Karol G’s Complicated and Relatable Heartbreak Brought Her Back to the Top of the Charts (Critic’s Take)

It took a whole lot of heartache to bump Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos and its title track off the No.

1 spots on Billboard ’s Top Latin Albums and Hot Latin Songs chart.

But Karol G did it.

Not with hardcore perreo or the female empowerment anthems that have become her trademark, but with the vulnerability of a broken heart.

Karol G’s No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto (I’m Not Sorry for Feeling So Much) debuted at No.

1 on Billboard ’s Top Latin Albums chart (dated Aug.

22), putting an end to Bad Bunny’s reign on top with Debí Tirar Más Fotos , which hadn’t moved from the top spot since Jan.

24.

All told, that album has spent a record 77 nonconsecutive weeks atop the chart, and could easily claim that spot again.

Not this week, though: Karol G’s Me Arrepiento holds firm at No.

1 for a second week (on the Billboard 200, the album dropped from No.

8 to No.

11).

And on top of that, the Colombian star has also continued to hold “DtMF” from the top spot on Hot Latin Songs.
