Latin Artists Ruled the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in 2017, YAS!
Latinos were basically the rulers of 2017, and the Billboard’s Hot 100 list proves it. After all, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s summer hit “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, was the longest number one song since Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day.”
For the week of Nov. 18th on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, four Latin artists ranked among the top ten: Camila Cabello’s “Havana” parked in the No. 3 spot; Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” made it to No.4; Demi Lovato’s “Sorry Not Sorry” sat at No.8; and J. Balvin’s “Mi Gente,” featuring Beyoncé, worked it at No. 9.
Cardi B made history in September as the first female rapper to top the Hot 100 chart at number one without a featured act, on “Bodack Yellow.”
Cabello hit the top of the carts with “Havana.” J.Balvin joined them with “Mi Gente.”
Yas baby!
