Written by djfrosty on April 28, 2023
Grupo Marca Registrada expands its winning streak across Billboard charts thanks to “Di Que Sí,” its first collab with Grupo Frontera, which conquers the Regional Mexican Airplay chart dated April 29.
The new coronation arrives a week after the song cracked the top 10 barrier on the all-genre Latin Airplay ranking (dated April 22) at No. 5, where it climbs to No. 3 on the current chart.
“Honestly, we did not expect such a great reaction from the audience,” Fidel Castro, leading member of Grupo Marca Registrada, tells Billboard. “This is a collab that we enjoy very much, and it certainly won’t be the last one!”
“Di Que Sí,” written by Edgar Barrera, jumps 2-1 on Regional Mexican Airplay with a 6% increase in audience impressions, to 8.4 million, earned in the U.S. during the April 14-20 tracking week. It evacuates Calibre 50’s “Dirección Equivocada” from No. 1 after two weeks in charge.
“Di Que Sí,” released Feb. 3 through Interscope/RB, takes over the chart in its sixth week. Regional Mexican Airplay sees both Interscope at the summit for the first time, in its third chart appearance, following Enrique Iglesias’ “Ritmo Total” which debuted and peaked at No. 22 in Dec. 1999.
Notably, the Marca Registrada and Frontera collab returned the label to the ranking following two decades and a half of absence when it debuted at No. 20 on the March 25-dated list.
Meanwhile, RB also secures its first leader in its fourth try. The label last scored a No. 21 high with Pancho Barraza’s “Al Sabor del Champagne” in Oct. 2022.
Further, “Di Que Sí” concurrently gives Marca Registrada its first chart entrance, at No. 99 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 tally. Frontera secures its fifth visit. In addition to its radio boost, the track registered 5.1 million official U.S. streams in the U.S. during the same period.
Luis Figueroa’s “La Luz” Arrives: Elsewhere on the Latin charts, Puerto Rican Luis Figueroa captures his sixth top 10 on Tropical Airplay as “La Luz” ascends 11-9 in its fifth week. The track was released onMarch 16 via Magnus/ Sony Music Latin. It’s Figueroa’s first single from his upcoming EP Voy a Ti (to be released later this year).
“La Luz” enters the upper region on Tropical Airplay with 2.4 million in audience impressions, up 18%, earned during the same tracking week.
In total 19 songs have hit the top 10 on Tropical Airplay so far in 2023. Out of those, eight by solo artists, unassisted of a collaborator. As “La Luz” rises to No. 9, Figueroa becomes the only artist to place two top 10s, as a soloist, unaccompanied by any other act, in 2023. Here’s a look at those tracks:
Artist, Title, Peak Date, Peak Position
Manuel Turizo, “La Bachata,” Aug. 6, 2022, No. 1
Rosalía, “Despechá,” Oct. 1, 2022, No. 1
Luis Figueroa, “Fiesta Contigo,” Feb. 4, 2023, No. 4
Prince Royce, “Otra Vez,” Feb. 11, No. 6
Tommy Torres, “Mi Secreto,” Feb. 4, No. 10
Romeo Santos, “Solo Conmigo,” March 18, No. 3
Victor Manuelle, “Esta Noche Te Conviene,” April 1, No. 9
Luis Figueroa, “La Luz,” No. 9, April 29
Further, “La Luz” grants Figueroa a sixth entry on the all-genre Latin Airplay chart, at No. 46. It’s his best debut after “Todavía Te Espero” launched at No. 45 in May 2022. The track later entered the top 20, at No. 15.
