In Honor of Hispanic Heritage, Here Are The 20 Longest-Leading No. 1s on the Top Latin Albums Chart

Music distribution has changed over the years and so has the way it’s consumed, but one thing’s certain: Whether it’s popping a disc into your CD player or downloading an entire track list to your phone, music junkies love albums.

As a Latino millennial who grew up listening to everything from Juan Gabriel’s tearjerker songs to Selena’s empowering anthems, and who’s currently jamming to an intense reggaeton playlist, collecting CDs and/or buying a digital album has been my longtime favorite hobby (shout-out to those who relate).

With Hispanic Heritage Month in full swing, Billboard has put together the 20 longest-leading No. 1s in the history of the Top Latin Albums chart. The list includes everything from albums that we were obsessed with in the ‘90s to Bad Bunny’s YHLQMDLG and El Último Tour Del Mundo just last year.

The Top 20 Latin Albums list is ranked based on peak position on the Top Latin Albums chart from the ranking’s first chart week on July 10, 1993, to the Sept. 18, 2021-dated chart. For albums with the same number of weeks at No. 1, ties were broken by the most total weeks on the chart.   

Check out the complete list below:

1. Gloria Estefan – Mi Tierra

The Cuban singer’s album peaked at No. 1 on the July 10, 1993-dated chart, where she spent 58 weeks at the top.

2. Bad Bunny – X 100PRE

Bad Bunny’s debut studio album arrived at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart (dated Jan. 5, 2019). It went on to rule a total of 46 weeks, the second-most in the history of the 28-year-old tally.

3. Ozuna – Odisea

Ozuna made history with his debut studio album, becoming the longest-leading No. 1 by a male artist on the Top Latin Albums chart. Odisea nabbed the No. 1 spot on the chart dated Sept. 16, 2017, and ruled for 46 weeks.

4. Bad Bunny – YHLQMDLG

Bad Bunny’s third studio album landed a historic debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated March 14, 2020) as he scored the highest-charting all-Spanish-language album ever, the biggest streaming week ever for a Latin album, and the largest week for a Latin title since Billboard began tracking albums by equivalent album units in December 2014. The set continues to rule the Top Latin Albums chart in its 44th week (and counting).

5. Selena – Dreaming of You

Released posthumously, Selena’s bilingual album peaked at No. 1 on the Aug. 5, 1995-dated chart, spending 44 weeks at the top.

6. Luis Miguel – Segundo Romance

The Mexico-based crooner’s set peaked at No. 1 on the Sept. 17, 1994, tally, staying strong for 29 weeks.

7. Bad Bunny – El Último Tour Del Mundo

The surprise release earned el conejo malo his fifth straight No. 1 on Top Latin Albums, ruling for 27 weeks starting on the Dec. 12, 2020-dated list.

8. Ricky Martin – Vuelve

Ricky Martin’s heartfelt album peaked at No. 1 on the Feb. 28, 1998-dated chart and reigned for 26 weeks.

9. Daddy Yankee – Barrio Fino

Daddy Yankee brought reggaetón to the forefront with his No. 1 album (peak date July 31, 2004), remaining at the top for 24 weeks.

10. Aventura – The Last

Aventura revolutionized bachata with The Last album, which peaked at No. 1 on the June 27, 2009-dated list, where it spent 23 weeks.

11. Juan Gabriel – Los Duo 2

His duets with Marc Anthony, J Balvin and other artists nabbed Juanga the leading spot on the Jan. 2, 2016-dated chart, where it spent 20 weeks.

 12. Selena – Amor Prohibido

With timeless songs such as “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” and “No Me Queda Mas,” Selena’s album peaked at No. 1 on the chart dated June 11, 1994, reigning for 20 weeks.

13. Christina Aguilera – Mi Reflejo

Xtina made her way to No. 1 with Mi Reflejo on the Sept. 30, 2000, list, sitting tight for 19 weeks — not too shabby for her first all-Spanish album.

14. Ozuna – Aura

Aura became Ozuna’s second-longest-charting title at No. 1 with a total of 17 weeks at the summit starting on the Sept. 8, 2018-dated tally.

15. Romeo Santos – Formula: Vol. 1

Keeping bachata alive, Romeo Santos’ album peaked at No. 1 on the Nov. 26, 2011, tally and proved that “the king stays king” for 17 weeks.

16. Shakira – Fijación Oral: Vol. 1

The Colombian superstar ruled Top Latin Albums with her set for a total of 17 weeks starting on the June 25, 2005-dated chart.

