Prince Royce notches his 23rd No. 1 on Billboard’s Tropical Airplay chart as “Me EnRD” lifts 2-1 to crown the July 8-dated ranking. The song unseats Marshmello and Manuel Turizo’s “El Merengue” from the lead, after its 13-week domination (it falls to No. 2).
“Me EnRD” lands at No. 1 in its 10th week after a steady climb, including five weeks at No. 2. It crowns the survey with a 4% increase in audience impressions, to 8 million, earned in the U.S. during the June 23-29 tracking week, according to Luminate.
“Me EnRD” is just the second Tropical Airplay-ruling song by an artist unaccompanied by any other act in 2023, after Manuel Turizo’s “La Bachata,” which led for five weeks (a total of 14 weeks in charge). With the 2-1 move, “EnRD” gifts Royce his 23rd champ, after Marc Anthony, who continues at the helm with 35 total No. 1s, and Victor Manuelle with 29.
Here’s the scoreboard with artists with the most No. 1s on Tropical Airplay since the chart begun in 1994:
35, Marc Anthony29, Victor Manuelle23, Prince Royce18, Romeo Santos14, Elvis Crespo14, Gilberto Santa Rosa13, Jerry Rivera
Beyond its Tropical Airplay coronation, “EnRD” makes progress on the overall Latin Airplay chart, with an 8-6 jump.

La Maquinaria Norteña hits top 10: Elsewhere on Latin Airplay, La Maquinaria Norteña captures its third top 10 as “Te Quiero Ver” climbs 16-9 with 7 million in audience impressions; that’s a 30% gain from the week prior, earned during the same period. It’s the biggest percentage gain among the 50-song deep tally.
As mentioned, “Te Quiero” is the norteño group’s third top 10 on Latin Airplay, all which arrived less than a year ago. The song follows La Maquinaria’s highest-charting title to date, the No. 4-peaking “Eres Ese Algo” (Feb. 25).
Further, “Quiero” nearly misses the No. 1 slot on Regional Mexican Airplay, as the song pushes 5-2.
It’s been quite a year for Peso Pluma, and we’ve only just past the midway point. By the end of 2022, he’d scored one hit on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. surveys, as “Siempre Pedientes” with Luis R Conriquez charted for three weeks on each ranking. As of the most recent, July 8-dated editions, he’s up to 22 entries on the Global 200, including seven debuts this week.
Peso Pluma’s debut studio album Génesis was released Thursday, June 22; thus, the current chart’s tracking week of June 23-29 marks the album’s first full frame of consumption. As previously reported, the set soars to No. 1 on Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums, and launches at No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200 (all of which reflect U.S. consumption).
The album’s song chart debuts are led by “Lady Gaga,” a collaboration with Gabito Ballesteros and Junior H starting at No. 14 on the Global 200 and No. 19 on the Global Excl. U.S. ranking. “Luna,” with Junior H, follows at Nos. 22 and 43, respectively. That trend continues, with all the Génesis tracks ranking higher on the Global 200 than on Global Excl. U.S., or simply missing the latter list.
The album’s 14 standard-edition tracks accumulated 227.2 million streams worldwide in the tracking week, according to Luminate. Almost half of those (45.3%) came from the U.S., compared to almost 55% beyond. While the scale technically tips toward Peso Pluma’s international prowess, that 45% U.S. share is more than double the average (22%) among this week’s charting songs (excluding Peso Pluma’s).
Peso Pluma is from Mexico and performs and records under the broad umbrella of Spanish-language regional Mexican music. But given Mexico’s close proximity to the American south, many genre artists hail from Texas and neighboring states, helping to create a strong listenership between the two countries. Even though Peso Pluma himself is not from the U.S., American fans have clearly been eager for his modern interpretation of regional Mexican styles.
In addition, Peso Pluma boasts eight non-Génesis tracks on this week’s Global 200. Those display a more balanced global spread, averaging 31% domestic streams and 69% otherwise. That is likely due, in part, to the singer’s genre-hopping, with collaborations on reggaeton-leaning songs, such as Yng Lvcas’ “La Bebe” and Bizarrap’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 55.”
“La Bebe” and “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 55,” both in the top 20, sport just 21% and 22%, respectively, of their streams from the U.S., as his collaborators and the songs’ pop-adjacent production have a wider appeal in Latin and South America. For chart proof, those tracks appear on eight and seven of Billboard’s Hits of the World charts, respectively, “Lady Gaga” only shows up on Mexico Songs, at No. 1.
On June 29, a deluxe version of Génesis was released, including three additional tracks. Two of those – “PRC,” with Natanael Cano and “Las Morras,” with Blessd – previously charted. The third, “Tulum,” with Grupo Frontera, is a newly released song, and potentially yet another debut on next global charts.
J Balvin is back on social media after taking a nearly 10-month hiatus, and now that he’s back, he’s shared a real-life fan encounter on TikTok — or rather, “fan” encounter.

