Carín León & Alejandro Fernández Double Up on No. 1s With ‘Me Está Doliendo’

Carín León and Alejandro Fernández team up for a second No. 1 with “Me Está Doliendo,” as the song tops Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart (dated Sept. 20) almost a month after the pair claimed the top spot on the Regional Mexican Airplay ranking with the same track.

“Me Está Doliendo” surges 8-1 on overall Latin Airplay chart with a 10 million audience impressions earned in the United Stated in the week ending Sept. 11, according to Luminate: that’s a 58% gain from the week prior. Plus, it takes over with the Greatest Gainer honors, awarded weekly to the song with the largest impressions among the 50 songs on the tally.

With a 58% growth, León replaces himself at No. 1 on Latin Airplay as “Me Está Doliendo” ejects “Vivir Sin Aire,” his collab with Maná, out of the top 10. The song drops to No. 11 after a 38% decline in audience (to 5.8 million). León becomes the second artist to replace himself at the summit in 2025. Colombian Kapo’s “Más Que Tú,” with Ozuna, ceded the throne to “Imagínate,” with Danny Ocean, on the April 26-dated ranking, both crowned Latin Airplay for one week.

“Me Está Doliendo” becomes León’s fourth chart-topper on Latin Airplay in 2025 –he’s placed six overall. In addition to the above-mentioned coronations, the singer ruled through one-week champs, “El Amor De Mi Herida” and “Ahí Estabas Tú” in March and May, respectively.

For Fernández, “Doliendo” marks his 12th No. 1, breaking his tie with Marco Antonio Solis for the most chart-topping songs by a regional Mexican artist since Latin Airplay began in 1994. Among all, J Balvin continues to lead with 38 No. 1s.

Beyond its Latin Airplay coronation, “Doliendo” adds a second week atop Regional Mexican Airplay with 8.9 million impressions (up 58%) during the tracking period.

Thanks to its radio haul, the song soars from No. 49 to No. 20 on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, claiming a new peak. This marks Fernández’s highest position this decade, matching the success of “Caballero” in 2020. The chart blends radio airplay, streaming data and digital sales to determine its ranking.
