Just a few days after kicking off her second global stadium tour, Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour, in July, Karol G surprised her fans with the announcement of a new album: No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto. The 14-track set — which features standout collaborations with Drake and Bruno Mars — was released on Aug. 7 and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top Latin Albums chart as well as in the top 10 of the all-genre Billboard 200 (No. 8).
It also flooded Hot Latin Songs with 13 entries, led by “Ahí” with Drake, which debuted at No. 1 and was replaced a week later by another hit from the LP, “BbY WOW,” featuring Judeline and Rusowsky. Meanwhile, Karol pledged to donate $1.2 million to relief efforts for communities affected by the Aug. 10 earthquake in Colombia through her Con Cora Foundation.
