“Amor Bonito,” released on Sept. 19 via Sony Music Latin, lands at the summit with the Greatest Gainer honors of the week thanks to a 53% gain in audience impressions — up to 8 million — earned in the U.S. for the tracking week of Nov. 22-28, according to Luminate. The song trades places with last week’s champ, Jessi Uribe’s “Si Ya Me Voy,” which dips 1-6 due to a 24% drop in impressions.
While “Amor Bonito” gives Angel his first No. 1 as a solo singer — dating to his first visit to a Billboard radio chart in 2021 — the Mexican singer has been part of many No. 1s in the past. While he was the lead singer of Banda Los Recoditos, the group achieved 13 No. 1s across various Latin rankings (both albums and songs) during a 13-year career with the band.

Beyond his first champ on Regional Mexican Airplay as a soloist, El Flaco has claimed six other top 10s, nearly missing the No. 1 slot with the No. 2-peaking “Una Julio 70” in 2022. In total, he’s landed seven times in the upper region among 10 career performances.
“Amor Bonito” also gives El Flaco his second top 10 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, where it surges 12-2 for his best placement to date. “Una Julio 70” took him to his first top 10, peaking at No. 6, in December 2022.
El Flaco’s first No. 1 song, produced by Arturo Gárate and written by Meño Segovia, concurrently earns him a maiden appearance on the Emerging Artists chart with a No. 42 debut. The chart ranks the most popular developing artists of the week, using the same formula as the all-encompassing Billboard Artist 100, which measures artist activity across multiple Billboard charts, including the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200.
El Flaco’s breakthrough arrives on the heels of the banda singer’s Latin Grammy award nomination for best música banda album for Yo Te Extrañaré.
