It’s a ‘Polaroid’ Moment for Eladio Carrión With Second Latin Airplay No. 1
Plus, La Arrolladora Banda El Limón banks 23rd chart-topper with “Si Las Miradas Mataran.”
Eladio Carrión has achieved a significant milestone, securing his second No. 1 spot on Billboard's Latin Airplay chart with his song "Polaroid." The track reached its peak position of No. 1 following an impressive 18-week climb. Prior to his latest victory in April 2024, Carrión had not topped the Latin Airplay chart since April 2024.
"Polaroid" has demonstrated resilience on the overall Latin radio chart, maintaining its position after initial fluctuations, including a dip to No. 13. The song's success is attributed to a 13% audience growth, resulting in 6.9 million impressions in the United States during the week ending August 27, as reported by Luminate. Carrión's track, which incorporates a sample from Michael Sembello's "Maniac," initially entered the charts in May, accompanying the release of his album CORSA.
The song's popularity was further amplified by its innovative use of a classic 1980s hit, which also reached the 2026 Greatest of All Time Songs of the Summer chart.
