The Year in Charts: Here Are the Top 10 Hot Latin Songs of 2021

Billboard unveiled its 2021 Year-End Charts this week, revealing Bad Bunny at No. 1 on the Top Latin Artists chart for a third consecutive year. The Puerto Rican artist rules thanks largely to three No. 1 albums on the weekly Top Latin Albums chart (which also rank at Nos. 1-3 on the year-end Top Latin Albums recap) and multiple hits and collaborations with artists from different genres.

On the Hot Latin Songs chart, Bad Bunny’s “Dakiti,” alongside Jhay Cortez, also topped the Hot Latin Songs chart. In total, the Puerto Rican artist placed three songs on the chart, including “Yonaguni” and the Rosalia-assisted “La Noche de Anoche.”

Colombian singer-songwriter Kali Uchis, who closes the year at No. 4 on the Top Latin Artists recap, landed at No. 2 on the Hot Latin Songs chart with her viral TikTok hit “Telepatía,” which spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart.

Billboard’s year-end music recaps represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts dated Nov. 21, 2020, through Nov. 13, 2021. The rankings for MRC Data-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the titles appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology detail, and the November-November time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by MRC Data.
