Karol G has much to revel in this week as her fifth studio album, Tropicoqueta, storms in atop Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart (dated July 5). The set as also enters at No. 3 on the overall Billboard 200. Plus, she shatters her own record among female artists, landing 20 simultaneous songs on the Hot Latin Songs chart (18 debuts among those).
Tropicoqueta was released June 20 via Bichota/Interscope/ICLG. It debuts at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart with 57,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the tracking week ending June 26, according to Luminate.
Biggest Latin Album Streaming Week by a Woman in 2025: Of Tropicoqueta’s first week-sum, streaming activity contributes 54,500 units, which translates to 74.64 million official on-demand audio and video streams of its songs. That’s the largest streaming week this year for a Latin album by a woman. Only one other Latin album overall has had bigger streaming weeks this year — Bad Bunny’s DebÍ Tirar Más Fotos, with eight weeks larger than Karol’s opening streaming number.
Tropicoqueta’s sales also contribute another 2,000 units, while track-equivalent album activity brings in the remaining 500 units. (On Top Latin Albums, one unit equals one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.)
Thanks to Tropicoqueta bursting in at No. 1, Karol G collects her fourth consecutive chart-topper on Top Latin Albums. She enters an elite group of female artists who have achieved at least four No. 1 albums or more, after Jenni Rivera, Selena and Shakira who each boasts seven No. 1 albums, and matches Ednita Nazario, Gloria Trevi, Thalia, with four No. 1 sets each.
