It’s been less than half a year since Selena Gomez released her latest album I Said I Love You First, a collaborative project with her fiancé Benny Blanco, who has enjoyed great commercial success as a producer and songwriter. The alternative and acoustic pop project did not turn out to be as huge as many of her past sets, and the title only lived on the Billboard charts for a handful of frames before disappearing entirely.
The album may be gone, but one of its songs has enjoyed a surprisingly lengthy life on a handful of tallies in the United States. Months after I Said I Love You First underwhelmed, Gomez, Blanco, and one of their collaborators score a new champion.
“Ojos Tristes” Jumps to No. 1
Gomez rises to No. 1 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart. Her single “Ojos Tristes,” which also credits Blanco and the band The Marías, lifts from No. 2 to the top spot 17 weeks into its time on the radio roster.
Selena Gomez Earns Her Third No. 1
“Ojos Tristes” marks Gomez’s third No. 1 on the Latin Pop Airplay list. While Gomez is primarily known for her English-language, top 40-leaning pop sound, she has scored several wins in the Latin space before.
She first led the charge back in 2018 with “Taki Taki,” which was produced by DJ Snake and also featured Ozuna and Cardi B. Three years later, she joined Rauw Alejandro on the track “Baila Conmigo.”
“Ojos Tristes” earned both Blanco and The Marías their inaugural leader on the Latin Pop Airplay list.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Several Radio Hits
Gomez and Blanco have reached Latin Pop Airplay together previously, as several years ago they collaborated on Blanco’s tune “I Can’t Get Enough.” That cut, which also featured Tainy and J Balvin, worked its way to No. 14 back in 2019, though it did spend one more frame on the list when compared to “Ojos Tristes,” at least so far.
Gomez has earned 15 career appearances on the Latin Pop Airplay list, including with several of her general pop favorites such as “Come & Get It,” “Same Old Love,” “The Heart Wants What It Wants,” and “We Don’t Talk Anymore” alongside Charlie Puth.
“Ojos Tristes” Leads Multiple Billboard Charts
“Ojos Tristes” remains the big hit on several of Billboard’s Latin rankings months into its tenure. As it climbs to No. 1 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart, the single reaches a new high on the Latin Airplay list, ascending from No. 6 to No. 3. The tune once again leads the Hot Latin Pop Songs roster and improves to No. 18 on the general consumption Hot Latin Songs list.
