‘1+1’ Adds Up to No. 1: Maluma & Kany García Lead Latin Airplay, Tropical Airplay Charts

It’s a big week for Kany García who celebrates a double triumph as “1+1,” with Maluma, claims the No. 1 spot on both the Latin Airplay and Tropical Airplay charts (dated May 2). The dual victory marks García’s first No. 1 on each ranking. Maluma adds a 26th Latin Airplay chart-topper and fourth on Tropical Airplay.

“1+1” is the first single from Maluma’s seventh studio album, Loco X Volver, expected for a May 15 release via Sony Music Latin. The Colombian announced the album (on April 27) on his Instagram account as “something super important for me” and a return to his essence with a project he has worked on for two years. “I missed that dreamer boy,” he says. “I am strong, happy. This has helped me heal.”

“1+1” takes the lead on both charts after a 40% airplay surge, earning 9.3 million audience impressions in the United States during the tracking week ending April 23, according to Luminate.

The song becomes the third salsa track to reach the top spot on both charts in 2026, following Luis Fonsi and Feid’s “Cambiaré” and Marc Anthony and Nathy Peluso’s “Como En El Idilio.” While both songs ruled the overall Latin Airplay chart for a single week in April, “Como En El Idilio” dominated Tropical Airplay chart for three consecutive weeks.

García achieves double success with her Maluma partnership. She previously reached a career-best No. 15 high on the Latin Airplay chart with “Feliz” in 2009. On Tropical Airplay, “1+1” marks her fourth top 10 hit, following the No. 7-peaking “Búscame,” with Carlos Vives, in 2021.

For Maluma, “1+1” adds to his solid track record, marking his 26th Latin Airplay No. 1 –his last being “Bronceador” (one week atop in Oct. 2025). On Tropical Airplay, “1+1” extends his dominance, after securing three No. 1 entries, each reigning for one week between 2014-16.
