Three men singing in a concert.
"A Puro Dolor" by Son by Four was the longest-running number one of the year with 10 nonconsecutive weeks at the top spot and was also named the best-performing tropical song of the year. They also had the final number one of the year with "Cuando Seas Mía".

Tropical Airplay 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.[1] It is a subchart of Hot Latin Songs, which lists the best-performing Spanish-language songs in the country.[2] In 2000, 15 songs topped the chart, in 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.[3] It was succeeded by Carlos Vives's first number one on the chart with "Fruta Fresca".[4] The two songs would alternate on the top stop until the week of January 29, 2000 when Grupo Manía reached number-one with "Bajo la Lluvía".

Three songs that reached number one on the Tropical Airplay in 2000 benefitted from being recorded in multiple versions, one as a balld and the other a tropical version, including "Que Alguien Me Diga" by Gilberto Santa Rosa,[5] "A Puro Dolor" by Son by Four,[6] and "Júrame" by Gisselle.[7] "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.[8] Son by Four also had the final one of the year with "Cuando Seas Mía", the Spanish version of "Miss Me So Bad".[9]

Three other songs that reached number one in 2000 are Spanish-language adaptations including "Muy Dentro de Mi" ("You Sang to Me") by Marc Anthony,[10] "Ven Conmigo (Solamente Tú)" ("Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)") by Christina Aguilera,[11] and the Spanish version of "She Bangs" by Ricky Martin.[12] Thalía and Luis Fonsi achieved their first number ones with "Entre el Mar y una Estrella" and "Imagíname Sin Ti", respectively.[13][14] Due to the fact that tropical radio stations do not generally play pop ballads, Thalía's record label, EMI Latin, was suspected of performing payola and was removed from the chart the following week.[15][16] Former La Makina lead vocalist Anthony achieved his only chart-topper with "Yo Te Confieso".[17]
