Omar Courtz Notches First Latin Airplay No. 1 With ‘KOKO’
Omar Courtz achieved his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart with KOKO, which climbed to the top of the Oct. 10-dated ranking. The track drew 7.5 million U.S. audience impressions in the week ending Oct. 1, according to Luminate, and gave Mr. 305/Rimas its first chart-topper since 2020. El Fantasma also earned his 10th Regional Mexican Airplay No. 1 with El Culpable.
Omar Courtz's "KOKO" moved from No. 3 to No. 1 on the Oct. 10 Latin Airplay list, marking his first leader there. A week earlier, it had become his first Billboard No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay. During the week ending Oct. 1, it earned 7.5 million U.S. audience impressions, a 15% gain. The Mr. 305/Rimas release also gave that Pitbull-founded label its first Latin Airplay No. 1 since April 2020.
El Fantasma collected his 10th Regional Mexican Airplay No. 1 as "El Culpable" jumped 14-1 with 6.9 million impressions, up 106%. He ties Edén Muñoz for fifth among solo men, behind Christian Nodal, Gerardo Ortiz, and Carín León. The leap was 2026's fourth-largest rise to No. 1 on that chart.

These chart milestones may raise Omar Courtz's visibility among Latin music listeners and radio programmers, possibly creating more opportunities for newer Puerto Rican acts. Mr. 305/Rimas could gain renewed industry attention as an independent label. El Fantasma's regional Mexican success may reinforce the genre's radio presence and encourage similar artists. Fans and executives may view the results as evidence of shifting tastes, though a single chart week cannot predict lasting cultural or commercial influence.
