Myke Towers has added another milestone to his already impressive career as “5 Estrellas,” his collaboration with W Sound and Ovy on the Drums, officially reaches No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart, becoming the most-played Latin song on U.S. radio this week.

The achievement marks Myke Towers’ 17th career No. 1 on Billboard Latin Airplay, further solidifying his standing among the most consistent chart performers in contemporary Latin music. The single has steadily built momentum since its release, emerging as one of the year’s defining radio records through a combination of commercial appeal, strong production, and widespread audience support.

The success extends well beyond Billboard’s flagship Latin radio ranking. “5 Estrellas” remains No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart for a second consecutive week, while continuing to dominate Spanish-language radio nationwide. The record has also spent five consecutive weeks atop Monitor Latino’s U.S. Urban chart, while simultaneously leading both the U.S. General and U.S. Pop-Rhythmic rankings for two straight weeks.

The collaboration pairs Myke Towers’ melodic delivery and lyrical versatility with the polished production of Colombian hitmaker Ovy on the Drums, while showcasing the growing influence of W Sound, the music platform founded by streamer and entrepreneur Westcol alongside Ovy. The project continues W Sound’s strategy of bringing together established artists and producers to create records capable of competing at the highest commercial level across Latin music.

“It’s always special to see a song connect with people like this,” Myke Towers said. “I’m thankful to W Sound, Ovy, everyone who was part of this record, and especially to the fans and radio stations that continue supporting my music. Every No. 1 means a lot, and it motivates me to keep raising the bar.”

The latest chart achievement arrives during an especially active period for the Puerto Rican star. Myke is currently traveling across Europe on his Myke Towers Europe Tour 2026, performing throughout Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and the Netherlands while appearing at several of the continent’s largest summer music festivals.

That international touring schedule follows a series of high-profile career moments that have expanded his reach beyond traditional music releases. In recent months, Myke Towers appeared on the cover of Esquire España’s Summer Issue, teamed with Bizarrap for a highly anticipated BZRP Music Sessions, and released “UNA NA’ MA'” as the official anthem for LALIGA RECAP26, further strengthening his crossover presence across entertainment and sports.

The timing is notable because it reflects how Myke Towers has evolved from one of Latin urban music’s breakout stars into one of its most dependable commercial performers. While many artists rely heavily on streaming to drive success, “5 Estrellas” demonstrates that sustained radio support remains a valuable indicator of long-term audience engagement. Reaching 17 Latin Airplay No. 1 records places Myke in rare company and reinforces his ability to deliver songs that resonate across multiple demographics.

The record also highlights the growing influence of collaborative creative platforms like W Sound. Rather than operating as a traditional label, W Sound has positioned itself as a curator of high-profile collaborations, leveraging Ovy on the Drums’ production pedigree and Westcol’s digital influence to build records with global reach. As Latin music continues embracing creator-led business models, projects like “5 Estrellas” illustrate how new platforms are beginning to compete alongside established industry players.

For Ovy on the Drums, the success adds another major credit to a résumé already filled with some of Latin music’s biggest hits. His production continues to shape the sound of contemporary urbano, helping bridge reggaeton, Latin pop, and melodic trap into records that perform across streaming services and traditional radio alike.

With 17 Billboard Latin Airplay No. 1 singles, an expanding international touring footprint, and a steady stream of cross-industry collaborations, Myke Towers continues to reinforce his position as one of the defining artists of modern Latin music. If the momentum surrounding “5 Estrellas” is any indication, his current run shows little sign of slowing down.
