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.
Mexican group Los Ángeles de Charly earn their first No. 1 on a Billboard radio chart – and any Billboard song ranking – with “El Primer Tonto,” which climbs 7-1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay ranking (dated Sept. 28).

“Thank, thank you, thank you,” Becies tells Billboard. “I’m a bit nervous and super grateful with all the support with this song and all the people who were part of this beautiful project. It’s a beautiful surprise for us a group that motivates us to keep on going.”

“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.
Thanks to “El Primer Tonto,” imprints VMG and Colmena secure their first No. 1 on any Billboard chart. In addition to the two imprints, the “El Primer Tonto” triumph also gives Azteca Records its second champ as a label, following La Fiera de Ojinaga’s one-week reign on Regional Mexican Airplay with “La Luna de Miel” in August 2022.
Los Ángeles de Charly’s first champ on Regional Mexican Airplay arrives 20 years after their last top 10, when “Y Qué” reached No. 10 high in May 2004. In sum, the Mexican cumbia group have logged six top 10s since 1999, with the No. 4-peaking “Un Sueño” in 2001 their highest-charting song until now.
Elsewhere, “El Primer Tonto” advances to its No. 3 peak on the overall Latin Airplay tally, where Los Ángeles de Charly earn their first top 10 to date.
The song is part of the group’s forthcoming studio album to be released in December 2024.
Pepe Aguilar rockets to No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart (dated Sept. 14) with “Mira Quién Lo Dice,” as the song flies 18-1. That’s the biggest jump to the top in 2024, earning Greatest Gainer honors, awarded weekly to the song with the largest gain in audience.

“Mira Quién Lo Dice” registered 5.8 million in audience impressions, up 104%, on U.S. monitored regional Mexican stations during the Aug. 30-Sept. 5 tracking week, according to Luminate. That audience swell arrives from Univision stations WOJO-FM (Chicago), KSCA-FM (Los Angeles) and KLNO-FM (Dallas) during the tracking period.
The new leader gives Aguilar his third champ on Regional Mexican Airplay spanning over 26 years of career entries, since the No. 2-peaking “Por Mujeres Como Tú,” earned him a first top 10 in 1998.
Prior to “Mira Quién Lo Dice,” two other songs landed at the summit. Earlier, a collab with his son Leonardo Aguilar on “Bandido de Amores” gave the San Antonio, Texas-born singer-songwriter his second No. 1 (chart dated July 6). And in 2021, “Tus Desprecios” with El Fantasma, secured Aguilar his first ruler.
Among Aguilar’s three champs, “Mira Quién” endured the longest wait to the top, a 12-week canter, four weeks longer than his previous slowest, “Bandido,” which wrapped an eight-week run to No. 1 in July.

As “Mira Quién” rallies to the summit on Regional Mexican Airplay from No. 18, it scores the biggest jump to No. 1 in 2024, and the second-biggest this decade, trailing Maná and Eden Muñoz’s 18-rank climb to No. 1 last November.
In total, “Mira Quién” is the fourth of 407 champs on the 1994-launched Regional Mexican Airplay chart to jump from No. 18 or lower directly to No. 1. Here’s the recap:
Position Change, Song Title, Artist, Date Reach No. 128-1, “Poema De Amor,” Renan Almendarez Coello, Dec. 2, 200021-1, “Volé Muy Alto,” Los Huracanes del Norte, Nov. 24, 200719-1, “Amor Clandestino,” Maná & Eden Muñoz, Nov. 11, 202318-1, “Mira Quien Lo Dice,” Pepe Aguilar, Sept. 14, 2024
Beyond its Regional Mexican Airplay coronation, “Mira Quién” also vaults 31-4 on the overall Latin Airplay tally, for Aguilar’s 13th top 10 there.
The radio achievement follows Aguilar’s performance of “Mira Quién Lo Dice” on Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Kelly Clarkson show in July.

“La Misión” takes the podium with 4.2 million audience impressions, up 10%, logged in the week ending Aug. 8, according to Luminate. Puerto Rico’s Univision station WKAQ-FM takes the lead among the song’s biggest supporters during the tracking week, while New York’s SBS WSKQ, comes in second.

