Morat scores big this week, earning its second No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as its update of Los Bukis’ 1986 classic “Tu Cárcel” surges from No. 10 to the top of the June 20-dated ranking. The new version also hits No. 1 on both the Latin Pop Airplay chart and the multimetric Hot Latin Pop Songs survey.

The act from Bogotá, Colombia, previously led Latin Airplay with “Me Toca a Mí,” with Camilo, for a week last August.
