlier this year. “La Villa” garnered 1,528 radio plays, 776,995 YouTube views, and 945,333 Spotify streams.
Mexican artist Lenin Ramírez, with “Todo Lo Fue,” after making one of the most strategic moves in the Top 10 last week, drops one spot to third.
Thanks to his passionate performances and the contemporary sound of his corridos, Ramírez, born in Culiacán, Sinaloa, is recognized as one of the most popular stars of the genre and is now conquering Colombia.
“Todo Lo Fue” is currently number 4 on Billboard’s Mexico Songs chart.
Luister La Voz moves to fourth position with “La María,” and Shakira’s “Dai Dai Dai” featuring Nigerian artist Burna Boy makes a spectacular jump from number 10 to number 5. The World Cup anthem is the most played song on the radio, with 2,088 plays across the country according to Decibeles, and number 1 on YouTube with 2,522,446 views. However, the situation is different on Spotify, where it only managed 552,054 streams this week.
For a song to be a true hit on the Top 100 Colombia Hits chart, it must simultaneously and consistently achieve optimal numbers across the three variables used to compile the list: radio, YouTube, and Spotify. If one of these variables is lacking, it will be reflected in its final position on the chart. This is the case this week with “Dai Dai Dai,” which, despite being number one on radio and YouTube, doesn’t have enough Spotify streams (552,054) to secure a better position. So, this week, Shakira and Burna Boy have to settle for fifth place on the Top 100 Colombia Hits chart.
The rest of the Top 10 is as follows:
No. 6: “Pico y Chao,” W Sound
No. 7: “Ozono,” Luister LA Voz
No. 8: “Te Entiendo,” Maizak
No. 9: “Ganas,” Kris R.
No. 10: “Las Muñequitas,” Mr. Plata and El Americano 4KT
The Top 100 Colombia Hits chart compiles the 100 most popular songs across all genres each week, ranked according to streaming data (YouTube/Spotify) and ACR Decibeles’ real-time radio airplay monitoring.
Each of the three variables—YouTube views, Spotify streams, and Decibeles airplay—has equal weight in the chart (33.3%).
