With nearly 100 million records sold worldwide over his illustrious 20-year solo career, Justin Timberlake is no stranger to seeing his name printed atop Billboard charts spanning from Pop to R&B and everything in between.
And while his devoted fans are impatiently waiting on official news regarding the follow-up to 2018’s chart-topping ‘Man of the Woods’ album, the 10-time GRAMMY winner has been tiding them over with guest appearance on other artists’ songs like the Calvin Harris cut ‘Stay With Me’ (which also features Pharrell Williams and Halsey) as well as the more recently released ‘Sin Fin’ led by global hitmaker Romeo Santos.
Excitement for the latter saw it explode onto Billboard charts this week, landing at #1 on multiple Latin radio charts. Look inside to see how the placement of the bilingual hit marked a milestone for both Santos and Timberlake.
Although Timberlake has seen his name listed on Latin charts before, the #1 arrival of ‘Sin’ marks the first time he’s ever topped a Latin tally.
Found at the pinnacle of this week’s Tropical Airplay and Latin Airplay lists, ‘Sin’ ups Justin’s total count of topped American charts to 35+. That number includes reigns atop major charts like the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 as well as 10 radio charts (Adult Contemporary, Adult Pop Airplay, Adult R&B Airplay, Dance/Mix Show Airplay, Latin Airplay, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, Pop Airplay, Rap Airplay, Rhythmic Airplay and Tropical Airplay). Thanks to its #100 opening on this week’s Hot 100, ‘Sin’ also becomes the 37th placement of his solo career on that chart.
Timberlake wasn’t the only one enjoying career milestones thanks to ‘Sin,’ however.
Billboard reports the bachata anthem comes as Santos’ 17th #1 on the Tropical Airplay charts (the fourth-most in history) and 21st on the Latin Airplay (the seventh-most in history).
The song is found aboard Romeo’s latest project – the ‘Fórmula, Vol. 3’ LP (which not only debuted at #1 on Tropical Albums but also landed at No. 2 on the Top Latin Albums chart).