17. Enrique Iglesias – Sex & Love

With the release of his 10th studio album, the Spanish pop singer ranked No. 1 on the April 5, 2014, tally, remaining on the top for 16 weeks.

18. Enrique Iglesias – Vivir

Prior to Sex & Love, Iglesias nabbed the No. 1 spot on the Feb. 15, 1997-dated chart with his album Vivir, keeping strong at the summit for 15 weeks.

19. Daddy Yankee – Barrio Fino: En Directo

Because who doesn’t like a good ol’ concert? Daddy Yankee’s live album peaked at No. 1 on the Dec. 31, 2005-dated chart for 14 weeks.

20. Marc Anthony – Libre

Salsa does not stay behind thanks to Marc Anthony, whose album peaked at No. 1 on the Dec. 8, 2001, tally and reigned for 14 weeks.

Marilyn Manson Accuser’s Rape Suit Dismissed by Judge

The lawsuit of the Jane Doe who accused Marilyn Manson of rape has been dismissed by a California state judge, according to court documents filed Tuesday, though she is being given a 20-day window to amend and refile the complaint. Manson’s attorney, Howard E. King, had filed a demurrer to the woman’s complaint in August in an effort to have it thrown out of court.

In his ruling, California Superior Court Judge Gregory Keosian found that the woman’s claims were not valid because the two-year statute of limitations pertaining to her accusations had lapsed. The woman had attempted to skirt the statute by claiming she’d repressed memories of the alleged rape, which she says occurred sometime after meeting Manson (born Brian Warner) at a pre-Grammy party in February 2011 and starting a sexual relationship with him. It wasn’t until reading a February 2021 article that discussed other sexual assault accusations against Manson, Doe said, that the incident came flooding back.

But Keosian found that the woman’s claim of repressed memories around the alleged rape — which the ruling allows “is common for sexual-assault victims” — was “not sufficient” to invoke California’s so-called “delayed-discovery” rule, which effectively postpones the start date of the statute of limitations if the plaintiff can prove that they first became aware of the injury within two years of filing their complaint, regardless of when the incident itself took place.

“Here, the Complaint alleges only that Plaintiff repressed unspecified memories at some point before reading an article in February 2021,” Keosian’s ruling reads. “The complaint alleges neither when the repression began — such as immediately after the events took place, or outside the limitations period — nor its nature or extent, such as what memories were repressed or the extent to which Plaintiff was prevented from recalling them.”

As previously mentioned, the ruling does give Doe some wiggle room, affording her 20 days to amend and refile her complaint to address Keosian’s concerns.

“Marilyn Manson wants to silence our client about her rape,” said Doe’s attorneys, Adam Wolf and Tracey Cowan of Peiffer Wolf, in a statement sent to Billboard. “He tried to use technical legal arguments to get her case thrown out altogether. The judge thoughtfully analyzed the case law, and rightfully held that her case can go forward, so long as she amends her Complaint to add some additional details. We intend to amend with those additional details very shortly, and look forward to the opportunity to make Manson answer for his actions.”

An attorney for Manson declined to comment.

In her original complaint, which was filed May 28, Doe claimed that over the course of their relationship, the musician subjected her to “degrading acts of sexual exploitation, manipulation, and psychological abuse.” She alleged that when she went to return the keys to Manson’s apartment following their breakup, Manson pushed her to the floor, and “with her face down on the carpet, and his hands on top of her,” raped her. Doe further claimed that after the alleged assault, Manson threatened to kill her and “bragged that he would get away with it” if he followed through.

Manson is currently being sued for sexual assault by three other women, including Game of Thrones actress and former girlfriend Esme Bianco, his former personal assistant Ashley Walters and another ex-girlfriend, Ashley Morgan Smithline. The lawsuits all arrived after Manson’s ex-girlfriend, actress Evan Rachel Wood, publicly named him as her abuser in February.

Manson has denied all accusations against him. In July, he filed to dismiss Bianco’s suit, claiming that she and the other women’s accusations were part of a “coordinated attack.”

Stories about sexual assault allegations can be traumatizing for survivors of sexual assault. If you or anyone you know needs support, you can reach out to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). The organization provides free, confidential support to sexual assault victims. Call RAINN’s National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE) or visit the anti-sexual violence organization’s website for more information.

Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ Returns to Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart After a Decade

Lady Gaga’s Born This Way album, released in 2011, returns to the top 10 of Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated Sept. 18) for the first time in over a decade.

