[3] On October 11, 2012, the methodology for the Hot Latin Songs chart were changed to include sales of digital downloads and streaming activity as well as excluding non predominately Spanish languages from appearing on the chart.

[9] In 2000, the RIAA launched Latin certifications to acknowledge that market in the United States.
