Karol G has reached a new career high on the Billboard Hot 100 as “BbY WOW,” her collaboration with Judeline and rusowsky, climbs to No. 6. The song gives the Colombian superstar her highest-charting solo hit on the Hot 100, surpassing the No. 7 peak of “TQG” with Shakira in 2023.
“BbY WOW” rises from No. 7 to No. 6 on this week’s Hot 100, marking its second consecutive week inside the chart’s Top 10. The achievement comes less than two months after the song was released on August 7 as part of Karol G’s sixth studio album, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto.

The new peak gives Karol G her second Top 10 Hot 100 entry and her highest position on the chart to date. “TQG,” her 2023 collaboration with Shakira, previously held her personal record after debuting and peaking at No. 7 in March 2023.
For Judeline and rusowsky, the milestone represents an even bigger breakthrough. “BbY WOW” became both artists’ first Hot 100 Top 10 and their first No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, where the track has established itself as one of the defining successes from Karol G’s latest era.
The song’s momentum has extended beyond the United States. “BbY WOW” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and topped national charts in 11 countries, including Colombia and Spain, the home countries of its three performers.
Its rise also reflects the unusual path the collaboration took before reaching listeners. Karol G and Judeline wrote “BbY WOW” during a January 2026 session that produced three additional songs for No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto. Karol initially considered leaving the track off the album because she felt it was unfinished, but eventually changed her mind after deciding that Judeline and rusowsky’s contributions were essential to the song.
Karol G has described the song as emotional while still giving listeners something they can dance to, a balance that has helped define its appeal.
At the top of the Hot 100, Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” adds another week at No. 1, extending its record to 24 weeks.
