Calibre 50 extends its record for the most No. 1s on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart as “Vengo de Verla” crowns the tally dated Nov. 4.
The single advances from No. 5 in its 10th week with 7.8 million audience impressions, up 19%, earned during the tracking week ending Oct. 26, according to Luminate. It sends Grupo Frontera and Grupo Firme’s “El Amor de Su Vida” to No. 2 with a 12% drop, to 7.63 million.
With its new champ, Calibre 50 improves its career total on Regional Mexican Airplay to 24 No. 1s. The group remains atop the leaderboard for the most No. 1s among all acts since the chart’s inception in 1994, opening an even larger gap ahead of its competitors. Here’s a look at the artists with the most chart-toppers on Regional Mexican Airplay:
- 24, Calibre 50
- 19, Banda MS de Sergio Lizárraga
- 18, Banda El Recodo de Cruz Lizárraga
- 18, Intocable
- 17, La Arrolladora Banda el Limón de Rene Camacho
- 16, Conjunto Primavera
- 16, Los Tigres del Norte
“Vengo de Verla” arrives at the summit after Calibre 50 led with “Dirección Equivocada” for two weeks in April. The song required an equal 10 weeks to lead. In between, the group reached a No. 18 high with “Hablar de Ti” (July 15-dated list).
Further, “Vengo” climbs to a new peak on the overall Latin Airplay chart, pushing 12-7. There, the Mazatlán, Sinaloa, band collects its 27th top 10, cementing a new record for the most top 10s among any regional Mexican group.
