Echo rises on Billboard Latin chart

Echo (FIFA World Cup 2026) by Daddy Yankee and Shenseea has given the dancehall artiste her first charted single on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart.

On the latest tally, the song moves from #18 to #6 in its fifth week on the chart. Over on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay, Echo slides down from #26 to #27 in its sixth week.

Now back to the Latin Airplay chart, Pongo by Jamaican producer Rvssian, Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro, and Wizkid, inches up from #45 to #44. It fares better on both Latin Airplay and Hot Latin Rhythm Songs, dipping two places on each chart to land at #22 and #12 respectively.

Sister Nancy’s 1982 hit Bam Bam has been reconstructed into a head-bopping dance/Afrobeats/high-energy dance nugget as Jamaican (Bam Bam) by producers HUGEL and SOLTO.

This week the song remains at #11 on Billboard’s Hot/Dance Electronic Songs chart, while slipping from #10 to #11 on Billboard’s Global Dance Radio chart.

Over on Billboard’s Global 200, it rises from #108 to land at #80 in its 12th week, while on Global 200 Excluding US, it steps up from #59 to #37.

Jamaican (Bam Bam) debuts at #19 on Billboard’s Germany Hot 100, while jumping back in at #21 (after peaking at #17) on Billboard’s Romania Hot 100.

Spin by American R&B singer Kevin Ross, produced by Jamaican producer Kheilstone, continues its upward trajectory on the Billboard charts. It moves up from #35 to #29 in its fourth week on R&B/Hip Hop Airplay, while stepping up from #8 to #6 on Adult R&B Airplay.

Over on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, Bob Marley and the Wailers continue their dominance at #1 for 337th non-consecutive week with Legend.

All the albums from last week’s chart remain unchanged.

Cucumba by Tugstar spends a second week at #1 on the Reggae North Canadian Top 20 Reggae and Dancehall chart. Meanwhile, Student of a Broken Heart by Exco Levi stays put at #2, while Legato’s Reggae Music Nice steps up to #3. Slow Down by Jah Mila rises to #4 and Rise Up by Belinda Brady earns a new peak at #5.

Medi by Empress Divine is the sole new entry at #20.

Butterflies by Buju Banton leads the South Florida Reggae chart for a third week, while Riding Through the Storm by Wayne Stoddart climbs to #10. I Will be Fine by Dona V debuts at #23 and Let There Be Light by Freddie McGregor steps in at #24.

Over on the New York Reggae chart, Butterflies by Buju Banton clocks four weeks at #1. Satisfaction Guaranteed by Tony Gold bolts from #6 to #4, while Is There Something on Your Mind by Tony Roy makes its way in at #29. Emotional Roots by Chardel Rhoden is #30.

And finally, The Voice of the Caribbean’s Florida Reggae and Dancehall Top 20 Radio Singles chart, sees Masicka dominating the #1 spot for a sixth week with Slip N Slide.

Rising from #7 to #2 is Ting Loud by Protoje and Masicka, while Buju Banton’s Butterflies, which spent one week on top, slides down to #3.

Hold Him Gyal by Elephant Man steps to #4 and God and Time by Vybz Kartel bolts from #10 to #5.

Volcano by Spice makes its entry at #20.
