SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO | April 28, 2025 | Two Billboard charts. One collaboration. The numbers confirm what radio programmers across Latin America have been signaling for weeks: Kany García and Maluma's "1+1" has reached No. 1 on both the Latin Airplay and Tropical Airplay charts simultaneously, delivering one of the most visible chart moments of García's two-decade career.

The chart climb arrives in the middle of an active global touring cycle built around "Puerta Abierta," García's latest studio album. García, a Puerto Rican singer-songwriter who has won multiple Latin Grammy Awards for her confessional, melodically direct approach to romantic balladry, has long held a devoted following across Latin America and among U.S. Latino audiences. Billboard has tracked her across multiple chart categories over the years, but a simultaneous No. 1 across Latin Airplay and Tropical Airplay marks a new peak in her radio performance history.

Kany García's "Puerta Abierta" Draws Coverage From Major Press as Album Cycle Matures

The album's cultural footprint extends beyond radio. The New York Times and Rolling Stone en Español have both published coverage positioning Kany García as one of the most significant voices currently active in Latin music, according to the artist's camp. "Puerta Abierta" has been cited among the most relevant Latin releases of the year in multiple outlets, a designation that reflects both commercial traction and critical attention arriving in the same cycle.

The live response has matched that momentum. Two shows at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, one of the island's premier large-capacity venues, sold out in under 24 hours. The demand prompted the addition of a third date, scheduled for December 6. For an artist whose music carries a strong emotional connection with Puerto Rican audiences specifically, the sellout pace signals more than ticket sales: it reflects the kind of loyalty that builds over years of consistent output.

Tour Expansion Carries "Puerta Abierta" Across Latin America, Europe, and the United States

The touring picture has grown considerably since the album launched. Kany García's 2026 dates now span Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Spain, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom. The scope positions "Puerta Abierta" not as a regional campaign but as a full international cycle, one that the artist's team describes as featuring a renewed production, new compositions, and what they call an intimate and powerful narrative connecting the performances across markets.

The Mexican leg of the tour delivered three consecutive nights across Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Puerto Vallarta over the past weekend. The run continues April 28 in Aguascalientes. That kind of back-to-back routing through major Mexican markets speaks to the depth of her audience in a country that has historically been one of the strongest Latin music consumption markets in the world, as Billboard and industry trackers have documented across streaming and physical sales data.

The dual No. 1 charting for "1+1" with Maluma adds a collaborative dimension to a cycle that has otherwise centered García as a solo narrative voice. Maluma, the Colombian reggaeton and pop singer who has spent the past decade building one of the largest Latin fanbases in the world, brings a different radio profile to the pairing. The result, at least by airplay metrics, has been the kind of crossover performance that validates both artists' reach at this stage of their careers.

What the "Puerta Abierta" cycle has demonstrated, across charts, ticket sales, and press attention, is that García is operating at a level where multiple metrics are moving at once. A third Coliseo date in Puerto Rico, a No. 1 on two Billboard charts, and coverage from major English-language publications in the same album cycle is a configuration that reflects sustained momentum rather than a single-moment spike. The remainder of the tour will show whether the global leg converts that momentum into the kind of international audience expansion that could define the next phase of her career.