The set re-enters the list at No. 10 thanks to the Sept. 3 release of the CD and cassette editions of the album’s special 10th anniversary reissue. In the week ending Sept. 9, Born This Way sold 5,000 copies in the U.S. (up 5,251%), according to MRC Data. It sold about 100 copies in the week previous. (All versions of Born This Way, including the original release and the 10th anniversary reissue, are combined for tracking and charting purposes.)

Born This Way was originally released on May 23, 2011 and debuted at No. 1 on the June 18, 2011-dated chart. It was last in the top 10 on the July 23, 2011 list. The album was reissued on June 26, 2021 via digital retailers and streaming services with six additional tracks by other artists covering the album’s songs. (Among them: Kylie Minogue and Ben Platt.) The CD and cassette editions of the reissue followed on Sept. 3, while a vinyl LP release is expected on Dec. 10.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now MRC Data. Pure album sales were the measurement solely utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Born This Way’s sales of 5,000 in the week ending Sept. 9, nearly all of the sum was driven by CD sales.

At No. 1 on Top Album Sales, veteran hard rock band Iron Maiden claims its first leader, as the act’s latest studio effort Senjutsu starts with a little over 61,000 copies sold (across CD, vinyl LP and digital downloads). The album also makes a splash across a bevy of other album charts, as it opens at No. 1 on Independent Albums, Top Rock Albums, Hard Rock Albums and Tastemaker Albums. (The latter ranks the week’s top-selling albums at independent and small chain record stores.)

Drake’s Certified Lover Boy begins at No. 2 on Top Album Sales with 46,000 copies sold, solely from digital downloads. It’s Drake’s 12th top 10 on the tally.

Olivia Rodrigo’s former No. 1 Sour is a non-mover at No. 3 with 20,000 (down 31%).

Rock band Imagine Dragons sees its newest studio album Mercury – Act 1 launch at No. 4 with 17,000 sold (across CD, vinyl LP, cassette and digital download). It’s the fifth top 10 for the act, and all of those have reached the top four on the list.

A trio of former No. 1s are next on the list, as Halsey’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power falls 1-5 in its second week (nearly 17,000; down 76%), Billie Eilish’s Happier Than Ever is steady at No. 6 (12,000; down 1%) and TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s The Chaos Chapter: Freeze dips 5-7 (8,000; down 43%).

Kanye West’s Donda descends 2-8 in its second week (7,500; down 79%) and J. Cole’s The Off-Season rises 10-9 (just over 5,000; down 28%).

Los Bukis Capture 23rd Top 10 on Regional Mexican Albums Chart With ‘La Más Completa Colección’

Amid their 25th-anniversary reunion tour, Los Bukis set foot in the top 10 of Billboard’s Regional Mexican Albums chart as La Más Completa Colección starts at No. 2 on the Sept. 18-dated survey.

The greatest-hits album is the group’s highest debut, and highest-charting album, since Íconos: 25 Éxitos also arrived at No. 2 in 2012, later peaking at No. 1.

La Más Completa Colección starts with 5,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 9, according to MRC Data. Most of the set’s opening sum stems from streaming activity. That equates to 7.9 million on-demand U.S. streams of the set’s tracks.

With La Colección arriving at No. 2, Los Bukis earn their 23rd top 10 and tie with Grupo Bryndis. Here’s a recap of the bands with the most top 10s on Regional Mexican Albums:

41, Los Tigres del Norte
33, Los Temerarios
31, Los Tucanes de Tijuana
27, Conjunto Primavera
26, Banda El Recodo de Cruz Lizárraga
24, Bronco: El Gigante de América
23, Grupo Bryndis
23, Los Bukis

The 40-title set includes hits spanning four decades of Los Bukis’ career, three of which ruled the Hot Latin Songs chart: “Y Ahora Te Vas” (one week in 1988), “Como Fui a Enamorarme De Ti” (five weeks at No. 1 in 1989) and “Mi Mayor Necesidad” (four weeks in 1992).

The six-member ensemble’s latest release also prompts a Top Latin Albums comeback. As Colección bows at No. 11 on the all-Latin genre chart, it marks the group’s first chart visit since 20 Kilates Románticos in 2015.

Colección concurrently becomes Los Bukis’ highest debut there since Íconos launched at No. 8 in 2012.

R. Kelly Threatens Accusers on Audio Recordings, Prosecutors Say

Prosecutors want a New York City jury at the R. Kelly sex-trafficking trial to hear profane video and audio recordings they say demonstrate how he threatened his victims with violence.

On one of the 2008 tapes, an enraged Kelly can be heard accusing an unidentified woman of lying to him before beginning to assault her, according to a court document filed on Tuesday (Sept. 14) in federal court in Brooklyn.

