Written by djfrosty on January 21, 2025
Eden Muñoz adds a seventh No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart, as “Mi Lugar Favorito” jumps from No. 4 to lead the list dated Jan. 25. It’s the second No. 1 on the chart from Eden, Muñoz’s third studio album as a soloist.
“I’m thrilled and grateful to see that ‘Mi Lugar Favorito’ has hit No. 1 on Billboard,” Muñoz tells Billboard. “This song has a special value to me, both personally and socially. It’s a song I wrote for my children, but it’s also a tribute to my inner child.”
“Mi Lugar Favorito” is the No. 1 song on this week’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart with 7 million audience impressions, accrued in the U.S. during the Jan. 10-16 tracking week, according to Luminate. That’s a solid 27% gain from the week prior, when the song held at its No. 4 high then for a second week.

The single becomes Muñoz’s seventh champ on the chart and first of 2025. Previously, “Traigo Saldo y Ganas de Rogar” ruled Regional Mexican Airplay for two weeks last November. The latter also from parent album Eden, released Aug. 15, 2024, via Sony Music Latin.
Muñoz’s No. 1 collection dates back to less than three years ago, when he made his Regional Mexican Airplay debut as a solo singer with “Chale!,” for three weeks in charge in 2022. Since then, the Mexican singer/songwriter and producer has landed 10 top 10s and seven career No. 1s, four through non-collaborations and three through pair-ups.
Over on the overall Latin Airplay chart, “Favorito” pushes 9-4 with 7.1 million impressions.
“Qué Pasaría” If Rauw Alejandro & Bad Bunny Paired Up a No. 1 Hit? Elsewhere, Rauw Alejandro and Bad Bunny team up for their second No. 1 song on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart, as “Qué Pasaría” (meaning “what would happen”) lifts 2-1 for its first week command. The song arrives almost two years after “Party,” the pair’s previous champ, spent two weeks at the summit in February 2023.
For its coronation, “Qué Pasaría” registered 6 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. in Jan. 10-16 tracking week. The new win adds Rauw his 12th No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay, and Benito his 26th.
“Qué Pasaría” is the fourth singe from Rauw Alejandro’s No. 1 album, Cosa Nuestra, a six-week dominator on Top Latin Albums between November 2024-January 2025.
