Written by djfrosty on September 18, 2024
Jhayco achieves his third top 10 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart with Le Clique: Vida Rockstar, his third studio album, which debuts at No. 6 on the Sept. 21 dated list. The 29-track also launches at No. 2 on Latin Rhythm Albums chart.
Le Clique: Vida Rockstar launches at No. 6 on Top Latin Albums with 13,000 equivalent album units logged in the U.S. on the Sept. 6-12 tracking week, according to Luminate. As it’s become a norm among Latin rhythmic artists, streams contribute most of the album’s debut week activity.
Trending on Billboard
Top Latin Albums and Latin Rhythm Albums rank the week’s most popular Latin albums, and Latin rhythm albums, respectively, by multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Each unit equals one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.
Le Clique: Vida Rockstar’s 13,000 opening sum is largely driven by the album’s songs generating 17 million on-demand official streams in the U.S. in the tracking week, while a negligible amount of traditional album sales and track sales supply the remaining units.
Notably, Le Clique: Vida Rockstar is just the fourth Latin rhythm set to debut in the top 10 on Top Latin Albums in 2024 among the 15 debuts this year so far –after Eladio Carrion’s Sol Maria (No. 6 debut, Feb. 3-dated chart), Young Miko’s att. (No. 9, April 20), and Myke Towers’ La Pantera Negra (No. 7, Sept. 7). The overall Latin albums raking, in contrast, boasted seven Latin rhythmic album debuts by the same point year-to-date in 2023 (two by Karol G and Yng Lvcas, while Eladio Carrión, Myke Towers and Rauw Alejandro debuted with one album each).
With Le Clique: Vida Rockstar, released Sept. 6 on Universal Music Latino/UMLE, Jhayco secures his third top 10 debut on Top Latin Albums, two then-billed under Jhay Cortez. Here’s a review of his top 10 collection:
