Found out a bit about Dembow which appears to be taking over a tad. Not sure if you will be any the wiser after reading this though!

Dem Bow
The Dem Bow riddim itself was first discovered and produced by Jamaican Dancehall DJs in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, the original idea of Dem Bow's percussion pattern cannot be traced to any individual producer, because the riddim itself was partly influenced by mento's one drop, but also by other West Indian music such as calypso and soca, which in turn gives the dembow a pan-Caribbean nature. Steely & Clevie, creators of the Poco riddim are usually credited with the creation of the original dembow.[19]
The Dem Bow riddim was first highlighted in the song "Dem Bow" by Shabba Ranks. Dem Bow's drum and percussion pattern is created through a drum machine. The creation of the drum machine in the late 1970s revolutionized dancehall music, and many dancehall producers used these drum machines to create different dancehall riddims. Dembow's role in reggaeton is to be the basic building block, and the skeletal sketch in percussion. The dembow used in reggaeton also incorporates other different riddims such as the Bam Bam Riddim, the Hot This Year Riddim, the Poco Man Jam Riddim, the Fever Pitch Riddim, the Red Alert Riddim, Trailer Reloaded Riddim, and the Big Up Riddim, ex.Rayvon - Could You Be Love ft.Shaggy.(The name of this Riddim is to not get confused with another Riddim by the same name). As a result, different samples are often used to create Dem Bow in reggaeton.
As reggaeton continues to evolve, so does the Dem Bow riddim, and many of the newer reggaeton hits incorporate a much lighter and electrified offspring of the riddim. Examples can be heard in songs such as "Permitame" and "Pa' Que la Pases Bien"

The best almost never equals the most popular.
true, and with that said, here are the ones i have heard most played at the local discos, drink, colmados, car washes etc.

Bachata - Promise (Usher & Romeo Santos)
Merengue - La otra (newest hit by Antony Santos, that basically says if his woman isn't gonna do him right, he find another that will)
Reggaeton - (theres nothing lately thats really a big hit)
Dembow - De lo mio (by Monkey Black by far the most popular hit to the youngand the new catch phrase thats being used by the young and a few oldies...)
Club/House/Dance - La gente esta muy loca (you might know this by the chorus "what the f**k"....there is a spanish remix to it thats played plus the original at times

I was wondering the same question, since coming back from Sosua I have been wanting to hear some music. I found a few online radio stations that I like to listen to. Here are a few of my favourites that they seem to play everyday:
El Teke Teke - Crazy Design
Lovumba - Daddy Yankee
Danza Kuduro - Don Omar
Ai Se Eu Te Pego - Michel Telo
Dandole Remix - Omega, Gocho
and my personal favourite: Mi Santa by Romeo Santos

The only thing I find frustrating is that the online radio stations do not show me what songs are playing at that time, so if I hear a song I really like it's hard to figure out what it is or who sings it. However, I have found the Billboard website helpful. They have charts for Latin songs.
