List of Latin songs on the Billboard Hot 100
in the United States is defined by both the Recording Industry Association of America and Billboard magazine as any release with 51% or more of its content recorded in Spanish. The best performing Latin songs in the United States are compiled by Billboard since September 1986. The magazine had already a major overall songs chart titled Hot 100 since August 1958. Since 2007, the chart tracks digital sales, streaming figures and radio airplay. Prior to that, the Hot 100 only measured the latter format.
Ritchie Valens' cover version of La Bamba became the first Spanish-language song to enter the Hot 100 after its debut on January 3, 1959. "Guantanamera" by The Sandpipers became the first predominantly Spanish-language song to reach the top ten of the chart in September 1966. "Eres Tú" by Mocedades is credited as the first completely-Spanish-language song to reach the top ten of the chart after peaking at number nine on March 23, 1974, a milestone that was replied 44 years later by Bad Bunny's "Mía" featuring Drake, which also holds the record for the highest debut for a Spanish-language song after entering at number five on October 27, 2018. As of October 2017, only three primarily Spanish-language songs had topped the Billboard Hot 100: "La Bamba" by Los Lobos in 1987, "Macarena" by Los del Río in 1996, and "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber in 2017.
In June 2017, following the number one peak of "Despacito" in the Hot 100, Philip Bump of The Washington Post related the increasing success of Spanish-language songs in the United States since 2004 with the growth of its Spanish-speaking population, highlighting an improve from 4.9% in 1980 to 11.5% in 2015. In January 2018, Leila Cobo of Billboard related the success of "Despacito" and the increase of music consumption via streaming to the rise of predominantly Spanish-language songs charting on the Hot 100.
