'''Latin Rhythm Airplay''' is an airplay-only chart published weekly by ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' that ranks the most popular songs being played on [[Hispanic rhythmic]]/[[hurban]] radio stations in the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://remezcla.com/music/daddy-yankee-que-tire-pa-lante-chart-record/|title = Daddy Yankee is Still Dominating the Charts, Thanks to "Que Tire Pa' Lante"|date = January 24, 2020}}</ref> The music typically heard on these stations include [[reggaeton]], Hispanic [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] and [[Hip hop music|hip hop]], [[Rhythmic contemporary|rhythmic pop/dance]], and crossovers from English-language and/or bilingual acts.
The '''Latin Rhythm Airplay''' chart comprises singles and tracks from artists who represent the [[Hispanic rhythmic]]/[[Hurban]] genre,<ref>https://remezcla.com/music/daddy-yankee-que-tire-pa-lante-chart-record/</ref> which includes [[Reggaeton]], Hispanic [[R&B]]/[[Hip hop music|Hip-Hop]], [[Rhythmic Top 40|Rhythmic Pop/Dance]] and crossovers from English-language and/or bilingual acts. This chart was introduced on the week of August 13, 2005 and came about as a result of radio stations tapping into the growing second and third generation Hispanic audience who wanted a Spanish-speaking or bilingual alternative to the (English-language Mainstream, Rhythmic, and R&B/Hip-Hop) formats that they felt would represent them. In its publication, the chart goes through a rotation and is posted every other week taking place of the [[Latin Tropical Airplay]] while the online database is posted every week. "[[Lo Que Pasó, Pasó]]" by [[Daddy Yankee]] was the first number-one song on the chart.<ref>{{cite web |title=Latin Rhythm Airplay : Week of August 13, 2005 |url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-rhythm-airplay/2005-08-13 |website=Billboard |accessdate=December 9, 2019}}</ref>
