Tito Double P’s 21-track effort dethrones label mate and cousin, Peso Pluma’s Éxodo from its 12-week domination, encompassing the majority of its chart run. Of the 15 weeks Peso’s fourth album album has been on the chart, it’s only missed No. 1 three times – and two of those weeks were at No. 2.
Incómodo, released on Double P Records, which Peso Pluma and George Prajin co-founded in 2023, lands at the summit on Top Latin Albums with 26,000 equivalent album units earned during the Sept. 20-26 tracking week in the U.S., according to Luminate: that’s a 2% gain from the prior week. That weekly unit sum equals to 38.8 million official U.S. streams for the songs on the album.

“Wow, I’m so honored,” the Mexican singer-songwriter told Billboard of the album’s debut. “I didn’t expect this but I’m so grateful that the fans are embracing my project like this.”
Top Latin Albums ranks the week’s most popular Latin albums 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.
Incómodo also advances 2-1 on Regional Mexican Albums, for Tito’s first ruler there. Plus, one song from the album debuts on Latin Streaming Songs: “Escápate,” with Chino Pacas, arrives at No. 15 with 3.7 million on-demand official U.S. clicks, up 14%.
Omar Courtz Makes Billboard Album Charts Debut: Elsewhere, Puerto Rican Omar Courtz visits Top Latin Albums for the first time with Primera Musa, his maiden studio album which opens at No. 8 with 11,000 equivalent album units. Streaming contributes most of the 17-track effort’s first week sum in the U.S., equating to 15.4 million official streams.
It’s the first top 10 on an album chart for Courtz, who scored his first top 10 on a Billboard chart through the No. 7-peaking “Beachy,” with Daddy Yankee, on Latin Rhythm Airplay in July 2023.
Beyond its top 10 start on Top Latin Albums, Primera Musa also opens at No. 2 on Latin Rhythm Albums, Courtz’s highest-charting entry across all charts.
Tito Double P, Peso Pluma & Omar Courtz will speak at Latin Music Week Oct. 14-18 at the Fillmore Miami Beach. To register, please visit Billboardlatinmusicweek.com.

The stripped-back rendition showed off Gaga’s vocal prowess, channelling raw emotion and intensity that perfectly reflected the chaotic essence of her cinematic alter ego.
Gaga’s performance wasn’t just a song; it was a glimpse into the world she’s crafted around Harlequin. Following the performance, she told Kimmel, “It was inspired by the movie, it was inspired by my character Harley, and just also kind of this reflection on my life as a performer. It’s meant to be a really personal song about how sometimes we can go through dark times and feel like happiness is an accident when it happens.”

Harlequin isn’t a typical film soundtrack but rather a concept record, as Gaga explained during her chat with Kimmel. “It’s not the soundtrack,” she said. “It’s a concept record and it’s a companion piece to the film. So, whether you listen to it before you watch the movie or after, it’s like an extension of the world.” This unique approach, blending music and cinema, is classic Gaga, who’s never shied away from pushing boundaries.
Discussing her role in Joker: Folie à Deux, Gaga shared the challenges of playing Harley Quinn, particularly how she had to find a different voice for the character’s musical moments.
“Harley’s not a trained singer,” she said. “So I worked a lot on developing her voice and finding what was natural and raw to her. There’s a kind of brokenness in her. She’s got an inner storm, and I wanted it to come from there.”
Gaga’s conversation with Kimmel wasn’t all about the film and album, though. The pop icon also gave fans a peek into her personal life, recounting the story of her fiancé Michael Polansky’s unexpected proposal.
“He proposed to me right after my birthday,” she revealed, adding that Polansky, in true “Minnesota nice” fashion, asked for her permission before actually popping the question. “He wanted to know if it was okay to propose before he proposed. And I was like, ‘Yes, it’s so okay!’” she laughed.
The couple, who have kept much of their relationship private, might be planning a wedding, but Gaga teased that they’ve also talked about “just going to a courthouse and ordering Chinese food.”

The event, scheduled for Oct. 26 at 8 p.m. at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), offers fans a rare opportunity to hear Bon Jovi reflect on his remarkable journey, both as a musician and as a philanthropist.
With more than 130 million albums sold globally and hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “You Give Love a Bad Name” that defined the sound of rock in the ‘80s, Bon Jovi’s impact on popular music is undeniable. The band’s 1986 album Slippery When Wet spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and tracks from that album still resonate with fans today.

As the conversation unfolds, attendees can expect Colbert to delve into Bon Jovi’s experiences that led to iconic moments, including the band’s 2018 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Bon Jovi’s charitable work will also be a focal point of the evening. Through his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, established in 2006, Bon Jovi has raised millions to help combat issues of homelessness and hunger. His innovative “pay it forward” model at his JBJ Soul Kitchens—nonprofit community restaurants—has provided over 100,000 meals to those in need, ensuring that anyone can enjoy a meal, regardless of their ability to pay.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jon Bon Jovi to the Montclair Film Festival and to share what promises to be a special evening of conversation,” said Montclair Film Artistic Director and Co-Head Tom Hall.
“As an artist who embodies empathy and community, Jon’s work represents the values that inspireeverything we do at Montclair Film. We look forward to a wonderful night.”
This appearance comes during a banner year for Bon Jovi, following the release of the Hulu docuseries Thank You, Goodnight, which charts the band’s rise from New Jersey clubs to international superstardom. The series has given fans a behind-the-scenes look at more than four decades of music, performances, and personal moments, adding fresh perspective to Bon Jovi’s celebrated career.
Tickets for the Montclair Film Festival’s Evening of Conversation with Jon Bon Jovi, hosted by Stephen Colbert, will go on sale to Montclair Film and NJPAC members on Oct. 2, with general sales beginning Oct. 4. All proceeds will benefit Montclair Film’s programs and NJPAC’s arts education initiatives, helping to support arts programming across New Jersey.
As Bon Jovi sits down with Colbert, the audience will likely be reminded of the enduring power of music and the ways in which it intersects with community activism—a theme that has been present throughout Bon Jovi’s career. With 10 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, including 2016’s This House Is Not for Sale, Jon Bon Jovi remains as relevant as ever, continuing to inspire both on stage and off.
