"Rompe" (English: "Break It") is a song recorded by Puerto Rican rapper
Daddy Yankee. The song held the number one spot on Billboard's
Hot Latin Tracks chart for over three months and reached a peak position of number 24 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart of the same publication, showcasing an evident trend among
Latin songs having great cross-over appeal among the mainstream American market (since
Shakira's "
La Tortura" entered the top 20 on the same chart). The music video was in heavy rotation on MTV becoming one of the few reggaeton videos to do so reaching the position number 10 of Billboard MTV Video Monitor in 2006.[1]
