Miami, FL (March 5, 2026) — Global reggaetón and dancehall powerhouse Ryan Castro continues his unstoppable momentum as his global hit “La Villa” reaches No. 1 on Mexico’s General and Pop radio charts, marking another major milestone for the record after peaking at #31 on Spotify’s Global Chart and surpassing 250 million streams worldwide.

Since its release, “La Villa” has grown into one of the most dominant Latin crossover hits of the year, continuing to expand its impact across radio, streaming platforms, and social media. The single has topped radio charts across multiple markets in Latin America and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in both Colombia and Argentina, where it also spent five consecutive weeks atop Billboard Argentina’s Hot 100. On streaming platforms, the track has hit #1 on Spotify in 11 countries and peaked at #31 on Spotify’s Global Chart, while sparking a massive cultural moment online with over 4 million TikTok creations using the official audio.

The milestone arrives as Ryan Castro prepares to bring his music directly to fans across the region with the Latin American leg of his “Sendé World Tour.” The run will kick off on March 19 in Guatemala, followed by stops in El Salvador, Honduras, Panamá, Costa Rica, Perú, Chile, and Argentina. The tour will culminate with what stands as his only Colombia show of the year and the biggest moment of his career to date: a historic hometown concert at Estadio Atanasio Girardot in Medellín on April 25, 2026, which sold out in under two hours with over 45,000 tickets.

Castro’s momentum continues with the release of his latest collaboration with J Balvin, “Tonto,” which recently peaked at #5 on Spotify Colombia’s chart. The track arrives after a series of high-profile moments between the two artists, including red carpet appearances, Super Bowl weekend events, and a standout performance at Premio Lo Nuestro, signaling a quiet but undeniable alignment between two of Colombia’s most influential global voices in urban music.

ABOUT RYAN CASTRO:

Ryan Castro is a global reggaeton and dancehall artist whose impact extends far beyond music—bridging culture, community, sports, and entrepreneurship. Dubbed as "El Cantante Del Ghetto”, Castro is a Colombian artist whose journey from street busking in Medellín's Pedregal neighborhood to global stardom is nothing short of remarkable.

Before his breakthrough with the single “Morena” in 2017, Ryan lived in Curaçao, where he immersed himself in reggae and dancehall—sounds that continue to define his Caribbean-infused musical identity. He rose to international prominence with hits like “Mujeriego” and “Jordan,” both of which landed on the Billboard Global 200 and Spotify’s Global Top 50. His Diamond-certified smash “QUEMA” alongside Peso Pluma further cemented his place among the world’s top Latin artists.

In 2024, Ryan released his RIAA 2x Platinum-certified debut album El Cantante Del Ghetto and delivered the global, viral anthem “El Ritmo Que Nos Une” for Colombia’s National Soccer Team—an unprecedented cultural moment that united music and sports. That same year, Rolling Stone U.S. named him a Future 25 honoree, recognizing him as one of the artists shaping the future of global music and culture.

Ryan followed with a landmark 2025, driven by sold-out U.S. arena tours, becoming the first Colombian artist to acquire equity in a professional sports team—Paisas Basketball Club, based in his hometown of Medellín—and launching one of Colombia’s most successful entertainment-brand collaborations to date: his Jumbo “Romantik Style” chocolate bar, which surpassed 1.2 million units sold. That same year, he released two critically acclaimed albums—Sendé and Hopi Sendé—which spotlight his Caribbean essence, shaped by the dancehall and reggae influences he absorbed while living in Curacao.

In 2026, Ryan’s momentum reached new heights as his hit single “La Villa,” from his third album Hopi Sendé, became a global phenomenon—peaking #31 on Spotify's global chart and reaching #1 across Latin America. Today, Ryan Castro stands as one of the biggest and best-selling Latin artists in the world, continuously breaking barriers and redefining what it means to be a global artist—on stage, in culture, and beyond.
