“Tu Recuerdo” is the second ruler from Maluma’s seventh studio album Loco X Volver, following “1+1,” with Kany García, which became his first salsa No. 1 among his five coronations on Tropical Airplay. His featured turn on Elvis Crespo’s merengue “Ole Brazil,” marked his first No. 1 on the tally in 2014.
“Tu Recuerdo” reaches No. 1 with 5.4 million audience impressions, up 6%, earned across the tropical-reporting stations in the United States during the tracking week ending July 16, according to Luminate.
The song is the second by a core Latin rhythmic artist to top Tropical Airplay in 2026, following Arcángel’s merengue cut “Hoy Se Guaya,” which led for a week in June. Adding on, Maluma becomes one of only three solo acts, with no accompanying billed artist, to reach No. 1 among the chart’s eight leaders this year, joining Arcángel and Carlos Vives, whose “Te Dedico” ruled for three weeks between May and June.
Beyond its Tropical Airplay success, “Tu Recuerdo” earns Maluma a 34th top 10 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, with a 13-10 jump.
The track also climbs to a new No. 2 high on Hot Tropical Songs and rises 40-37 on Hot Latin Songs. Both tallies combine radio airplay, streaming data and digital sales into their formulas.
