Luis Fonsi & Feid Change Lanes With Salsa Collab ‘Cambiaré’ on Hot Latin Songs Chart

Luis Fonsi and Feid switch gears with “Cambiaré,” a salsa collab that marks pop star Fonsi’s return to Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart after four years.

“Cambiaré,” with Feid, debuts at No. 26 on the multi-metric tally powered by radio airplay and streaming activity. The track also makes a splash on the Latin Airplay chart, opening at No. 32 with 3.1 million audience impressions in the United States during the tracking week ending Jan. 29, according to Luminate. The Hot Latin Songs chart combines radio play, streaming stats, and digital sales into its formula.

The song, which was released Jan. 21 on Universal Music Latino/UMLE and teased on Luis Fonsi’s Instagram account days earlier, also registered over 800,000 official streams in the U.S. during the tracking period.

“Cambiaré” signals Luis Fonsi’s comeback to Hot Latin Songs after a four-year break; his last entry was “Bésame,” with Myke Towers, which reached a No. 32 high in Nov. 2021.

The salsa partnership marks a stylistic shift for both Luis Fonsi and Feid, who predominantly record pop and rhythmic songs, respectively.

For Feid, the new entry follows the No. 19-peaking “Monstruo,” with Tainy, last December. Back in 2016, Feid dabbled in tropical sounds with the track “La Respuesta,” featuring percussionist Diego Gale—also a Universal Music Latino project.

Beyond its top 30 debut on Hot Latin Songs, “Cambiaré” makes waves on the Tropical Airplay chart, entering at No. 6. This marks Feid’s first top 10 there, while Fonsi earns his 15th top 10—achieved entirely when the chart was station-based before its current genre-based format.