In a recent video that he shared with his more than 20 million TikTok followers on Wednesday (July 5), Balvin is seen meeting a gentleman who claims to be his fan. “Who’s this sir?” asks the person recording the video. “Maluma … bien moso (good looking)” replies the man without hesitation and a big smile on his face. An astonished Balvin just smiles back and says, “Maluma baby… Don Juan!” before taking a photo with his “fan.”
The Colombian artist then captioned the video with “the one who is cute is cute and that’s why they confuse him. Don Juan, they are looking for you.”
The video was backed by Balvin’s comeback single “En Alta” with newcomers Quevedo, Yovngchimi and Omar Courtz. The Hear This Music-produced track is an infectious electro-trap fusion about manifesting nothing but good vibes and being surrounded by positive-minded people.
“Really right now, I’ve been focused on my family,” he told Billboard earlier this year about his break from the internet and creating music. “I left social media to be connected to my reality and to my family. That has taught me a lot — to live more in the present. Obviously, I miss my fans, but when the time is right, I’ll be back.”
Now that he’s back, he’s been spotted hanging out with his colleagues, including his good friend Maluma, who shared the stage with Balvin at his Ibiza concert.
“It’s been more than 10 years without sharing a stage,” Balvin expressed on Instagram after the two performed their 2019 collaborative effort “Que Pena.” “It’s such an honor seeing the big artist you’ve become and even bigger, the person you are. And see how sexy we are, jejeje.”
The Balvin and Maluma bromance goes unnoticed, and it’s easy to see why fans confuse them. See the funny moment below:
Edgardo Nuñez and Los Dareyes de la Sierra are both officially Billboard Hot 100 hitmakers thanks to their new collaboration with Peso Pluma, “VVS.”
The song, released June 22 via Double P Records on Peso Pluma’s new album Génesis, debuts at No. 54 on the July 8-dated Hot 100 with 8.7 million U.S. streams earned in the June 23-29 tracking week, according to Luminate.

It starts at No. 10 on Hot Latin Songs, where it’s Nuñez’s first top 10, as well as No. 69 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 186 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.

