Alejandro Fernández adds his 22nd top 10 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “Inexperto en Olvidarte” climbs 13-5 on the April 29-dated list. Notably, it’s the first song he’s recorded in his long career that was written by two women: Amanda Coronel and Fernanda Díaz.
“Inexperto en Olvidarte” was released Jan. 6 via Universal Music Latino/UMLE, and breaks the top 10 barrier on the all-genre chart in its 13th week with a 27% gain in audience impressions, to 8 million, earned in the U.S. in the week ending April 20, according to Luminate.
The mariachi tune follows another top 10 entry, “Nunca Dudes En Llamarme” with La Arrolladora Banda El Limón de René Camacho, which peaked at No. 8 in September. “Inexperto en Olvidarte” however, marks Fernández’s first top 10 as a soloist, unassisted by any other act, since “Te Olvidé’ reached the upper echelon reaching No. 7 high in May 2020.
In total, Fernández, has amassed a total of 22 top 10s, dating back to his first entry and top 10 “A Pesar de Todo” in 1994. Further, “Inexperto” becomes his best ranking since the two-week ruler “Caballero” (Jan. 2020).
With 22 top 10s on his chart account, Fernández ties with La Arrolladora, his last top 10 collaborator, for the sixth-most top 10s among reginal Mexican acts since Latin Airplay launched in 1994. Here’s a look at the scoreboard:
- 27, Marco Antonio Solis
- 26, Calibre 50
- 23, Banda El Recodo de Cruz Lizarraga
- 23, Banda MS de Sergio Lizarraga
- 23, Intocable
- 22, Alejandro Fernández
- 22, La Arrolladora Banda el Limon de Rene Camacho
As mentioned, “Inexperto” was written by two female songwriters, Amanda Coronel and Fernanda Díaz, who had collaborated prior through a Carin León track.
It concurrently returns Díaz to the top 10 on Latin Airplay: Regulo Caro’s No. 5-peaking “Cicatrices,” co-written with two other songwriters, gifted her a first top 10 in 2016 — she has placed two other top 30 tracks on the tally.
With “Inexperto,” Coronel, meanwhile, bests her previous No. 25 high entry as a songwriter also through a Caro track, “Piénsalo Bien” in 2019.
Further, “Inexperto” pushes up Regional Mexican Airplay, jumping from No. 4 to its new No. 3 peak.
