Omar Courtz Scores First Latin Airplay No. 1 With ‘KOKO’: ‘Crazy!’
Plus, “El Culpable” scores El Fantasma a 10th No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay.
Omar Courtz reached a major milestone as he secured his first No. 1 on Billboard's Latin Airplay chart with his song "KOKO." The achievement came one week after the Puerto Rican artist scored his first Billboard chart-topper, landing at No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay. Courtz expressed his excitement, saying, "Seeing 'KOKO' reach No. 1 again is crazy!"
"And having it be my first No. 1 on Latin Airplay makes it even more special. This song has been special to me from the very beginning, so seeing how people have connected with it and how far they've taken it means so much to me. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has shown it love and continues to support it."
The week ending on October 1, "KOKO" generated 7.5 million audience impressions in the United States, an increase of 15%, according to Luminate. Released by Mr. 305/Rimas, the song marks the first chart-topper of 2026 for Mr. 305, an independent label founded by Pitbull. The Miami-based group last topped Latin Airplay with Pitbull's "Me Quedaré Contigo" featuring Ne-Yo, Lenier and El Micha in April 2020.
"KOKO" remains at No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay for a second week and holds its No. 5 position on Hot Latin Rhythm Songs for its 15th week. The song has also entered the top 10 on Hot Latin Songs for the 18th time, moving from No. 4 to No. 6.
