Omar Courtz’s single “KOKO” has topped Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart for the first time in his career, reaching No. 1 on the chart dated Oct. 3.

Market Impact

The track also logged its 17th week in the top 10 of the Hot Latin Songs chart, the longest run among Courtz’s three top‑10 entries on that list.

Courtz told Billboard that the achievement “means so much to me.” He added, “It’s a song that captures so much of Puerto Rico—our vibe, how we live, and how we enjoy music. Knowing that something so uniquely ours has connected with so many people around the world is incredible. Thank you to everyone who made it their own from the very beginning.”

According to Luminate data, “KOKO” amassed 6.6 million audience impressions during the Sept. 18‑24 tracking week in the United States, an 18 % increase over the previous week. The track displaced Jay Wheeler’s “De Lejitos,” which had held the top spot for four weeks. “De Lejitos” fell to No. 3 with 5.4 million impressions, a 6 % decline.

The single is part of Courtz’s album POR SI MAÑANA NO ESTOY, released in February. The album debuted at No. 3 on both the Top Latin Albums and Top Latin Rhythm Albums charts in March. Prior to “KOKO,” Courtz released “Si Estás Con Alguien,” which also entered the top 10 of Latin Rhythm Airplay, peaking at No. 9 in May.

Internationally, “KOKO” entered the Billboard Global 200 at No. 75 and the Global Excl. U.S. chart at No. 58 in April.

Billboard is a part of PMX Global, LLC, a subsidiary of Penske Media Corporation.
