Get ready to party with J Balvin tomorrow morning on NBC’s TODAY Show. After a week of sold out shows in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, and Boston, the star will be celebrating 5 weeks in a row at #1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm charts with a special performance.
His new single, Ginza, continues to dominate domestic and international charts, holding firm at #1 in Mexico and Ecuador for the 3rd and 4th consecutive week, respectively, and grabbing the #1 spot on the Spotify charts in Spain, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay. Plenty of media outlets have praised Ginza and Balvin himself…

This 5-week run on the top of the U.S. Billboard charts marks Ginza as the most dominant Latin song in radio today. Balvin is also in the middle of a hot streak – he’s gathered some of the most prominent awards in Latin music this year alone, with 3 Billboard Awards, 4 Premios Lo Nuestro Awards, and 1 Colombian Kids Choice Award under his belt thus far.
Currently, the Colombian superstar is finishing his first headlining tour through the US, and is getting ready to kick off his tour in Colombia on October 30th in Bogota.
“With Ginza, I wanted to go beyond my comfort zone, take a risk and bring a new sound to my music. I want to continually explore new and original ideas for Latin music…. Cowards rarely make history” – J Balvin– J Balvin
We can’t wait to see what comes next for him.
