Selena Gomez, benny blanco & The Marías Just Topped This Chart for the First Time
Four months after its No. 1 debut on Billboard’s inaugural Hot Latin Pop Songs chart, “Ojos Tristes,” by Selena Gomez, benny blanco and The Marias, tops an airplay chart for the first time, as the song jumps 2-1 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart.
“Ojos Tristes” claims the No. 1 spot on Latin Pop Airplay driven by 8.3 million audience impressions, earned in the United States during the Aug. 8-14 tracking week, according to Luminate; that’s a 21% growth from the prior week.
“Ojos Tristes” first bowed at No. 1 on the introductory Hot Latin Pop Songs chart (dated April 12) largely fueled by 8.7 million official on-demand U.S. streams. The chart employs the same methodology as the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, where streaming data, airplay audience and digitals sales are included into its formula.
During that chart-topping week, the three-way collab also generated 1,000 downloads and retained its spot at the summit on Latin Digital Songs Sales, despite a substantial 40% decline in sales.
Now, four months later, “Ojos Tristes” has become the biggest song on Latin pop stations across the U.S. after a 17-week journey to the top. The achievement matches with Farruko’s “Cables Cruzados” (February 22), marking it the longest trek to the top on Latin Pop Airplay in 2025 and the slowest ascent since Carlos Vives and Juanes’ “Las Mujeres” also took 17 weeks to claim the top slot in December 2023.
Gomez finds her third leader on the chart, following her featured turn on DJ Snake’s “Taki Taki,” which also features Ozuna and Cardi B (2018) and “Baila Conmigo,” with Rauw Alejandro (2021). As for benny blanco and The Marias, they each claim their first No. 1 on Latin Pop Airplay through “Ojos Tristes,” the fourth single from Gomez’s and blanco’s collaborative project, I Said I Love You First. The set took the pair to a No. 2 debut on the overall Billboard 200 (April 5 list).
Building on its success atop the Latin Pop Airplay chart, “Ojos Tristes” makes progress on the overall Latin Airplay chart, where it climbs from No. 6 to No. 3, a new peak. This is Gomez’s highest position on the chart since her No. 1-peaking “Baila Conmigo” in 2021.
Returning to where “Ojos Tristes” first began its reign, the song secures a 13th week at No. 1 on Hot Latin Pop Songs.
