A week after Bad Bunny placed the first No. 1 from new album Debí Tirar Más Fotos on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, the Puerto Rican notches a second champ, as “DtMF” climbs 5-1 to lead the list dated Jan. 25, for his 16th ruler to date. The album’s title track replaces “Nuevayol,” which drops 3-1 after one week in charge.

By knocking his own song from the podium, Benito becomes the only act to replace itself at No. 1 five different times on Hot Latin Songs, since the chart launched in 1994.

The Puerto Rican’s self-replacement streak begun in 2019 when “La Canción,” with J Balvin, ceded the throne to his own “Vete” (Dec. 7, 2019-dated ranking). “Moscow Mule” followed, trading places, after one week atop, with “Me Porto Bonito,” with Chencho Corleone (list dated May 28, 2022). As the latter finished its 20-week coronation in October 2022, it was ejected from the penthouse when “Titi Me Preguntó” begun its 14-week domination on the Oct. 15, 2022-dated tally. A year later, Bad Bunny’s featured role in Drake’s “Gently,” a one-week leader, yielded a new replacement, trading places with the 10-week ruler “Mónaco” (Oct. 28, 2023).

In total, nine acts have replaced themselves at No. 1 in the chart’s 38-year history, which blends airplay, digital sales and streaming activity. Out of those, in addition to Bad Bunny’s five self-replacements, two artists have replaced themselves at the summit at least twice: Ozuna (2018, 2019) and Karol G (2022, 2023).

“DtMF” vaults at No. 1 with the Greatest Gainer/Streaming honors in its first full tracking week. It registered 34.9 million official streams, and 2,000 sales downloads in the week ending Jan. 16, according to Luminate. Those sums yield a No. 1 on the overall Streaming Songs and Latin Streaming Songs charts, plus a No. 16 start on the Digital Song Sales and a 2-1 jump on Latin Digital Song Sales.

Beyond its Hot Latin Songs coronation, “DtMF” rallies 38-2 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, his highest rank since “I Like It,” with Cardi B and J Balvin, topped for one week in July 2018.

Further, as “DtMF” leads, Benito extends his Hot Latin Songs record among Latin rhythm artists, with 16th No. 1s, tying with Luis Miguel for the second-most, both behind Enrique Iglesias who still holds the most champs to date, 27.
