Karol G has a knack for writing songs that can feel relatable. With lyrics on topics that range from love to heartbreak to empowerment, many of Karol’s songs have the qualities that turn a song into an anthem.
Perhaps the Colombian hitmaker’s first big anthem was “Tusa” with Nicki Minaj, which dropped in 2019. The song peaked at No. 1 for four weeks on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart becoming the first song with a female lead artist to debut atop that chart since 2016. It was also the first Latin song with all women artists to reach a billion streams on Spotify.
The reggaetón song, powered by subtle violins, set the bar so high for Karol that she was afraid she’d end up a one-hit wonder. “I was feeling all this pressure because I thought, ‘I will never be able to top ‘Tusa,’” the 33-year-old singer-songwriter told Billboard in 2021. “I stopped making music and told my team to take advantage of this song as much as we could, because I would probably be a one-hit wonder.”
The superstar recently set a record with her merengue hit “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” topping the Hot Latin Songs chart for 14 consecutive weeks, a 2024 record it shares with Xavi’s “La Diabla” and FloyyMenor and Cris MJ’s “Gata Only.” As of Oct. 29, it also secured a 15th week at No. 1 on Latin Airplay, matching the record set by Don Omar and Lucenzo’s “Danza Kuduro” and Daddy Yankee’s “Rompe,” establishing her as the female soloist with the longest reign at the top.
The truth is that Karol G couldn’t be farther from being a one-off success. Since her breakthrough year in 2016, the Grammy- and Latin Grammy-winning artist has placed 26 top 10 tracks (and counting) on the Hot Latin Songs chart, with eight of those hitting No. 1 — including “Provenza,” “MAMIII” with Becky G, the Shakira-assisted “TQG” and “Mi Ex Tenía Razón.”
Billboard‘s Latin and Español editors have ranked all 26 Karol G songs that have hit top 10 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. See which song takes the No. 1 spot below.
