Chilean singer FloyyMenor arrives on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 30) for the first time thanks to his breakthrough viral hit “Gata Only” with Cris MJ.
The song debuts at No. 98 on the strength of its streaming sum: 5.1 million U.S. streams (up 13%) in the March 15-21 tracking week, according to Luminate. It also rises 12-10 on Hot Latin Songs, marking his first top 10 in his first visit to the survey.
Internationally, the song ranks at No. 12 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart – after becoming his first top 10, reaching No. 10 – and jumps 22-13 on the Billboard Global 200. On the Chile Songs chart, it tallies a sixth week at No. 1.
TikTok has been a big contributor to the song’s growth, as “Gata Only” has been featured in more than 28,000 clips on the platform to date. That activity prompted the song’s debut at No. 43 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart dated March 16; it held at that position in its second week.
FloyyMenor is a relative newcomer to Billboard’s charts. “Gata Only” is his first song to reach a U.S. Billboard chart. He’s charted one additional track on the Chile Songs list: “Pa La Europa” reached No. 24 in June 2023.
FloyyMenor has released more than a dozen solo songs on streaming services, all since 2022. He has also collaborated with Chiko Alfa, Jairo Vera, Djay W and ITHAN NY (“Corte Gangster”), Brockk (“Maldades”) and NBA Afro (“Vente Paka”).
As for Cris MJ, “Gata Only” earns the fellow Chilean artist his second career entry on the Hot 100, after “Una Noche En Medellin (Remix),” with Karol G and Ryan Castro, in August 2023. The latter is from Karol G’s album Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), which debuted at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums and No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
