Cosa Nuestra was released Nov. 15 via Duars/Sony Music Latin. The 18-track effort, an amalgam of Latin rhythmic, salsa and pop songs, invites big names into the mix, with Pharrell Williams, Romeo Santos, Laura Pausini and Bad Bunny, while Timbaland is one of six producers on the James Brown-sampling “Sexxxmachine.”
The album earns Rauw Alejandro his second No. 1 –and seventh straight top 10– on Top Latin Albums and Latin Rhythm Albums charts, after Vice Versa gave the Puerto Rican a first No. 1 (21,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week in the U.S. in 2021, according to Luminate).
Trending on Billboard
Cosa Nuestra launches with 67,000 equivalent album units in its first week (ending Nov. 21), the artist’s largest week by units earned. Of that sum, traditional album sales contribute 1,000, streaming activity comprises 66,000 units, while the remaining negligible number of units stem from track-equivalent album units.
One unit equals to 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.
Biggest Streaming Week for a Latin Album in 2024: Cosa Nuestra generated 66,000 in streaming equivalent album units in its first week, which equates to 87.7 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs, marking the biggest streaming week for any Latin album in 2024. It surpasses the 87.5 million generated by the first full chart tracking week of Peso Pluma’s Éxodo (July 6 chart).
Second-Largest Week for a Latin Album in 2024: As Cosa Nuestra opens with 67,000 units, it yields the second largest weekly sum for a Latin album in 2024, after Kali Uchis’ Orquídeas opened at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums with 69,000 units.
Third-Highest Charting Latin Album on the Billboard 200 in 2024: Cosa Nuestra marks the third-highest charting Latin album on the overall Billboard 200 this year, following the debut frames of Kali Uchis’ Orquídeas (No. 2 in January) and Peso Pluma’s Éxodo (No. 5 in July). On the Billboard 200, Rauw Alejandro secures his highest charting performance among five career entries. Previously, the Puerto Rican reached a No. 17 high through Vice Versa in 2021.
It’s a Hot Latin Songs Splash: As Cosa Nuestra arrives, the complete album pours onto the Hot Latin Songs chart, which combines streaming data, digital sales and radio airplay into its formula. Out of those, 15 songs debut while three re-enter the multi-metric tally, including leading single “Touching The Sky” at No. 38, after its previous No. 22 high in June.
The album also yields five top 10s debuts with “Que Pasaría…,” with Bad Bunny, leading the pack at No. 2. The latter is also the album’s most-streamed song for the week, with 12 million official U.S. streams, enough for a No. 25 start on the overall Streaming Songs chart and a subsequent No. 2 debut on Latin Streaming Songs. The song likewise becomes the most sold track of the week, with 1,000 downloads sold and a No. 1 debut on Latin Digital Song Sales.
Here’s the full review of those cuts:
No. 2, “Que Pasaría…,” with Bad Bunny (debut)No. 3, “Khe?” with Romeo Santos (debut)No. 6, “Tú Con Él” (debut)No. 7, “Se Fue,” with Laura Pausini (debut)No. 8, “Revolu,” with Feid (debut)No. 11, “Déjame Entrar” (re-entry)No. 12, “Ni Me Conozco” (debut)No. 14, “Baja Pa’ Acé,” with Alexis y Fido (debut)No. 15, “Committed,” with Pharrell Williams (debut)No. 16, “Espresso Martini,” with Marconi Impara & Yan Block (debut)No. 18, “Amar de Nuevo” (debut)No. 20, “Cosa Nuestra” (debut)No. 24, “Mil Mujeres” (debut)No. 26, “IL Capo”No. 29, “2:12 AM,” with Latin MafiaNo. 30, “Pasaporte,” with Mr. Naisgai (re-entry)No. 38, “Touching The Sky” (re-entry)No. 40, “Sexxxmachine”
While “Que Pasaría…,” with Bad Bunny, is the album’s most-sold and streamed track, “Tú Con Él,” a faithful rendition of Frankie Ruiz’s ‘80s gem, stretched globally as Rauw Alejandro performed the song at the Global Citizen Festival.
While the late salsa icon died in 1998, he scored a Billboard chart entry earlier in 2024. Victor Manuelle’s “Otra Noche Más” includes Ruiz’s vocals from his 1989 song “Deseándote,” and gave him featured artist billing. The track reached No. 3 on Tropical Airplay and a No. 15 on the overall Latin Airplay chart.

“+57,” released Nov. 8 via Bichota/Interscope/ICLG, breaks into the top five largely based on streaming activity after its first full week of activity. The song — which drew attention for controversial lyrics — generated 8.3 million official streams in the U.S., according to Luminate, during its Nov. 8-14 tracking period. That figure sum prompts a No. 3 start on Latin Streaming Songs, where J Balvin collects his 32nd top 10 while Karol, her 29th, both trailing Bad Bunny’s robust 81 top 10s on his streaming account, the most overall since the tally launched in 2013.

