To sum up, the artists who chart for the first time ever are Quevedo, Ethel Cain, Expresso Transatlântico, RAYE, 070 Shake and Weyes Blood.

The only song that rises this week is Cabiria's Una costumbre ancestral, proving to be kind of a sleeper after debuting at #1 and falling abruptly. The high amount of entries also means that a lot of tracks are left out this week. Some remarkable ones are Marta Sango and Rakky Ripper's La Corriente, which spent 14 weeks on the chart and became both artists' biggest hit yet; and Shygirl's Honey, which peaked at #2 and also turned to be her breakthrough. But the song that stood out the most was Safety Trance and Arca's El Alma Que Te Trajo, which peaked at #1 for three weeks and spent 25 weeks on the chart. It ties Doja Cat's Say So and Maria Sioke's Bambambam as the song with the longest chart run. El Alma Que Te Trajo is currently the top 5 song on the overall leaderboard.