Nuñez, who is based in Phoenix after growing up in Sinaloa, Mexico, first appeared on Billboard’s charts in August 2022 with his collaboration with Fuerza Regida, “Billete Grande.” The track reached No. 16 on Hot Latin Songs. In November, he scored his second chart entry — “Loco Enamorado” with Junior H (No. 30 peak on Hot Latin Songs).
Nuñez has released eight solo LPs, dating to 2018. He dropped his most recent set, No Ando Solo, in April through Genesis Records.
Los Dareyes de la Sierra, a norteño group from Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico, has been charting on Billboard since 2005. The act first reached a Billboard list that November with “El Jabali,” which hit No. 21 on Regional Mexican Airplay.
The group’s second chart entry, “Hasta El Dia De Hoy,” spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay in 2008. It also climbed to No. 3 on Hot Latin Songs, becoming the group’s first entry on that tally. The band has charted 11 songs on Regional Mexican Airplay, two others of which have reached the top 10: “Sufre” (No. 3, 2009) and “Ensename a Olvidar” (No. 5, 2011).
On Hot Latin Songs, Los Dareyes de la Sierra have logged eight appearances. Before “VVS,” the group last charted with “Malas Rachas (En Vivo),” with Tony Aguirre and Luis R Conriquez (No. 37 peak, February). Before that, they had last debuted on Hot Latin Songs in 2011 with “Ensename a Olvidar” (No. 11).
Plus, Los Dareyes de la Sierra have notched five entries on Regional Mexican Albums, including three top 10s: Con Banda (No. 3, 2008), Una Copa Mas (No. 3, 2009) and Me Gusta Lo Bueno (No. 5, 2010). Seven of the group’s albums have hit the all-Latin-encompassing Top Latin Albums chart.
The group is comprised of José Darey Castro, Miguel Enrique Razcón and Juan Vázquez.
Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef are divorcing after six years of marriage, the pair announced in a joint statement on Thursday (July 6). “For some time, we have considered transforming our relationship, and it is after careful consideration that we have decided to end our marriage with love, respect, and dignity for our children — […]
Fuerza Regida is creating a buzz on social media with its latest release “Sabor Fresa,” which translates to “strawberry flavor.”
In the new corrido, the Mexican-American group chants about being a lady’s man and attracting the prettiest girls in town. In the NSFW music video, lead vocalist Jésus Ortiz Paz (JOP) is seen channeling a plastic surgeon who works at day and parties with his clients at night.
To back up the song and video’s concept, JOP even launched a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) giveaway on TikTok, encouraging fans to use the #SaborFresa sound and hashtag to participate.
But beyond its witty lyrics, catchy rhythm and the giveaway, “Sabor Fresa” debuts at No. 3 on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart, becoming the group’s highest debut to date, and its third top 10.
Below, check out the full lyrics translated to English:

Waiter, bring champagneThat I want to please the ladies in the backThey already saw me dancingWith the moves I have, I was able to impress them
The girls are qualityWith a small waist, they like to dance sexyThe lady kisses and kisses meStrawberry, strawberry flavor, she wants to get dirty
How do you see it, my comradeIf we go to the pool?Let them take off their expensive clothesConfirm it, carnal, we managed to crown
I like to hang out with the crewLots of operated, preppy girlsLet them take off their expensive clothesWe don’t quit here, always at war
How is it morning already?Darn poison, it has me sleeplessAn aguachile (Mexican dish) at the portFrom Muchacho Alegre, they open for me whenever
I already confessed to the rosaryMijo, you are great, walk without fearDon’t get wavy on meBecause I don’t think about it nor does my finger tremble
How do you see it, my comradeIf we go to the pool?Let them take off their expensive clothesConfirm it, carnal, we managed to crown
I like to hang out with the crewLots of operated, preppy girlsLet them take off their expensive clothesWe don’t quit here, always at war
And here are the original Spanish lyrics:
Mesero, traiga champagneQue quiero complacer las babies de atrásYa me vieron al bailarCon el paso que cargo logré apantallarLas morras de calidadCon una cinturita, les gusta perrearLa niña me besa y besaFresa, sabor fresa, quiere bellaquear
¿Cómo la ve, mi camaradaSi nos vamos pa’ la albercada?Que se quiten la ropa caraAfírmale, carnal, logramos coronarMe gusta andar con la plebadaPuras fresitas operadasQue se quiten la ropa caraAquí no le bajamos, siempre beliqueando
Otro pedoComo siempre viejoFuerza Regida
¿Cómo que va amaneciendo?Bendito veneno, me tiene sin sueñoUn aguachile en el puertoDe El Muchacho Alegre, me abren cuando quieroYa me confesé el rosarioMijo, tú eres grande, camina sin miedoNo se me pongan ondeadosPorque no la pienso ni me tiembla el dedo
¿Cómo la ve, mi camaradaSi nos vamos pa’ la albercada?Que se quiten la ropa caraAfírmale, carnal, logramos coronarMe gusta andar con la plebadaPuras fresitas operadasQue se quiten la ropa caraAquí no le bajamos, siempre beliqueando
Ahuevo viejoFui, soy, y seguiré

Peso Pluma continues to make his mark across the Billboard charts. This time, he’s done it with his third studio album, Génesis.
The set now has the biggest week by units earned for a regional Mexican album ever, dating back to when the all-genre Billboard 200 began ranking by units in December 2014. The previous largest week by total units arrived just less than two months ago, when Eslabon Armado’s Desvelado launched with 44,000 units (May 13-dated list).
The Guadalajara-born rapper and singer also reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 after earning 73,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during its first official tracking week ending June 29, according to Luminate.

