List of Billboard Latin Pop Airplay number ones of 1998

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ricky Martin achieved his first chart-topper with "Vuelve" which was named the best-performing song of the year.

Latin Pop Airplay is a chart published by Billboard magazine that ranks the top-performing songs (regardless of genre or language) on Latin pop radio stations in the United States, based on weekly airplay data compiled by Nielsen's Broadcast Data Systems (BDS).[1] It is a subchart of Hot Latin Songs, which lists the best-performing Spanish-language songs in the country.[2] In 1998, 15 songs topped the chart, in 52 issues of the magazine. Due to damage to the BDS monitors in Puerto Rico caused by Hurricane Georges, the Latin Pop Airplay (along with the other Latin song charts) were not published for two weeks.[3]

At the start of the year Alejandro Fernández and Gloria Estefan were at number one with their duet "En El Jardín", which had been in the top spot since the chart dated December 13, 1997.[4] It remained on the top position for five more weeks until it was displaced by Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", the theme song from the 1997 film Titanic.[5] "No Sé Olvidar" by Fernández held this position for eight weeks and tied with Carlos Ponce's debut single "Rezo" for the longest run at number one.[6] Ponce had established himself as a soap opera actor on his entertainment career before becoming a musical artist.[7]

Estefan was the only female act to have more than one chart-topper in 1998 with "En El Jardín" and "Corazón Prohibido", the Spanish-language version of "Heaven's What I Feel".[8] Ricky Martin obtained his first chart-topper with his ballad "Vuelve" and was named the best-performing song of the year despite the track only having spent three weeks on this position.[9] Martin is the first artist in the chart's history to replace himself at number one when "Perdido Sin Ti" succeeded "Vuelve".[10] Alejandro Sanz is the only other artist with their first number one chart-topper with "Amiga Mía" while " by OV7, which was recorded as the theme song for the Mexican telenovela Mi pequeña traviesa (1997),[11] remains the group's only number one on the chart.[12] Chayanne had the final number one of the year with "".
