Nicky Jam and Beéle‘s “Hiekka” ascends 5-1 on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart dated Sept. 13. The track marks Nicky Jam’s return to the top spot after more than three years and gives Beéle his first No. 1 there.

“Heikka,” released May 2 on Nicky Jam/Virgin Music Latin, is Jam’s first Latin Rhythm Airplay entry under his new label, since signing a global deal with Virgin Music Group in February. The track also secures a first No. 1 since the partnership, adding to his tally of 14 prior chart-toppers achieved during his time with Sony Music Latin.

“Heikka” leaps from No. 5 to the top of the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart boosted by a 17% growth in audience impressions, to 7.2 million, earned in the United States, during the Aug. 28-Sept. 4 tracking week, according to Luminate. The favorite among Latin rhythmic radio stations, also marks a milestone for Virgin Music Latin with its first entry and No. 1 on the chart.

Nicky returns to the No. 1 spot on Latin Rhythm Airplay after a three-year hiatus, since “Ojos Tristes” led for one week in 2022. In between, he secured four top 10s (33 overall), including the No. 3-peaking “Toy a Mil” in 2023.

“Heikka” marks Beéle’s first No. 1 hit, following three previous top 10 Latin Rhythm Airplay entries, two of which charted in 2025: “Me Refe,” with Ovy on the Drums (peaked at No. 8 in April), and “La Plena (W Sound 05),” with W Sound and Ovy on the Drums (No. 9 high in July).

Elsewhere, “Heikka” takes Jam to a new high in over three years on the overall Latin Airplay chart, where it climbs 9-3. Beéle scores his highest since “Vagabundo,” with Sebastián Yatra and Manuel Turizo, landed at the summit for one week in 2023.

Beéle made headlines on Tuesday (Sept. 9) when a sexually explicit video appearing to include the Colombian singer and his ex Isabella Ladera leaked online. While Ladera accused the artist of leaking the video, Beéle’s legal team released a statement saying he “did not leak said material nor participate in its dissemination.”
