Tropical Airplay (formerly designated as Hot Tropical/Salsa Tracks)[1] is a chart published by Billboard magazine that ranks the top-performing songs (regardless of genre or language) on tropical radio stations in the United States, based on weekly airplay data compiled by Nielsen's Broadcast Data Systems.[2] It is a subchart of Hot Latin Songs (formerly known as Hot Latin Tracks),[3] which lists the best-performing Spanish-language songs in the country.[4] In 2000, 15 songs topped the chart, across 52 issues of the magazine.
The first number one of the year was "Pero Dile" by Víctor Manuelle, which had been in the top spot since the issue dated November 13, 1999.[5] It was succeeded by Carlos Vives's first number one on the chart with "Fruta Fresca".[6] The two songs alternated on the top stop until the week of January 29, 2000, when Grupo Manía reached number-one with "Bajo la Lluvía". "A Puro Dolor" had the longest-running number of the year with ten weeks and was the best-performing tropical song of the year as well.[1] Son by Four also had the final one of the year with "Cuando Seas Mía", the Spanish version of "Miss Me So Bad".[7]
