Chileans FloyyMenor and Cris Mj score a breakthrough as “Gata Only,” their first collaboration, earns both artists their maiden No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart (dated April 20). The song climbs 2-1, four weeks after reaching the top 10 on the multi-metric chart and its subsequent entry on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 in March.
“Super happy with this achievement,” says 18-year-old FloyyMenor Advertising sign. “I am grateful to the people who supported me from the beginning. It was difficult for me to get to where I am, but we achieved one of the goals I had.”
“Gata Only” reaches No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs, which combines radio airplay, streaming and sales, aided by strong streaming activity during the April 5-11 tracking week. According to Luminate, the reggaetón tune, released on February 2 via FloyyMenor/UnitedMasters, has logged 11.11 million official streams in the US, a 33% gain from the previous week.
“Gata Only” is FloyyMenor's first entry on Hot Latin Songs and Cris Mj's third. For the latter, it is also his first top 10 chart hit.
That streaming total yields a No. 34 debut on the overall Streaming Songs chart, a debut visit for both artists, plus a second week atop the Latin Streaming Songs chart with Greatest Gainer honors of the week.
First No. 1 on First Attempt: “Gata Only” becomes the 413th No. 1 in Hot Latin Songs' 38-year history. The list boasts 47 artists, including FloyyMenor, who have secured their first No. 1 in their first visit to the chart, dating back to Kaoma's “Lambada” which dominated for seven weeks in 1990. Notably, FloyyMenors joins two other acts who accomplished the feat this decade: The Weeknd, via his collaboration with Maluma, “Hawai,” which ruled for nine weeks in 2020, and Yahritza y Su Esencia's “Soy El Único” for one week at the wheel in 2022.
TikTok Activity: Steady viral support on TikTok has also increased awareness of the song, coinciding with its rise to No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs. The track has generated over 3 million user videos to date on TikTok. Activity on TikTok is not included in the Advertising sign chart except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50, where the song climbs 10-7 on the current chart. Although TikTok is not part of the chart, the song's popularity on the platform has helped increase the track's activity on those platforms that contribute to the ranking (such as traditional streaming services such as Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube, as well as radio playback).
Global presence: In the global sphere, “Gata Only” reaches new heights. On the all-genre Billboard Global 200, it climbs 15-10, largely supported by the 59.5 million streams (up 31%) garnered worldwide in its tracking week. It is the first top 10 for both acts. Additionally, Cris Mj bests No. 29 of “Una Noche En Medellín” (April 2022).
“Just like my colleague Cris Mj, I'm very happy because we managed to take 'Gata Only' to the global level, raise the name of our country, Chile and break records,” adds FloyyMenor. “Thanks to all the people who are listening to the song and dropping their videos on socials!”
Meanwhile, “Gata” advances 9-6 in the Global Excl. American chart with 48.4 million non-US streams
Back in the US, while “Gata Only” gives both Chilean artists their first No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs, Christopher Andrés Álvarez García, better known as Cris Mj, came close to the top 10 when his remix of “Una Noche En Medellín' (Remix), featuring Karol G and Ryan Castro, peaked at No. 12 in August 2023. Cris Mj also charted with the original version of 'Una Noche En Medellín', peaking at No. .24 in 2022.
In addition, “Gata Only” makes significant progress on the Billboard Hot 100, where it enters the top 50, gaining 74-48 in its fourth week. Additionally, it re-enters Latin Digital Song sales at No. 4 after its No. 14 debut (chart dated April 6).
