Rico o Muerto, released June 6 on Rancho Humilde/Sony Music Latin, starts at No. 6 on Top Latin Albums with 13,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States, in the tracking week ending June 12, according to Luminate. Streaming activity contributes the majority of the project’s first-week figure, which translates to 18 million official on-demand streams of the album’s tracks, with a negligible amount of track-equivalent activity. One unit equals one album sale, or 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.
The new album follows Maydon’s first top 10 debut on Top Latin Albums: Distorsión, which opened at No. 9 in January 2024. Rico o Muerto concurrently opens at No. 3 on the Top Regional Mexican Albums chart, his second top 10 project as well.
“It was a project we poured our hearts into, and seeing it resonate with people made it feel like that top spot was well earned,” says the Mexicali singer of his new album.
Rico o Muerto, which marks Maydon’s debut on the all-genre Billboard 200 at No. 89, showcases a lineup of prominent regional Mexican stars. Peso Pluma, Fuerza Regida, Junior H, Tito Double P, Netón Vega, and Luis R Conriquez all contribute to the project, while Anuel AA and emerging talent Victor Mendivil bring the only rhythmic dose outside the genre.
“I think ‘Zaza’ (with Mendivil) was one of the songs I put the most heart into and definitely the one I worked on the most,” Maydon remembers. “It’s been almost three years of continuous work. In fact, not long ago, we stayed up working on it until 10:00 in the morning to finish it.”
The song hasn’t charted yet, but the album was preceded by two other singles: “Tu Boda,” with Fuerza Regida, gave Maydon his only chart-topping hit on the Hot Latin Songs chart, where it dominated for 11 weeks between 2024-25. Plus, “Amigos? No,” with Vega,” peaked at No. 33 on the chart dated June 7. New cut, “Asquerosamente Rico,” with Peso Pluma, joins those two songs, debuting at No. 25 on the current chart.
Natti Natasha returns to No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart with “Desde Hoy,” marking her first chart-topper since 2022 and her 11th leader overall.

Latinaje was released April 24 on Dale Play/Rimas and marks her first entry on any album chart after multiple visits across other songs charts. The 14-track set launches with 3,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending May 1, according to Luminate. Most of the LPs opening sum stems from streaming activity, which translates to 4.5 million official on-demand streams of the set’s songs.
“The album is full of moments like with [the album’s first single] ‘La Cueva’ which I didn’t want to release,” says Cazzu. “It took a lot of work from my friends and my team to convince me it was a beautiful song. It was decided at the last minute. We shot a video, I didn’t like it, we shot another one in three days, we made a super-quick announcement, and the next day it came out. And well, I was amazed at how well the song did.”
In addition to giving her a No. 27 high on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, which blends streams, radio airplay and digital sales into its formula, “La Cueva” debuted and peaked at No. 2 on Latin Digital Song Sales in January.
“The recording process was so long,” Cazzu remembers. “It was supposed to be an album of collabs, but we changed our minds. It told one story, but it ended up telling another. ‘Con Otra,’ for example, was supposed to be a merengue, and we ended up making a cumbia.”
“Con Otra” is the latest hit on the songs charts for Cazzu, as the tune rallies 45-29 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, after launching at No. 36 on the April 6-dated ranking. The song marks Cazzu’s second visit there, following “Tú y Tú,” with Los Ángeles Azules and Santa Fe Klan, which landed at No. 5, her first top 10.

Elsewhere, Latinaje opens at No. 48 on the all-genre Top Latin Abums, for the Argentinian’s first appearance there.
About the song she relates with the most: “I love ‘Odiarme,’ it has a lot of Cazzu, of that romantic darkness that I love, but ‘Engreído’ has strong trap lyrics, and the music is a bolero, it is a very beautiful collaboration.” The song is her first pair-up with Venezuelan Elena Rose.
Myke Towers and Benny Blanco take “Degenere,” their first ever collaboration, to No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart (dated May 3). The song, rising 5-1, marks Blanco’s first champ on the overall Latin radio ranking after two chart visits and the 14th No. 1 for Towers.
