On Regional Mexican Airplay, “Por Qué Será” lifts from No. 3 in its eighth week after a 23% gain in audience impressions, to 7.4 million, in the tracking week of July 26-Aug. 1, according to Luminate. The move sends Becky G and Oscar Maydon’s “Mercedes” to No. 4, with 4.9 million impressions, which translates to a 23% decline from the prior week.
With the new champ Frontera captures its 10th No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay, and ties with Grupo Firme for the ninth-most among groups since the chart launched in 1994. The song follows and equal winner, “(Entre Paréntesis),” with Shakira, which earned the pop icon her first leader on a regional Mexican tally (May 18-dated list).
The ranchera “Por Qué Será,” meanwhile, gifts Maluma his third champ. The Colombian singer topped the tally twice before, through “Cada Quien,” with Grupo Firme, for two weeks in charge in 2022, and with Carin León on “Según Quién” in Dec. 2023.
“Por Qué Será” joins one other song from its parent album Jugando a Que No Pasa Nada, that reached the summit on Regional Mexican Airplay: “Ya Pedo Quién Sabe,” with Christian Nodal, topped the radio ranking for one week in May.
Further, “Por Qué Será” also gains terrain on the overall Latin Airplay chart, pushing 5-2.
If you haven’t heard, Drake dumped 100 gigabytes of content online Tuesday, and in the second folder, there’s a video clip that shows Drake, 40, and some friends discussing when to expect Jay-Z‘s “Talk Up” last-minute feature verse from the Toronto rapper’s fifth solo album Scorpion.
So apparently, Jay was on tour with his wife Beyoncé and planned to record and submit his verse afterward at the venue. In the clip, Drake tells 40 he plans to take a quick two-hour power nap so he can be around just in case the veteran rapper has some questions or concerns.
Trending on Billboard
Journalist Elliott Wilson posted the clip on his Instagram, and Jay’s longtime DJ and engineer Young Guru decided to gives fans the backstory to how they were able to get Drake the verse on time in the comments.
Between having to DJ during the show, being in charge of building a makeshift studio on the fly at the venue, and being late to a party he was booked to DJ months in advance, Guru’s night was pretty hectic. Here’s how he remembers the night in question:
We are on [the On the Run II Tour]. Remember I’m the DJ. Hov hit me and simply said, “Set up a studio in the venue.” I’m like, “What?” But, of course, I get it done. We go out and do a two-hour show.
Mind you, he has to remember every verse from every album. No backing tracks. I’m DJing, I can’t miss a cue or [musical director Omar Edwards] would kill me. We finish the show. We go back in the room to finish the verse, but the problem is I have an afterparty. I can’t [remember] what city or country in Europe, but understand, my parties have been set up months before the tour.
The promotor waited in [the] parking lot for two hours and I can’t tell him why I’m late. By the time Hov finished, the Internet that we set up from Live Nation is gone. Everyone is gone. I had to tether my phone to my computer to send the session to [Drake’s producer Noah “40” Shebib]. I made it to the club just in time for my set.
When y’all hear this work I sometimes wonder if you understand how much goes into it!!!! Classic Nights!!!! And I killed my set lol.
