‘Ay! San Miguel’: Romeo Santos & Prince Royce Cheer Third Latin Airplay No. 1

Romeo Santos and Prince Royce have achieved a remarkable feat, securing a third No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart with their collaborative song "Ay! San Miguel" from their album Better Late Than Never. The track ascends two spots, reaching the top position on the week ending September 26, marking Romeo Santos' 25th chart-topper and Prince Royce's 22nd. The song also dominates the overall Latin Airplay chart, climbing from the second place after six weeks in the top 10.

The song has garnered impressive audience impressions, reaching 7.2 million in the United States during the tracking week ending September 17, marking a 16% increase. This success has propelled "Ay! San Miguel" to the top spot on the Latin Airplay chart, pushing ARIA VEGA and Ryan Castro's "Chévere" down to No. 10 after one week. The collaboration between ARIA VEGA and Ryan Castro is considered a significant achievement for both artists, as it marks their first Billboard No. 1 together.

The success of "Ay! San Miguel" brings Romeo Santos' record for the most No. 1s by a tropical act on the Latin Airplay chart to 25, while Prince Royce's tally increases to 22. This accomplishment comes after the release of Better Late Than Never, which debuted at Nos. 2 and 1 on the Top Latin Albums and Top Tropical Albums charts, respectively, in December.

The album's success is reflected in "Ay! San Miguel's" consistent performance on the Tropical Airplay chart, reaching a seventh consecutive week at No. 1, following the success of tracks "Lokita Por Mí" and "Dardos."
