The summer season not only brings longer and hotter days, but also an incredible selection of music with perfect songs to accompany all the fun activities of the most relaxed time of the year. There are many tracks that gain momentum each summer, but only a few reach the top of Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, becoming the most popular tunes of the season.
Undoubtedly, the previous recent years have produced tracks worthy of inclusion in the summer playlists of 2026: urban-flavored tracks such as “Bailando” by Enrique Iglesias featuring Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona, which took over the summer of 2014, and “El Perdón” by Nicky Jam and Enrique Iglesias, which conquered the top of the chart for 30 weeks in 2015.
Meanwhile, who can forget the global phenomenon that was “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, whose impact transcended beyond 2017 and to date continues to be heard around the world?
Nor can we fail to mention the Mexican music hit “Ella Baila Sola” by Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma, which swept the summer of 2023. In addition to the phenomenon of “Gata Only,” which won Top Latin Song at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Award, and with which FloyyMenor and Cris MJ made history as the first Chileans to enter the top 10 of the chart in 25 years.
From “Despacito” to “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” and beyond, here are all the songs that were crowned No. 1 hits on the Hot Latin Songs chart each year between June and August.
Editor’s Note: The list includes all of the songs that were No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart during each summer season (June, July and August only) since 2014. when “Bailando” prevailed as the first major Latin summer hit in history.
