This week, “Chévere (Premium Remix)” by Aria Vega and Ryan Castro remains at number one on the Top 100 Colombia Hits chart for the seventh consecutive week. The song is number 7 on the radio (1,478 plays), number 5 on Spotify (1,333,683 streams), and number 10 on YouTube (1,125,046 views).
In second place is Mr. Plata from Tumaco, and the rapper from Buenaventura, El Americano 4KT, with “Las Muñequitas” spending its week in the Top 10.
Tumaco and Buenaventura are the two most important cities on Colombia’s Pacific coast, with high rates of marginalization and serious problems with public order and drug trafficking. However, this entire coastline on the Pacific Ocean boasts one of the richest and most diverse musical cultures in the entire nation. Both Mr. Plata and El Americano 4KT are now artists with the world’s largest record label, Universal Music. The video is nearing 100 million views.
“La Villa” by Ryan Castro, which topped the chart six weeks ago, remains at number 3, while in fourth place on the Top 100 Colombia Hits we find “Ozono” by Luister La Voz, the young artist from Cartagena who has revolutionized Champeta by fusing it with urban music.
Luister “La Voz” is the headliner of the upcoming “Champetiza” festival, which brings together the biggest stars of champeta music on May 23rd in Bogotá.
Lenin Ramirez’s “Todo lo Fue” remains at number 5. The song is number one on YouTube Mexico for the second week in a row.
The top ten continues with W Sound, who holds onto the sixth position on Decibeles’ 100 Colombia Hits chart this week with “Pico y Chao.” The urban hit is number fourteen on the radio with 1,168 plays, number twelve on YouTube with 1,001,970 views, and number two on Spotify thanks to its incredible number of streams: 1,770,050.
This week, Decibeles’ Top 100 Colombia Hits chart features Kris R’s “Ganas” back at number seven, while the late Yeison Jiménez, with his hit “Destino Final,” falls to number eight.
Luister La Voz is one of only two artists this week with two songs in the Top 10. His new hit, “La María,” is the ninth most popular song in Colombia. The other is Ryan Castro, who holds the No. 1 spot with “Chévere (Premium Remix)” featuring Aria Vega, and No. 3 with “La Villa.”
Rounding out the Top 10 is Kybba with Sean Paul, Ryan Castro, and Busy Signal, with “Ba Ba Bad Remix.”
The Top 100 Colombia Hits chart compiles the 100 most popular songs across all genres each week, ranked according to streaming activity data (YouTube/Spotify) and ACR Decibeles’ real-time radio airplay monitoring.
Each of the three variables—YouTube views, Spotify streams, and radio airplay—has equal weight in the chart (33.3%).
