Latin Rhythm Airplay is an airplay-only chart published weekly by Billboard that ranks the most popular songs being played on Hispanic rhythmic/hurban radio stations in the United States.
[1] The music typically heard on these stations include reggaeton, Hispanic R&B and hip hop, rhythmic pop/dance, and crossovers from English-language and/or bilingual acts.
The chart was introduced the week of August 13, 2005, and came about as a result of radio stations tapping into the growing second and third generation Hispanic audience who wanted a Spanish-speaking or bilingual alternative to the (English-language mainstream, rhythmic, and R&B/hip-hop) formats that they felt would represent them.
[5] Ivy Queen became the first woman to top the chart in 2008, when her single "Dime" reached number one.
[7] As of March 2016[update], "Danza Kuduro" by Don Omar featuring Lucenzo is the longest-leading song with 29 weeks at number-one.
