'Ahí Estabas Tú' claims the top spot on the overall Latin Airplay chart with 8.2 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. during the May 9-15 tracking week, according to Luminate –that's a 21% gain from the previous week.

'Ahí Estabas Tú' marks León's second champ of 2025. Previously the Hermosillo, Sonora-born singer-songwriter took command of Latin Airplay for one week through 'El Amor de Mi Herida' (March 22-dated list).
With a second ruler in 2025, León is only the second soloist to have two No. 1s on Latin Airplay this year unaccompanied by another act. Earlier in 2025, Bad Bunny topped the chart twice with his solo tracks 'El Clúb' and 'Baile Inolvidable,' each reigning for two weeks in February and March, respectively.
In total, four artists have secured two No. 1 hits in 2025 so far. Between Benito's two chart-toppers, Myke Towers claimed the No. 1 spot with 'Otra Noche' featuring Darell, for one week in February. He followed up with another No. 1 hit, 'Degenere,' which features benny blanco, leading for one week on the May 3 chart. Meanwhile, Colombian Kapo placed back-to-back champs as 'Más Que Tú,' with Ozuna, ceded its place to 'Imagínate,' with Danny Ocean, on the April 26 list, both one-week rulers.
Beyond his Latin Airplay coronation, León also takes 'Ahí Estabas Tú' to the summit on Regional Mexican Airplay, where it jumps 2-1, his eighth No. 1 overall. He ties Eden Muñoz for the fourth-most rulers among soloists in the 2020s decade. They trail Christian Nodal who leads with 17 No. 1 this decade, Gerardo Ortiz follows with 13, and Alejandro Fernández with 12 leaders.
All charts (dated May 24, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, May 20. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Sir Elton John: Labour treating musicians ‘like s---'
Sir Elton John has accused Labour of treating musicians 'like s---' in an impassioned attack on the Government over its approach to artificial intelligence (AI). The 78-year-old singer said ministers had ignored the pleas of artists after the Government suffered an unprecedented fifth defeat in the House of Lords over plans to allow tech companies to train their AI models on copyrighted materials. Speaking at a Billboard event in London, Sir Elton said: 'The entertainment business in this country brings in £125bn a year and they are treating us like s---. They're treating us like idiots.' The Rocket Man singer accused ministers of having their 'heads in the sand', adding: 'In fact, the Labour Party at the moment should be called the Ostrich Party.' The Government has been locked in a protracted standoff with the House of Lords over the Data Bill, which would grant tech companies access to any copyrighted materials unless the rights owner explicitly opts out. Supporters of the bill, who include former Meta executive and deputy prime minister Sir Nick Clegg, say the legislation is needed to support Britain's emerging AI industry. But the plans have sparked a furious response from the creative industries, including high-profile figures from the arts such as Dua Lipa, Kate Bush and Sir Ian McKellen. They have warned that the new laws would amount to 'giving away' work to tech firms and put the UK's creative sector at risk. Baroness Kidron, a former filmmaker who directed Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, has led opposition against the Bill in the Lords. Her amendment would force tech companies to be transparent about what material they use to train AI models. Peers voted by 221 votes to 116 in favour of the proposal last night. This embedded content is not available in your region. Credit: Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg – BBC One The standoff raises the risk that the entire bill could be shelved unless ministers accept the amendment or put forward their own proposals as a compromise. Sir Elton branded the political stalemate an 'existential issue' and a 'f---ing mess'. He thanked members of the House of Lords for backing the amendment, saying: 'Thank you so much, you guys. You rock.' He added: 'Copyright must be transparent and it must have an artist's full permission. These two principles are the bedrock of the industry and they must be included in the Data Bill as a backstop.' While Sir Elton attacked the Government over its approach to copyright and AI, he said: 'We're not against Labour and we want a solution that brings all parties together in a way that is transparent and fair and allows artists to maintain control of their work.' He added that the creative industries were 'not anti-AI [and] not anti-big tech either'. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology has been contacted for comment.

Edward Burra: Tate Britain curator on ‘queer life, joy and desire' in artist's work ahead of major retrospective
A top art curator has reflected on the unique appeal to LGBTQ art lovers of Edward Burra ahead of an exhibition of the artist's work at the Tate Britain next month. Edward Burra – Ithell Colquhoun, which runs from 13 June–19 October 2025, will showcase Burra's work alongside the works of fellow British great Ithell Colquhoun. This will be the first retrospective of Burra's work in London in 40 years. Burra, according to Tate reps, is renowned for his vibrant, satirical scenes of the uninhibited urban underworld and queer culture during the 'Roaring Twenties.' Thomas Kennedy, Curator, Modern British Art, Tate Britain tells Attitude: 'Edward Burra was a British artist who vividly captured the queer nightlife of Paris and the south of France during the 'Roaring Twenties'. 'In Paris, he immersed himself in gay-friendly bars and clubs lining streets like Rue de Lappe. His work Rue de Lappe (1930) depicts men dancing together in a club, embodying the era's spirit of queer liberation. 'He also painted sailors on leave in the sun-drenched south of France, as seen in Three Sailors at a Bar (1930). Burra and his bohemian friends were 'sailor mad', incited by the risqué stories found in French books and films. 'Though Burra's sexuality remains ambiguous – he lived at a time when homosexuality was illegal in the UK – his art pulses with depictions of queer life, joy and desire.'

Elton John says ‘we will not back down' in awards speech addressing AI concerns
Sir Elton John said 'we will not back down' in an awards speech where he pleaded with the UK Government to 'do the right thing' by strengthening copyright protections when artificial intelligence (AI) models learn from creatives' content. The Government has repeatedly rejected changes to the Data (Use and Access) Bill, proposed by the House of Lords, aimed at strengthening protections for the creative sector. Peers have attempted to amend the Bill by adding a commitment to introduce transparency requirements, aiming to ensure copyright holders are able to see when their work has been used and by who. Veteran rock singer Sir Elton, 78, who picked up the Creators' Champion Award at Billboard's Global Power Players Event on Wednesday, is among hundreds of creatives who have raised concerns over AI companies using copyrighted work without permission. In an Instagram post he thanked the US magazine for the award and said: 'Supporting the next generation of British artists is one of the major driving forces in my life. 'As everyone in that room was aware, the Data Bill is currently looming over our industries and the future livelihood of all artists. It is an existential issue. 'Earlier this evening, the Government was defeated for an unprecedented fifth time by the House of Lords who have backed the crucial amendment to the Bill. 'I am now calling on the Government to do the right thing and get transparency added to the Bill. 'Administration of copyright must be transparent. And it must have an artist's full permission. These two principles are the bedrock of our industry. They must be included in the data Bill as a backstop. 'Let's be clear – we want to work with the Government. We are not anti AI. We are not anti big tech. We are not against Labour. We want a solution that brings all parties together in a way that's transparent, fair and allows artists to maintain control of their work. 'We will not let the Government forget their promise to support our creative industries. We will not back down and we will not quietly go away. This is just the beginning. 'Thank you, Billboard. And thank you Baroness Kidron and The House of Lords for standing up for our world-beating artists, journalists, playwrights, designers and authors.' The prolonged impasse and the conduct of proceedings at Westminster now threatens the future of the whole Bill and its measures, including a crackdown on deepfake porn abuse.