“Since ‘Déjala Que Vuelva’ in 2018, we hadn’t reached these heights, and we’re thrilled to be back at the top,” Pablo Mejía, aka, Pablito tells Billboard. “All good things take time, and this is proof once again.”

Back on Latin Pop Airplay, the Colombians previously secured three other top 10s from 13 total chart appearances, the highest being “Más De La Una” with Maluma for a No. 3 high in 2021.
“We’ve spent many years evolving Piso 21’s sound while staying true to its essence and soul,” David Escobar, who goes by Dim, adds. “‘La Misión’ is a testament to that effort.”
In addition to Piso 21, “La Misión’s” success also secures a Latin Pop Airplay achievement for Wisin, who despite being a reggaetón artist, has become a staple in the ranking with 36 total appearances. Among those, six reached No. 1. The Puerto Rican was last in charge through another Colombian partnership, as “Buenos Días” with Camilo ruled for one week in 2022.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported us in this endeavor; we couldn’t have done it without you,” adds Piso 21’s David Lorduy, known as just Lorduy.
Elsewhere, “La Misión” gains territory on the overall Latin Airplay chart, entering the top 20 for the first time, at No. 16. It’s the highest ranking for both acts in over two years.

Amor Prohibido blasts in at No. 1 on Vinyl Albums scoring the Latin legend her second No. 1 on the 13-year-old tally. It follows the No. 1-peaking Ones, which spent one week in charge in 2020.
Trending on Billboard
Amor Prohibido bows with 10,000 vinyl copies sold in the U.S. during the July 5-11 tracking week, according to Luminate. Selena almost doubles her previous largest week on vinyl, notched in 2020 when Ones sold 6,000 copies in its second week on the chart (July 18, 2020-dated list). That week, a limited-edition vinyl version of the greatest hits album prompted the set’s re-entry at No. 1. It earlier debuted on the list in 2016 with 3,000 sold in its first week (Nov. 5, 2016 chart). When Ones re-entered the list at No. 1, it became the first Latin album to top Vinyl Albums since the chart launched in Jan. 2011.
The new remastered Amor Prohibido was pressed on four vinyl variants – a standard clear color edition, a Target-exclusive pink color (containing a poster), a Spotify-exclusive coke bottle clear edition, and a picture-disc variant sold via Selena’s webstore.
The new version of Amor Prohibido was also issued on CD, cassette (exclusive to Selena’s webstore) and digital download. All versions – old and new — are combined for tracking and charting purposes. All of the 2024 editions of the album retain the tracklist of the original 10-song 1994 album.
In total, Amor Prohibido marks just the fourth Latin album to reach No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart – out of the 499 total No. 1s on the list. The set stands alongside Selena’s Ones (one week, July 2020), Bad Bunny’s Anniversary Trilogy (one week, Jan. 2022) and Kali Uchis’ Orquídeas (one week, Jan. 2024). Uchis also scored another No. 1 effort on Vinyl Albums, through her English-language set, Red Moon In Venus in March 2023.
In addition to its No. 1 debut on Vinyl Albums with 10,000 copies sold, Amor Prohibido re-enters Top Album Sales, after almost three decades, at No. 4, with 11,000 sold (across all configurations, physical and digital, of the album). Plus, it climbs 47-5 on Top Latin Albums and 21-4 on Regional Mexican Albums with 13,000 equivalent album units earned during the same period, 2,000 stemming from streaming activity, which equates to 3.54 million on-demand official streams of the album’s 10 songs.
In 1994, Amor Prohibido became the first Tejano album to reach No. 1 on Top Latin Albums, spending 20 total weeks at No. 1. It was just the second set to top the still-young chart (which launched in July of 1993), after Gloria Estefan’s Mi Tierra ruled for 58 weeks between July 1993 and June 1994.
Three of the album’s songs ruled Hot Latin Songs in 1994: “Amor Prohibido” (nine weeks), “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” (four) and “No Me Queda Más” (seven weeks).
Three weeks after Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs, the song rolls 3-1 on the Tropical Airplay chart (dated July 20), for the Colombian’s first No. 1 there. It’s the second track by a female soloist, unaccompanied by another act, to rule the tally in the 2020s.