The new set from Peso Pluma — which features collabs with Música Mexicana stars Natanael Cano, Junior H and Luis R Conriquez, to name a few — has also earned the 24-year-old singer his first No. 1 on any album chart. Génesis — which features previously released singles “Rosa Pastel” with Jasiel Nuñez, the Eladio Carrión-assisted “77,” and “Bye” — skyrocketed to No. 1 (from No. 35) on the Top Latin Albums chart (dated July 8) after its first full tracking week, and also jumped 10-1 on Regional Mexican Albums.
On the former chart, Génesis becomes only the fourth regional Mexican effort to lead Top Latin Albums this decade, following Alejandro Fernández’s Hecho en México (Feb. 29, 2020) and two Eslabon Armado albums — Vibras de Noche (August 2020) and Desvelado (May 2023).
“It took me a while to assimilate what was happening,” Peso previously told Billboard of his rapid success. “To see my name on the charts, to see my name next to really important artists, I always dreamed of this. I know it’s all happening so fast, but that doesn’t mean that we’re going to stop working hard. On the contrary, I feel obligated to continue delivering hits.”

Génesis’ coronation arrives a week after the album debuted on both lists (dated July 1) with only one day of activity. The original version of the album, comprising 14 tracks, was released on an off-cycle Thursday (June 22), the final day of the June 16-22 tracking week. The new Génesis, containing three bonus tracks, dropped June 30. Both versions of the album have been combined for tracking and charting purposes, while the original version has been removed from platforms.
According to Luminate, Génesis earned 73,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during its first official tracking week ending June 29. It becomes the biggest week by units earned for a regional Mexican album ever, dating back to when the all-genre Billboard 200 chart began ranking by units in December 2014. The previous largest week by total units arrived just less than two months ago, when Eslabon Armado’s Desvelado launched with 44,000 units (May 13-dated list).
An equivalent album unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album (track equivalent album units, TEA), or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album (streaming equivalent album units, SEA).
Largest Streaming Week for a Regional Mexican Album: As is standard among new artists, streaming powers nearly all of Génesis’ first-week totals. Out of its 73,000 units, 72,000 stem from SEA units. That figure equals to 101.18 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs. Traditional album sales contribute just under 1,000 of the remaining balance, with a slice of negligible units deriving from TEA.
With 101.8 million streams, Génesis boasts the largest streaming week ever for a regional Mexican album. Previously, Eslabon Armado’s Desvelado drew the largest, with 63.51 million official U.S. streams (May 13).
Génesis becomes only the fifth Latin album to garner at least 100 million on-demand streams for its songs in a single week, following multiple weeks by Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti, two for Bunny’s YHLQMDLG, one for Bunny’s El Último Tour del Mundo, and one for Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito.
Further, Génesis becomes the fourth regional Mexican effort to lead Top Latin Albums this decade, after Alejandro Fernández’s Hecho en México (one week, Feb. 29, 2020) and two Eslabon Armado albums, Vibras de Noche (one week, Aug. 2020) and Desvelado (one week, May13).
Elsewhere, Génesis launches at No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200, his first entry and top 10 there. The set concurrently outpaces the two other regional Mexican albums which have seized a spot in the top 10, both by Eslabon Armado: Nostalgia (No. 9 debut and peak, May 2022) and Desvelado (No. 6 debut and peak, May 13).
The new July 8, 2023-dated charts will be posted in full on Billboard’s website on July 5, one day later than usual due to the Independence Day holiday in the U.S. on Tuesday, July 4. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.