With “+57’s” high debut on Hot Latin Songs, which combines streaming data, digital sales and airplay into its formula, Ovy On The Drums, Ryan Castro and Blessd achieve career milestones as each secure their first top 10 on the multi-metric tally.
Colombian producer Ovy neared the top 10 through another Karol G collab, “Cairo,” which reached No. 11 high in December 2022. Castro and Blessd, each one reached No. 12 high prior: the former through his first collab with Karol G, “Una Noche En Medellín (remix)” (2023), while the latter through “Medallo,” with Justin Quiles and Lenny Tavarez (2022).
“+57” also delivers new achievements for Karol G, Feid, Balvin and Maluma. Karol nabs her 28th Hot Latin Songs top 10, still the second-most among women (behind Shakira’s 27 top10s). Feid matches the No. 4 debut of his previous entry, “Sorry 4 That Much,” for his sixth top 10. Balvin ads his 36th career top 10, and Maluma, his 16th.
But “+57’s” biggest beneficiary is DFZM. The rapper earns his first Hot Latin Songs top 10 with his first title to make the chart. Further, DFZM makes his maiden appearance on three other main charts.
On the global front, “+57” opens at No. 20 on the Billboard Global 200 chart with 46 million clicks worldwide. Meanwhile, it debuts at No. 14 on the Global Excl. U.S. with 38 million streams outside the U.S. Plus, it bows at No. 62 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.
Sales, too, assist in the song’s top five debut on Hot Latin Songs, where it opens at No. 1 on Latin Digital Song Sales with 1,000 digital downloads sold.
It’s Ovy On The Drums’ winning week as the Colombian celebrates his first No. 1 as an artist on any Billboard ranking, as “Mírame,” with Blessd, advances 2-1 on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart (dated Nov. 9). As a songwriter and producer, he’s banked 12 rulers on the list.

Two other Colombian team-ups –by two artists in a lead role– have landed at the summit on Latin Rhythm Airplay in the 2020s decade, both through Shakira collabs: while “Copa Vacía,” with Manuel Turizo, reigned for one week, “TQG,” with Karol G, dominated for seven weeks, both in 2023.
Before Ovy on The Drums’ secured his fist champ this week as an artist, he managed 12 No. 1s as songwriter and producer (mostly through Karol G songs) spanning his eight-year Billboard chart career. Among those, Becky G and Karol G’s “Mamiii” earned him his longest-leading No. 1 track on Latin Rhythm Airplay, dominating for 10 weeks in 2022.
Elsewhere, “Mírame” holds at its No. 3 high on the overall Latin Airplay chart, Ovy’s highest-charting entry and first top 10 there.

The latter blends airplay, streams and digital sales.

“El Primer Tonto,” originally composed and released by Mexican group Los Freddy’s in 1980, was later popularized by Joan Sebastian who secured a No. 7 high with the song on Regional Mexican Airplay in January 2002.
With its romantic cumbia turn, “El Primer Tonto,” released June 7 via VMG/Colmena/Azteca Records, takes Los Ángeles de Charly to their first No. 1 on a radio ranking thanks to a 47% surge in audience impressions, to 6.6 million, earned in the U.S. for the tracking week of Sept. 13-19, according to Luminate.

There’s a magnetism to Carin León that instantly captures your attention, and his first Boca Chueca Tour date at the United Center in Chicago on Thursday (Sept. 19) was a reminder of how dynamic the Mexican hit-maker can be. Just before 9 p.m., León — clad in jeans, a t-shirt, cowboy boots and one of his signature cowboy hats — took over the stage, which he commanded for over two hours, honoring the past, the present and the future of música mexicana and beyond.
“Tonight, we’re leaving our sorrows behind,” he told a multigenerational crowd that mirrored the artist’s cowboy aesthetic. But it was clear that the sorrows would eventually creep back in at some point during the show since León is one of those artists that can’t help but get emotional, especially when he’s singing some of his most heartfelt songs that can mend broken hearts.
Whether you were ready or not, León took you on a roller coaster, perfectly capturing how nuanced regional Mexican music can be. “Genres no longer exist. Borders no longer exist,” he declared. León is among a new generation of Mexican music artists who have clearly defied expectations that have haunted regional Mexican artists for decades — limiting them to some extent.
Trending on Billboard
León, on the contrary, is pretty limitless and his setlist is a declaration of liberation. With a hefty live band in tow — that quickly adapted from banda to norteño to rock and country — he of course performed fan favorites including “Te Lo Agradezco,” “Según Quién,” “The One (Pero No Como Yo),” “Que Vuelvas,” “La Boda del Huitlacoche,” “No Es Por Acá” and “Primera Cita.”
And he also paid homage to the artists that have influenced him along the way, including Hombres G’s “Te Quiero,” Joan Sebastian’s “Tatuajes,” Banda Zeta’s “La Niña Fresa,” Mi Banda El Mexicano’s “Ramito de Violetas,” Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’,” Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen The Rain,” and Banda Toro’s “La Noche en Que Chicago Se Murió.”
His versatility, which he put on full display during the show, is what has made León stand out in a crowded field of a new wave of Mexican music artists since he had a breakthrough nearly five years ago. That and his infectious hip-swiveling cumbia dance moves and mesmerizing zapateado stomping. Since then, León has only cemented his status as one of the most exciting artists of this generation.
“Long live regional Mexican music, Latin music, long live American music,” he said. “At the end of the day, music is what reunited us here tonight.” By this point, León — sporting a Chicago Bulls jersey — had already chugged down some beers and had emptied a Clase Azul tequila bottle, which he took shots from directly while sharing the wealth with his fans. Throughout the show, he handed over the bottle to someone on his team so they could pour tequila in fans’ cups.
“Qué rifados, Chicago,” he said, noting the crowd’s enthusiasm. “Thank you for always showing up for me.”
León’s back-to-back shows in Chicago come on the heels of his four Latin Grammy nominations, including album of the year for Boca Chueca, Vol. 1. Produced by CMN and AEG, the trek continues with stops in Washington, D.C., New York, Austin and Nashville.
