The track climbs to No. 1 in its fourth week on the list, which launched in 1994.
“Si Te Vas,” released in August through Sueños Globales/Capitol/Interscope Capitol, climbs to No. 1 after a 19% growth in audience impressions, earning 8.2 million in the United States during the tracking week ending March 12, according to Luminate. The song made its debut at No. 32 on the overall Latin Airplay chart during the final week of February (dated Feb. 28) and quickly broke into the top 10 the following week, landing at No. 9 — the biggest jump in 2026 so far. On the chart dated March 14, it continued its upward course, climbing 9-3 before landing at the summit.
“It’s an honor to be part of ‘Si Te Vas’ alongside J Balvin, whom I admire and respect,” Wheeler adds. “He has been partly an inspiration for my musical career, and knowing that we are No. 1 validates that romanticism and reggaetón continue to connect in a solid way not only with our fans but with anyone who listens to the song.”
Plus, it earns Wheeler his third chart-topper. The Puerto Rican previously pulled a double win in 2021, as “Viendo El Techo” and “Dos Tragos” took the top spot in August and December, respectively, that year. In between, he scored two No. 3-peaking entries between 2022 and 2025.
“Si Te Vas” also adds a second week atop Latin Rhythm Airplay. It earned Wheeler his second champ since 2021, when it jumped 2-1 on the March 14-dated ranking.
Thanks to its radio haul, the song makes a big leap on Hot Latin Rhythm Songs, where it rallies 24-12.
Shakira Extends Record Among Women, Ties Enrique Iglesias
On the latest Latin Pop Airplay chart, Shakira’s “Algo Tú,” with Beéle, debuts at No. 5. With the new entry, Shakira ties with Enrique Iglesias for the most top 10s in the history of the 32-year-old tally, both with 46 top 10s.
Plus, Shakira solidifies her dominance among women, widening the gap between the next closest contender, Ednita Nazario, who holds 19 career top 10s.
“Algo Tú” arrives with 3 million audience impressions registered during the tracking period, marking Shakira’s first appearance in nearly a year. Her previous entry was the No. 3-peaking “Bésame,” with Alejandro Sanz, in June 2025.
Beéle, meanwhile, earns his fourth Latin Pop Airplay top 10 and first since “Cobarde,” with Sofía Reyes, in 2024 (No. 3 high).