While “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” gives Karol G her first champ on Tropical Airplay, the singer-songwriter previously achieved a No. 8 high through “Casi Nada” in 2016, before the chart became genre-based.
The track, produced in partnership with Coke Studio, makes Karol G the second solo woman, unaccompanied by any other act, to lead Tropical Airplay this decade, after Rosalía hit No. 1 with “Despechá” in 2022. Prior, La India ruled with “Dímelo” for one week in 2016.

The Cuban-American baseball player, and now also Latin pop artist, sang “OMG” live for the first time after a 7-2 Mets’ win over the Houston Astros at Citi Field in Flushing, N.Y., on June 28. According to Luminate, the single sold a little over 1,000 downloads in the United States during the June 29-July 4-tracking week.
The high-spirited song, adopted as a Mets anthem, about overcoming hard times, and penned by Iglesias in 2023, has translated into a fastball of positive energy for the Mets (who are now up to 45-45 on the season following a win on July 9), and Iglesias, who captures his first Billboard No. 1 entry on a first try.
Trending on Billboard
Notably, Iglesias’ new No. 1 matches the uniform number that’s he’s worn over the years; he now sports No. 11 for the Mets. The 34-year-old broke through to the majors in 2011 with the Boston Red Sox and has played for seven Major League Baseball teams. He’s currently hitting .313, having compiled a .279 average in over 1,000 big league games.
Iglesias/Candelita, meanwhile, joins other baseball players-turned artists who have scored hits in the musical field, and on Billboard rankings. Here’s a team of five such notable stars:
Deion Sanders: The former baseball and football player – aka, “Prime Time” – played 14 years in the NFL and nine in MLB. He made his Billboard chart debut in 1995 with Prime Time, his debut album released in 1994 through MC Hammer’s Bust It Records. The 16-track effort hit No. 14 on Heatseekers Albums and No. 70 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Also, an actor and football coach, Sanders won Super Bowls XXIX and XXX and earned eight NFL Pro Bowl selections between 1991 and 1999.
Bernie Williams: The Puerto Rican-born former all-star baseball player and four-time World Series winner for the New York Yankees, secured his first entry on the Billboard 200 as The Journey Within debuted in 2003 and reached No. 57. The 13-track set concurrently took Williams to No. 3 on Jazz Albums. In 2009, he topped Smooth Jazz Airplay with “Go for It” after his LP Moving Forward gave him another No. 3 peak on Jazz Albums. “Ritmo De Otoño,” featuring Dave Koz, marked Williams’ second Smooth Jazz Airplay No. 1, holding strong at the summit for seven weeks in 2010.
Bronson Arroyo: In 2005, the Cuban-American baseball player, a veteran of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds and Arizona Diamondbacks, achieved his first entry on Billboard 200 with the No. 123 debut and peak of his collection Covering the Bases, which also reached No. 2 on Heatseekers Albums. The set capitalized on the pitcher/musician’s popularity after the Red Sox, for whom he won 10 games in 2004, won the World Series that year, ending a famed 86-year title drought.
Barry Zito: The former American baseball player, who pitched for the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants, reached No. 18 on Heatseekers Albums with his EP No Secrets in 2017. He now focuses on producing and writing music. “My dream in music was always to be a writer-producer, even in my early baseball days, when I was able to hang out with some amazing producers in L.A.,” the 2002 American League Cy Young Award winner and 2012 World Series champ told Billboard earlier this year. “After I came to Nashville in 2015, [I] was a little more into the songwriting, which I view now as so necessary. Writing with a lot of great writers and published writers helped me so much in my role now as a producer.”
Yoán Moncada: In 2021, the Cuban-American, and Chicago White Sox infielder since 2017, reached a No. 16 high on the Tropical Airplay chart with “Desastre Personal.” This week, he began a rehab assignment following an injury that has limited him to 11 major league games this year, although he hit .282 when playing. He scored single-year bests of 25 home runs and 79 runs batted in and a .315 average in 2019.
