"With Hispanic Heritage Month in full swing, Billboard put together the 20 longest-leading albums of all time on the Top Latin Albums chart. The list includes everything from albums that we were obsessed with in the ‘90s, such as Gloria Estefan’s Mi Tierra and Selena’s Amor Prohibido to Ozuna’s 2017 production Odisea and Bad Bunny’s debut album X 100Pre.
This list reflects titles with the most weeks at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart from the ranking's first week on July 10, 1993, to the Oct. 12, 2019-dated chart. For albums with the same number of weeks at No. 1, titles are listed from most recent to oldest.
