Billboard Magazine's Hot Latin Tracks chart is the most important music chart for Spanish language singles in the American music market. It was established by the magazine in the 1970s, when music labels and Billboard realized that Spanish-language songs had a great potential to the American audiences, growing greatly during the past few decades. In 2005, the song "La Tortura", a duet between Shakira and Alejandro Sanz, made history by occupying the #1 spot for a record of 25 non-consecutive weeks. As of October 26 2006, the #1 spot is occupied by the song "Pam Pam" by Wisin Y Yandel. The chart is based on airplay on Latin music stations. Songs on the chart are not necessarily in Spanish; e.g. this year's biggest run on the chart was "Hips Don't Lie", a single by Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean, sung mainly in English. To this date, the 5 most successful entries of the year in the chart have been:
- Daddy Yankee - Rompe (15 weeks)
- Shakira ft.Wyclef Jean - Hips Don't Lie
- Mana - Labios Compartidos
- Anais - Lo Que Son Las Cosas
- Paulina Rubio - Ni Una Sola Palabra
