The Billboard Hot Latin Songs is a record chart in the United States for Latin singles, published weekly by Billboard magazine since September 6, 1986. The chart's methodology was only based on airplay from Spanish-language radio stations from its inception until the issue dated October 13, 2012, when Billboard updated its methodology to a multi-metric system, including sales of digital downloads and streaming activity in addition to airplay, as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan.
As of August 2026, the chart has had 470 different number-one singles, while 192 artists have reached number one as a lead or a featured act. Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias has the most number-one singles (27). Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny has the most weeks at number one (195), number-one debuting singles (8), top 10 singles (89), concurrent singles (29), and charting singles (192). He also has the most year-end singles at number one (4) and weeks at number one by calendar year (42).
"DTMF" by Bad Bunny is the longest-reigning single at number one (72 weeks). It surpassed "Despacito" by Puerto Rican singers Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Canadian singer Justin Bieber, the first song to spend at least 50 weeks at number one, and the longest-reigning song at number one (56 weeks) from 2017 to 2026. With "DTMF", "Dákiti", and "Me Porto Bonito", Bad Bunny is the first artist with more than two singles to spend least 20 weeks at number one.
"Propuesta Indecente" by Dominican-Puerto Rican singer Romeo Santos is the longest-running single to chart (125 weeks), becoming the first song to spend at least 70 weeks. With Dákiti, "DTMF", "Baile Inolvidable", "Eoo" and "Nuevayol", Bad Bunny is the first artist with more than two singles to spend more than 60 total weeks on the chart.
As of 2016, Enrique Iglesias is the chart's best-performing artist of all-time, followed by Mexican singers Luis Miguel and Cristian Castro, Puerto Rican singer Chayanne and Mexican musician Marco Antonio Solís. As of 2021, "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber is the chart's best-performing song of all-time, followed by "Propuesta Indecente" by Romeo Santos, and "A Puro Dolor" by Puerto Rican group Son by Four.
