Written by djfrosty on January 26, 2023
Fuerza Regida picks up its third No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Albums chart as Sigan Hablando ascends from No. 2 to lead the Jan. 28-dated list. The album’s new win arrives two weeks after it debuted, alongside Pa Que Hablen, in the top 10 on the overall Top Latin Albums chart on Jan. 14.
To claim the top slot on Regional Mexican Albums, Sigan Hablando earned 12,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 19, a 12% gain from the week prior, according to Luminate. Out of that sum, 11,000 derive from streaming which represents 18.1 million official on-demand U.S. streams of the album’s songs, up 15% from the previous week. The remaining units come from traditional album sales and track-equivalent album units through sales of the album’s songs.
On the Regional Mexican Albums chart, each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.
Two more of the group’s albums also rank in the tally’s top 10, Pa Que Hablen at No. 3 — after its No. 2 debut on Jan. 14 — and Del Barrio Hasta Aquí, Vol. 2 at No. 4, the latter, in its 35th week, peaked at No. 2 in June 2022.
Sigan Hablando becomes the Sinaloa quintet’s third chart topper: Del Barrio Hasta Aquí debuted and led for 18 consecutive weeks in 2019. Meanwhile, Adicto ruled for one week in April 2020.
Elsewhere, Sigan Hablando moves 4-2 on the all-Latin Top Latin Albums ranking, and pushes up on the overall Billboard 200, with a 97-65 lift.
Further, the album houses “Bebe Dame,” with Grupo Frontera, which earned both acts its first No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart (Jan. 21). The song is pushed down to No. 2 on the current track though with a gain, displaced by the No. 1 debut of Bizarrap and Shakira’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53.” On Regional Mexican Airplay, one other song from the Sigan Hablando makes progress: “Prefiero Empedarme” jumps 40-30.
Carin León & Grupo Frontera ‘Que Vuelvas’ Leads: Elsewhere on the Regional Mexican realm, Carin León and Grupo Frontera’s “Que Vuelvas” ascends 8-1 on Regional Mexican Airplay with 7.7 million in audience impressions, up 44%, earned in the U.S. during the Jan. 13-19 tracking week.
It’s a first No. 1 for Frontera which scored a No. 2 with “No Se Va” last Dec. León secures his third, following his three-week domination through his featured role in Banda MS’ “Ojos Cerrados.”
Over on the all-genre Latin Airplay list, “Que Vuelvas” reaches its highest peak: No. 6 in its sixth week.
