Latin Pop Airplay is a
chart published by Billboard magazine that ranks the top-performing songs (regardless of genre or language) on
Latin pop radio stations in the United States, based on weekly
airplay data compiled by
Nielsen's
Broadcast Data Systems.[1] It is a subchart of
Hot Latin Songs, which lists the best-performing Spanish-language songs in the country.[2] In 1997, 17 songs topped the chart, in 52 issues of the magazine.
The first number one of the year was "
Lloviendo Flores" by
Ednita Nazario, which moved into the top spot in the issue dated January 4. It remained in place for only a single week before being replaced by "
Las Cosas Que Vives" by
Laura Pausini which had previously topped the chart in the week ending December 28, 1996,[3] and spent four further weeks at number one in 1997 for a total of five.
Enrique Iglesias was the artist with the most number-one songs in 1997 with "
Enamorado Por Primera Vez", "Sólo en Ti" (a Spanish-language adaptation of
Yazoo's "
Only You"),[4] and "
Miente". The former track held this position for the longest with ten weeks.
Alejandro Fernández and
Luis Miguel were the only other acts to have more than one chart-topper in 1997.[5][6] Fernández achieved his first number one with "
Si Tú Supieras" and had the final number one of the year with "
En El Jardín", a duet with
Gloria Estefan.[5] Estefan herself obtained her second number one with "
No Pretendo".[7]
