Tropical Airplay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TheTropical Airplaychart (formerly known asTropical/SalsaandTropical Songs) is arecord chartpublished byBillboardmagazineintroduced in 1994. The first number-one song on the chart was "Quien Eres Tu"byLuis Enrique.[1]Originally, rankings on the chart were determined by the amount of airplay a song received on radio stations that primarily playedtropical music,namely music originating from the Spanish-speaking areas of theCaribbeansuch assalsa,merengue,bachata,cumbia,vallenato,and tropical fusions. Any song, regardless of its genre, was eligible for the chart if it received enough airplay from the panel of tropical music radio stations being monitored.

Billboardrevised the methodology of the chart in January 2017. Since January 21, 2017, the Tropical Airplay chart measures airplay based on audience impressions of tropical music songs over approximately 140 Latin music radio stations.[2]Audience impressions are based on not only how often a song is played as monitored byNielsen BDSbut the ratings of the monitored stations at such time the songs are being played as measured byNielsen Audio.[3]With the change, the chart was reduced from a list of the top 40 songs to 25. The current number-one song on the chart is "La Capa" byMyke Towers.[4]
