Billboard Top Latin Albums
Top Latin Albums (formerly Latin 50) is a record chart published by Billboard magazine since 1993. It is labeled as the most important music chart for Spanish-language, full-length albums in the American music market. To rank, an album must have 51% or more of its content recorded in Spanish.
Like all Billboard album charts, it is based on sales. Nielsen SoundScan compiles the sales data from merchants representing more than 90% of the U.S. music retail market. The sample includes sales at music stores, the music departments of electronics and department stores, direct-to-consumer transactions, and Internet sales of physical albums or digital downloads. A limited array of verifiable sales from concert venues is also tabulated. As of January 26, 2017, a multi-metric methodology to compile the Top Latin Albums chart was adopted by Billboard, which also incorporates track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units.
The first number-one album was Mi Tierra by Gloria Estefan. The longest-reigning number-one album is Debí Tirar Más Fotos by Bad Bunny, having spent 77 weeks at the top of the chart. Selena's Dreaming of You (1995–97) and Bad Bunny's YHLQMDLG (2020–22) and Un Verano Sin Ti (2022–24) are the only albums to peak at number one in three different calendar years.
Bad Bunny has the most number-one weeks for albums with 300, the most number-one debuting albums with 9, and the most number-one end-year albums with 7. Marco Antonio Solís has the most number-one albums with 12. Los Temerarios is the group with the most chart-toppers, eight. Jenni Rivera, Shakira, and Selena are the female artists with the most number-one albums with 7 each.
The current number-one album on the chart is No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto by Karol G.
