Cris MJ Secures His Second Top 10 on Hot Latin Songs With ‘Si No Es Contigo’
Chilean singer-songwriter Cris MJ adds a second top 10 to his Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart account, as “Si No Es Contigo” debuts at No. 3 – just two steps behind his current leader, the eight-week No. 1 “Gata Only” with FloyyMenor. The former also bows at No. 72 on the overall Billboard Hot 100, the artist’s highest debut of his so far three entries.
Christopher Andrés Álvarez García, better known as Cris MJ, launched his Hot Latin Songs career just two years ago, through the No. 24-peaking “Una Noche En Medellín” in 2022. A remix of the song with Karol G and Ryan Castro, which charted separately, later took the Chilean to a No. 12 high in August 2023.

“Si No Es Contigo,” Cris MJ’s latest top 10 debut hit — a rhythmic tune peppered with Middle Eastern sounds — is powered almost entirely by streaming activity, with 7.9 million official U.S. streams earned during the May 24-30 tracking week, according to Luminate.
That sum yields an equal No. 3 start on Latin Streaming Songs, for Cris MJ’s second top 10 in less than two months, following “Gata Only,” for nine weeks in charge starting with the April 13-dated list.
Expanding on the song’s solid start, “Contigo” also earns indie label Sonar its first top 10 on Hot Latin Songs. The Orchard sub-label, in partnership with Rimas Entertainment, first logged an entry on the multimetric tally through the threeway collab, “Desde Mis Ojos” — with Chris Lebron, Jay Wheeler and Sech — for a No. 43 high in 2022.
As mentioned, Cris MJ lands in the top 10 on the airplay-, streaming-, digital sales-blended Hot Latin Songs chart for a second time after logging his first leader through “Gata Only” with FloyyMenor (chart dated April 20), the second-longest leading song in 2024, after Xavi’s “La Diabla” (14-week ruler starting the Jan. 6-dated list).
Further, the 22-year-old makes his first appearance on the Billboard Artist 100 chart, debuting at No. 91. On a global scale, Cris MJ claims a new entry on both Global charts: No. 76 debut on the Billboard Global 200 with 20.9 million streams worldwide. Meanwhile, outside the U.S. he collects 13.1 million clicks for a No. 122 start on the Global Excl. U.S. ranking.
