List of Latin songs on the Billboard Hot 100 information
Latin music in the United States is defined by both the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Billboard magazine as any release with 51% or more of its content recorded in Spanish.[1][2][a] The best performing Latin songs in the United States are compiled by Billboard since September 1986. The magazine had already a major overall songs chart titled Hot 100 since August 1958. Since 2007, the chart tracks digital sales, streaming figures and radio airplay.[5] Prior to that, the Hot 100 only measured the latter format.
Ritchie Valens' version of "La Bamba" became the first Latin song to enter the Hot 100 after its debut on 1959,[6][7][8] "Guantanamera" by The Sandpipers became the first one to reach the top 10 in 1966.[9][10] Los Lobos' version of "La Bamba" became the first one to reach the number 1 spot in 1987.
In June 2017, following the number one peak of "Despacito" in the Hot 100, Philip Bump of The Washington Post related the increasing success of Spanish-language songs in the United States since 2004 with the growth of its Spanish-speaking population, highlighting an improve from 4.9% in 1980 to 11.5% in 2015.[11] In January 2018, Leila Cobo of Billboard related the success of "Despacito" and the increase of music consumption via streaming to the rise of predominantly Spanish-language songs charting on the Hot 100.[12]