“If you lie to me, I’m going to f— you up,” Kelly says.

The star R&B singer is captured on another recording berating a second woman from Florida, identified as a “Jane Doe” he accused of stealing a Rolex watch from him, the filing says.

“You better not ever … take from me again or I will be in Florida and something will happen to you,” he says. “You understand what I’m telling you?”

Prosecutors had planned to call the second woman as a witness. But they decided against it after she “started to have panic attacks and appeared to have an emotional breakdown” while listening to the tape in preparation for her testimony, the filing says.

The defendant bragged about having “cameras everywhere” in his Chicago studio and other locations he used to keep an eye on his victims, it adds.

Kelly, now 54, has pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other charges accusing him of sexually abusing several women, girls and boys during the course of his 30-year singing career. He has vehemently denied the charges, claiming that the women were groupies who wanted to take advantage of his fame and fortune achieved through hits like “I Believe Can Fly.”

The judge indicated on Tuesday that she would grant the government’s request to use the tapes as evidence at the trial that began on Aug. 18. There was no immediate response to a message seeking comment from Kelly’s defense team.

The request came a day after another witness testified she saw Kelly in a “sexual situation” with R&B phenom Aaliyah around 1993, when she was only 13 or 14. The woman also told the jury that Kelly had sex with her when she was 15 — the latest in a series of accusers who say he sexually exploited them when they were underage.

The woman — a former backup performer for Kelly who testified not using her real name — described opening a door on Kelly’s tour bus to find him kneeling in front of Aaliyah and appearing to perform oral sex on the girl. She said she immediately shut the door and left without ever speaking to Kelly about the encounter.

The jury had previously heard a former Kelly employee testify how two fake IDs were used to clear the way for Kelly to marry Aaliyah after he began a sexual relationship with her and believed she had become pregnant. A marriage license that was put into evidence falsely listed her age as 18; Kelly was 27 at the time.

Prosecutors say Kelly wanted to use the marriage, which was later annulled, to shield himself from criminal charges related to having sex with a minor and to prevent her from testifying against him.

Aaliyah, whose full name was Aaliyah Dana Haughton, worked with Kelly, who wrote and produced her 1994 debut album, “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number.” She died in a plane crash in 2001 at age 22.

9 Burning Questions That Will Be Answered at the 2021 Emmy Awards

The Grammys have yet to win an Emmy for outstanding variety special (live), but this year’s telecast — delayed to March because of the pandemic — was warmly received. Could the Grammys finally take home an Emmy in a program category? We’ll find out Sunday when the 73rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards air on CBS.

The other nominees for outstanding variety special (live) are The Oscars (ABC), The Pepsi Super Bowl LV Halftime Show Starring The Weeknd (CBS),  Stephen Colbert’s Election Night 2020: Democracy’s Last Stand Building Back America Great Again Better 2020 (Showtime) and Celebrating America – An Inauguration Night Special (multiple platforms).

As the Super Bowl halftime headliner, The Weeknd stands to win an Emmy if that show wins. There might be some satisfaction for him in beating the Grammys, after the Grammys failed to give him a single nomination last year. The Weeknd’s megahit “Blinding Lights” was widely expected to be a leading contender.

Remarkably, Jesse Collins has three chances to win in this category. He was one of the top producers of the Grammys, the Oscars and the Super Bowl halftime show.

Here are eight more burning questions that will be answered Sunday night.

2. Will RuPaul become the first person of color to win 11 career Emmys?

RuPaul may become the first person of color to win 11 Emmys. He’s currently in a tie with Donald A. Morgan, a cinematographer and lighting director, with 10 Emmys each. RuPaul won two awards at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys for his work on RuPaul’s Drag Race and its spinoff RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked. He’s also nominated for outstanding competition program as an executive producer of the original VH1 show.

This would be that show’s fourth consecutive win for outstanding competition program. That would put it in a tie with The Voice (NBC) for second place on the all-time winners list in this category, behind only The Amazing Race (CBS), which won 10 times. Both of those shows are nominated again this year, as are Nailed It! (Netflix) and Top Chef (Bravo).

3. Will Cynthia Erivo win an Emmy for her portrayal of Aretha Franklin?

Erivo is nominated for outstanding lead actress in a limited or anthology series or movie for playing the Queen of Soul in Genius: Aretha (National Geographic). This would be Erivo’s first primetime Emmy. Her previous Emmy was for outstanding musical performance in a daytime program for a talk-show appearance promoting The Color Purple. She also won a Tony and a Grammy for that show and its cast album.

