Jamaican (Bam Bam) a house/Afrobeat/EDM remix of Sister Nancy’s classic Bam Bam, produced by HUGEL and SOLTO, remains at #13 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, while slipping from #4 to #6 on World Digital Song Sales chart. The song also stays put at #12 on Billboard’s Warm Global Dance Radio chart, while inching up from #107 to #106 on Global 200, and dropping three spots down to #51 on Global Excluding US.

Looking Lovely by Shaggy featuring Robin Thicke falls from #27 to #29 on Rhythmic Airplay, while Echo (FIFA World Cup 2026) by Daddy Yankee and Shenseea climbs from #29 to #28.

Echo continues to make moves on the Billboard Latin charts as it steps up from #29 to #25 in its third week on Latin Airplay.

Pongo by Rvssian, Rauw Alejandro and Wizkid re-enters the chart at #50 after it peaked at #43 a few weeks ago. The song inches up from #13 to #12 in its 11th week on Latin Rhythm Airplay chart.

Now onto regional charts, Forevermore by Jurney Star remains at #1 on the Rebel Vibez Top Ten Canadian Reggae chart, with Shine by Elaine Shepherd holding at #2.
