Rauw Alejandro starts strong with “GuabanSexxx,” which bounds in atop Billboard’s Hot Latin Pop Songs chart (dated Sept. 27).
The ranking blends streaming, radio audience and sales data, with “GuabanSexxx” debuting fueled largely by streams: 2.5 million official U.S. clicks in the week ending Sept. 18, according to Luminate.
Alejandro’s Hot Latin Pop Songs first coronation follows “Carita Linda,” which hit No. 2 in April, when the chart began.
“GuabanSexxx” also makes its first appearance at No. 17 on Hot Latin Songs, marking his milestone 75th entry on the chart. He boasts 16 top 10s on the survey, rising to No. 2 bests with “Qué Pasaría…,” with Bad Bunny, last November and “Todo de Ti” in 2011.
The new single also debuts at No. 2 on Latin Digital Song Sales.
“GuabanSexxx,” which draws inspiration from Guabancex, the Taíno goddess of storms and chaos, is from Alejandro’s sixth studio album, Cosa Nuestra: Capítulo 0, due Friday (Sept. 26). The song follows two tracks from the set that each reached Hot Latin Songs: “Carita Linda” (No. 23 peak in April) and “Buenos Términos” (No. 18 in August).
“GuabanSexxx” also bows at No. 7 on Hot Latin Rhythm Songs, eclipsing the No. 8 start and peak for “Buenos Términos.”