Erivo would be the fourth actress to win in this category in the 2000s for playing a real-life entertainer. The first three were Halle Berry as Dorothy Dandridge in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (2000), Judy Davis as Judy Garland in Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows (2001) and Michelle Williams as Gwen Verdon in Fosse/Verdon (2019).

Another portrayal of Lady Soul is also likely to get some awards show love. Jennifer Hudson has a good shot at an Oscar nomination for playing Franklin in Respect.

4. Will Leslie Odom Jr. beat Lin Manuel-Miranda at the Emmys, as he did at the Tonys, for their leading roles in Hamilton?

Odom won a Tony for best performance by lead actor in a musical five years ago for his role as Aaron Burr in Hamilton, beating out Lin-Manuel Miranda, who played the title role. The actors are competing again, this time for outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for their performances in the Disney+ filmed version of the theatrical blockbuster. This would be Odom’s first Emmy, following his Tony and Grammy wins for Hamilton. Miranda has already won all three of those awards and is just waiting on an Oscar to become an EGOT.

Daveed Diggs and Renée Elise Goldsberry, who won Tonys for their featured roles in Hamilton, are also nominated for Emmys in supporting categories.

5. Will Tracee Ellis Ross follow Isabel Sanford into the Emmy history book?

Ross is nominated for outstanding performance by a lead actress in a comedy series for the fifth time. Ross is vying to become just the second Black actress to win in the category, following Isabel Sanford of The Jeffersons (1981). Incidentally, Ross’ legendary mother, Diana Ross, has never even been nominated for an Emmy, despite many TV appearances over the decades.

6. Will Ted Lasso make Emmy history?

Ted Lasso won three Creative Arts Emmys and is nominated in six categories on Sunday, including outstanding comedy series. If it wins them all, upping its total for the season to nine, the series will tie two major Emmy records – most Emmys won by a comedy series in single season (Schitt’s Creek set the mark just last year) and most Emmys won by a series in its first season (The West Wing set the mark in 2000). If Lasso falls short in one category and winds up with eight Emmys, it would still tie The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2018) for the most Emmys won by a comedy in its first season.

7. Will Last Week Tonight With John Oliver win outstanding variety (talk) series for the sixth year?

That would put the HBO series in a tie with Late Show With David Letterman (CBS) for second place on the all-time winners list in this category, behind only The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Comedy Central), which won an astonishing 11 times. Both of those franchises are nominated again this year, with their current hosts – Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah, respectively.

The other nominees in the category are Jimmy Kimmel Live! (ABC) and Conan (TBS). This is the 10th nomination in the category for Kimmel’s program; it has yet to win. It’s the second nod in the category for Conan, which concluded an 11-season run in June. It too has yet to win.

8. Will Saturday Night Live win outstanding variety sketch series for the fifth straight year?

There is only one other nominee in the category — the buzzy A Black Lady Sketch Show. SNL won seven Creative Arts Emmys this year, bringing its Emmy total to 84, more than any other series in TV history. Five cast members are competing for Emmys Sunday night – Kenan Thompson, Bowen Yang, Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong. All are nominated for outstanding supporting actor or actress in a comedy series.

9. Will Bo Burnham become just the fourth person in Emmy history to win four Emmys in one year?

Comedian Bo Burnham won three awards at the Creative Arts Emmys for his work on his Netflix special, Bo Burham: Inside. He took outstanding music direction and both outstanding directing and writing for a variety special. If Burnham also wins on Sunday for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded), he will become just the fourth individual to win four Emmys in one year. The first three were Moira Demos (Making a Murderer, 2016), Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, 2018) and Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek, 2020).

But the competition in the variety special category is fierce. Dave Chappelle, who has won in this category in two of the last three years, is back with 8:46 (also on Netflix). The competition also includes Hamilton (Disney+), David Byrne’s American Utopia (HBO), Friends: The Reunion (HBO Max) and A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote (HBO Max).

Several of these entries have proven awards appeal. Hamilton won a near-record 11 Tony Awards. Its cast album won a Grammy. David Byrne’s American Utopia is set to receive a special Tony at the long-delayed Tony Awards on Sept. 26. Its cast album was nominated for a Grammy. The West Wing won four consecutive Emmys for outstanding drama series. Friends won an Emmy for outstanding comedy series.

The first stand-up special to win in this category was Chris Rock: Bring the Pain (HBO) in 1997. The next two were Dave Chappelle: Equanimity (2018) and  Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones (2020).

Burnham’s album, Inside: The Songs, reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200.
