Five months after Karol G and Peso Pluma's “Qlona” completed its fifth week at No. 1 Advertising sign'On the Hot Latin Songs chart, the collaboration climbs 2-1 and leads the Latin Airplay chart dated March 2.
“Qlona” lands at the summit with a 17 percent increase in audience impressions, to 9.54 million, earned in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 22, according to Luminate. It knocks Myke Towers' “La Falda” off the top after a week in power, falling 1-2 with a 10% drop in impressions to 9.5 million.
As “Qlona” reaches the top in its 23rd week on the chart, it completes the longest trip to the top this decade, passing the 22-week journey it took for Songs of the Two Towers to reign in 2020: “Bandido,” featuring Juhn and “Bésame”, with Luis Fonsi. (The last song to take longer to reach No. 1 was Pedro Capo and Farruko's “Calma,” which peaked in its 24th week on the chart on April 13, 2019.)
With “Qlona” at the top, Karol records her 17th career No. 1 on Latin Airplay. The new champion comes five months after her own 'Mi Ex Tenía Razón' reigned for two weeks last October. Peso Pluma, meanwhile, gets his third, after “Ella Baila Sola,” with Eslabon Armado, which ruled for one week last June.
Elsewhere, “Qlona” earns a first stint at No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay, marking Karol's 16th win. It is the second Latin rhythmic crown for Pluma, following the four-week championship “La Bebe”, with Yng Lvcas, in 2023.
Thanks to radio, “Qlona” rebounds 5-4 on the multimetric Hot Latin Songs chart — which combines airplay, streaming and digital sales — after five weeks in power.

The song, released via Bichota/Interscope, debuted on February 15 at No. 48 with just one day of activity, the last day of the previous tracking week. In its first full week of tracking, “Contigo” lands at No. 3 on the strength of streaming activity. The song generated 8.2 million during the same period, up 240% in US clicks.
That number is good enough for it to debut at No. 44 on the overall Streaming Songs chart and to have a No. 5 debut on Latin Streaming Songs.
Sales also help its second week at No. 1 on Latin Digital Songs, as the song logged 1,000 downloads after its debut week.
Notably, the new champion also secures a landmark achievement for Tiesto, who scores his first Hot Latin Songs top 10 in between two chart stints.

Beyond No. 3 on Hot Latin Songs, “Contigo” matches Karol's previous Tiesto teams on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, climbing 10-4 and mirroring the No. 4 high of “Don't Be Shy “. and “Provenza (Remix)” in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
