Colombian Newcomer Kapo Cracks His First No. 1 on a Billboard Chart With ‘Ohnana’
It’s a big week for Colombian newcomer Kapo, who earns his first No. 1 on any Billboard chart with “Ohnana,” as the song jumps 2-1 to crown the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart (dated Nov. 2). It also nearly misses the crown on the overall Latin Airplay chart, rising 3-2.
“Ohnana” gave Kapo his maiden visit to any Billboard ranking when it debuted on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. tally in July. A month later the song peaked at No. 30 (Aug. 31-dated list), the same week he became Billboard’s Latin Artist on The Rise, and the track also reached the No. 60 mark on the Billboard Global 200 chart.
Kapo celebrates his first No. 1 on his Billboard chart career with 7.2 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. in the tracking week ending Oct. 24 for “Ohnana” (up 12%), according to Luminate. The song ejects Feid’s “Sorry 4 That Much” from the summit and sends it to No. 4, following its one-week reign.
“Ohnana” joins “Passoa” at its No. 18 peak on Latin Rhythm Airplay, Kapo’s first team-up with Jhayco. The latter is one of 29 tracks from Le Clique: Vida Rockstar (X), Jhayco’s third studio album which gave the Puerto Rican his third straight top 10 on Top Latin Albums and Latin Rhythm Albums in September.
“Ohnana” also reaches its No. 2 peak on the Latin Airplay chart, where Kapo joins nine other soloists who have reached the top two on the overall list in 2024. Here’s the recap of the 10 artists and their songs, where only Karol G makes for a female representation:

Arthur Hanlon Returns To The Top 10 on Tropical Airplay with Youtuel and Darell: Elsewhere on the Latin charts, pianist and songwriter Arthur Hanlon is back in the top 10 on Tropical Airplay with “Repetimos,” his first Youtuel and Darell-team-up, that climbs 11-9 in its fifth week.
The song, which marks Hanlon’s first top 10 on a radio ranking in over a decade, rises to the top 10 despite a 2% dip in audience impressions, to 1.4 million, earned in the U.S. in the tracking week ending Nov. 24.
“Repetimos” is Hanlon’s third top 10 and first since 2013, when “I’ll Be There (Allí Estaré),” featuring Karlos Rose, landed at its No. 3 high. The arranger, previously reigned with “La Gorda Linda,” featuring Tito Nieves, for one week in 2005.
For Youtuel and Darell, both artists pick up their first top 10 performance on the tropical radio ranking. While the Orishas lead singer also scored a top 10 on a radio tally in 2024 through “Fría,” with Enrique Iglesias (No. 3 peak on Latin Pop Airplay in May), Puerto Rican Darrell last secured a top 10 almost a year ago, with the Ozuna and Maluma three-way, “Lollipop” (No. 7 on Latin Rhythm Airplay in December 2023).
