The track reaches the summit with 3.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 13%) in the U.S. in the week ending July 25, according to MRC Data. The song is his first charting single at the format, and holds at its No. 8 peak on Latin Pop Airplay.
Prior to “Hasta El Sol de Hoy,” Figueroa has previously sent three tracks onto Latin Pop Airplay: “Por Perro” (Sebastian Yatra featuring Figueroa and Lary Over) in 2018; “La Especialista” in 2020; and then “Te Deseo” also in 2020.

Figueroa’s version appears on his album Canciones del Alma, which he released in May.
