The Top 20 Latin Pop Songs of All Time

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we countdown the Billboard Charts' biggest no. 1 Latin pop hits

In October 1994, five years before the "Latin Pop Explosion" was making headlines, Billboard recognized the power of pop in Spanish with the inauguration of the Latin Pop Songs airplay chart.

Today, as part of our continuing Top Latin Songs of All Time series honoring Hispanic Heritage month, we give you the Top 20 Latin Pop Songs list, revealing tracks that have reigned at No. 1 for the most weeks on the Latin Pop Songs chart.

The Top 20 Latin Pop Songs rankings are based on peak positions on the Latin Pop Songs airplay chart from the survey's first chart week on Oct. 8, 1994 to the Sept. 23, 2017-dated chart. For songs with the same number of weeks at No. 1, we then ranked them by most weeks in the top 10, then most total weeks on the chart.
