Kali Uchis storms in at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, as “Igual Que Un Angel,” with Peso Pluma, opens atop the Jan. 27-dated ranking. The song leads the collection of 12 tracks that parade in on the multimetric tally, all from her second all-Spanish-language album, Orquídeas, which debuts at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums, Latin Pop Albums, Top Albums Sales and Vinyl Albums.
All 14 tracks from the album are on Hot Latin Songs, including the holdover “Labios Mordidos,” with Karol G, which flies from No. 36 to No. 14 as the Greatest Gainer of the week in sales and streams, and “Muñekita,” with El Alfa and JT, which re-enters at No. 36.
The Peso Pluma team-up “Igual Que Un Ángel” leads the new recruits, tracing its No. 1 debut to 13.4 million official U.S. streams, logged during the Jan. 12-18 tracking week, according to Luminate.

“Labios Mordidos” with Karol G, meanwhile, flies up the list to No. 14 with 4.2 million U.S. clicks, up 110%, and re-enters Latin Streaming Songs at No. 18. The song also registered 2.5 million audience impressions – well below the threshold of the overall Latin Airplay chart, though it advances 22-19 on Latin Rhythm Airplay.
“Igual Que Un Ángel” gives Uchis her second leader on Hot Latin Songs, which blends airplay, streaming activity and digital sales. Her first Peso Pluma collab lands at No. 1 over two years after “Telepatía” dominated for eight weeks in 2021.
