\n\tJay Wheeler\u2019s \u201cDe Lejitos\u201d is no longer distant from the No. 1 spot, as the song jumps 2-1 on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Latin Airplay chart (dated Aug. 29). The new chart-topper arrives just five months after the Puerto Rican led the overall Latin radio ranking in March.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2019De Lejitos\u2019 is a special song for me,\u201d Wheeler shares with Billboard<\/em>. \u201cToday it\u2019s a success because it went from being my daughter Aiunii\u2019s favorite to becoming a favorite among all my fans, long before my team and I decided to officially release it. Every time I release music, I do it with the intention of getting everyone to dance, sing, and be happy listening to my songs, and reaching No. 1 on Billboard<\/em> simply fills me with great pride.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDe Lejitos\u201d lands at the summit on Latin Airplay with 6.7 million audience impressions earned in the United States during the Aug. 14-20 tracking week, according to Luminate; that\u2019s a 4% growth from the week prior.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDe Lejitos\u201d began its chart journey with a top 20 debut on the Hot Latin Songs chart in April, holding in the top 10 for nearly 11 straight weeks. Its only detour from the upper region came during Karol G\u2019s blockbuster debut week (dated Aug. 12), when songs from her album No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto<\/em> flooded the multi-metric tally, sending the song from No. 7 to No. 18, and back to the top 10 on this week\u2019s chart, at No. 8, from streaming gain.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Latin Airplay, \u201cDe Lejitos\u201d spent three weeks in the top 20 before landing at No. 2 last week. With its new ruling result, Wheeler ups his chart-topping count to four No. 1s. It follows \u201cViendo El Techo,\u201d \u201cDos Tragos,\u201d and its latest \u201cSi Te Vas,\u201d with Jay Balvin, all one-week champs between 2021-26.<\/p>\n

Band El Recodo Revives Antonio Aguilar\u2019s 1958 \u2018La Cama De Piedra\u2019 For No. 1:<\/strong> Elsewhere on the Latin charts, Banda El Recodo de Cruz de Liz\u00e1rraga picks up its 21st No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay with \u201cLa Cama de Piedra.\u201d The new reworked version of Antonio Aguilar\u2019s hit, released in 1958, was produced by his son Pepe Aguilar and Alfonso \u2018Poncho\u2019 Liz\u00e1rraga, band leader.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLa Cama de Piedra\u201d rises after a 10% gain in impressions, to 5.9 million, earned during the tracking week. The song trades places with Xavi\u2019s \u201cDosis\u201d which leaves the top spot after an equal 10% decline, to 5.6 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith its 21st Regional Mexican Airplay No. 1, Banda El Recodo now claims seven leaders in the \u201820s \u2014the most that it has earned in any decade, following two in the 1990s and six each in the 2000s and \u201810s. The group also ties with Intocable for the fourth-most champs since the chart began in 1994. Here\u2019s the list of champs:<\/p>\n

No. 1s, Artist<\/strong>
29, Calibre 50
22, Banda MS de Sergio Liz\u00e1rraga
