Bad Bunny didn't just have a big week on the charts—he effectively became the chart. Billboard reports that, as of Tuesday, the Puerto Rican star holds all top 25 spots on the Hot Latin Songs chart, part of a 29-track invasion that follows his Super Bowl LX halftime performance. The chart, which mixes streaming, airplay, and sales, has never seen anything like it; Bad Bunny breaks Peso Pluma's record of 25 simultaneous titles. His single "DtMF" extends its run at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs to 47 weeks (the record is 56 weeks) and, fueled by a 185% streaming spike to 43 million US plays, also jumps to the top of the all-genre Hot 100.

It's not only Bad Bunny's first solo No. 1 on the chart but the first predominantly Spanish-language song by a solo artist to top the Hot 100 in its nearly 70-year history, per USA Today. Bad Bunny also holds the No. 2, 5, and 7 spots on the Hot 100 with songs featured in his Super Bowl LX halftime show medley. The artist born Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio also held all 25 spots on the Latin Streaming Songs chart and 14 of 15 on Latin Digital Song Sales as of Tuesday—for two more firsts, per Billboard.
