Shakira is not done with chart achievements in 2023. The singer crowns Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart once again as “Copa Vacía,” her collab with Manuel Turizo, rises 3-1 on the Oct. 28-dated list. The new leader marks two successes in her chart career: She extends her record for the most champs by a woman, with 20, and ties Jennifer Lopez’s No. 1 record by a female act in a single year in the history of the survey, both with four leaders. Shakira also now has the most No. 1s on Latin Airplay in 2023 among all artists.
As radio airplay continues to grow for “Copa Vacía,” it ascends to the summit with 10.5 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 19, according to Luminate, that’s an 18% gain from the week prior. The song sends Venesti’s “Umaye” to No. 7 after one week in charge (down 21%, to 7.5 million).
With the jump, Shakira secures her 20th No. 1 on Latin Airplay, and fourth in 2023, the most for any woman this year. Here’s the recap of all the songs by a female artist that has reached the top of the chart thus far. Titles by Shakira are in bold type.
Peak Date, Title, Artist, Weeks at No. 1
Dec. 2, 2022, “Monotonia,” with Ozuna, six
Feb. 4, “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” with Bizarrap, four
Feb. 25, “El Pañuelo,” Romeo Santos & Rosalia, one
April 1, “Besos Moja2,” Wisin & Yandel & Rosalia, one
May 13, “TQG,” with Karol G, two
Oct. 7, “Mi Ex Tenía Razón,” Karol G, one
Oct. 28, “Copa Vacía,” with Manuel Turizo
Further, as “Copa Vacía” leads Latin Airplay, Shakira ties Jennifer Lopez’s No. 1 record by a woman in a single year (January through December Billboard chart dates), as the latter scored and equal four rulers in 2018. Among all acts, Ozuna and J Balvin tie for the most overall, with nine No. 1s in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Turizo, meanwhile, banks his eighth champ with a chart-topping rate that has soared this decade. After scoring two No. 1s between 2018-19, the Colombian has logged six leaders since 2020, including “La Bachata,” his first ruler as a soloist, unaccompanied by any other act. Plus, Turizo’s 2023 chart career has proven to be fruitful, scoring three No. 1s: “El Merengue” with Marshmello (June 10), “Vagabundo” with Sebastián Yatra and Beele (Sept. 2) and now “Copa Vacía” with Shakira. The latter also becomes his first and only No. 1 with a woman.
Beyond its coronation on Latin Airplay, “Copa Vacía” also lifts 2-1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay, while it holds solid at No. 1 on Latin Pop Airplay for a seventh week, the third-most in 2023.
