It’s Lucky No. 7 for Prince Royce…

The 24-year-old Dominican American singer-songwriter’s latest single “Te Robaré” has reached the summit on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart.

The single raches 4-1 on the chart to give Prince Royce his seventh consecutive chart-topper on the list and his eighth No. 1 single overall.

In terms of successive No. 1s, the Bachata singer ranks second only to Enrique Iglesias, who started his chart career with eight straight trips to the summit (1995-97).

“Te Robaré” rises with 14.6 million audience impressions (up 33 percent), according to Nielsen BDS.

Royce will perform live on Telemundo‘s broadcast of the 2014 Billboard Latin Music Awards on April 24. He’s a 16-time finalist in 15 categories, including artist of the year.

On Top Latin Albums, 3BallMTY debuts its newest set, Globall, which enters at No. 4 with 2,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The Mexican trio, known for blending tribal-guachera with electronic sounds, also climbs 22-18 on the sales/airplay/streaming-based Hot Latin Songs chart with “La Noche Es Tuya,” featuring America Sierra and Gerardo Ortiz.

Mexican pop group Camila is back with new single “Decidiste Dejarme.” Formerly a trio, the duo enters Hot Latin Songs at No. 31 with the first track from its forthcoming album, due in June.

The cut debuts at No. 13 on the  Latin Digital Songs chart, moving 2,000 downloads in its opening week. The group had last charted with “De Que Me Sirve La Vida,” which reached No. 24 on Hot Latin Songs in April 2012.

The members of 3BallMTY proved to be the beaus of the ball at this year’s Billboard Mexican Music Awards.

The Mexican tribal music troupe – comprised of Erick Rincon, Sergio Zavala (Dj Sheeqo Beat) and Alberto Presenda (Dj Otto) – earned the most awards of any artist/act during Thursday night’s nationally televised awards show, which honors regional Mexican music.

This year’s 12-time nominee 3BallMTY picked up nine awards, including New Artist of the Year, Artist of the Year, Duo or Group; Song Artist of the Year and Digital Download Artist of the Year.

The awards show was broadcast live on Telemundo from Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and featured genre-breaking performances from 3BallMTY together with reggaetón duo J King & Maximán, as well as more traditional fare from Conjunto Primavera and Los Huracanes del Norte.

3BallMTY’s wins helped to shine a spotlight on the dynamic nature of regional Mexican music, the top-selling Latin sub-genre in the United States. The trio of DJs, who only released their debut album last year – and who had their network performance premiere on the first Billboard Mexican Music Awards – also won Songs Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for the single “Inténtalo,” featuring El Bebeto and América Sierra.

“In Mexico there have always been new waves,” said 3Ball MTY’s Zavala on the red carpet outside of Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium. “We brought something fresh with the electronic sound [and] tribal is really growing.”

 

Meanwhile, last year’s big winner, norteño star Gerardo Ortiz, picked up seven awards, including Artist of the Year and Artist of the Year, Male. Ortiz’s album Entre Dios y el Diablo also won the Album of the Year Award.

A special award for the evening was given to ranchera singer/songwriter Pepe Aguilar, who received Billboard‘s Legacy Award in recognition of his lengthy and rich musical trajectory that has influenced the genre and its artists.

Legendary ranchera singer Vicente Fernández, currently on a farewell tour, swept the ranchero/mariachi category, winning Ranchero/Mariachi Album of the Year for Otra Vez, Song of the Year with “El Vestido Blanco” and overall Ranchero/Mariachi Artist of the Year.

Jenni Rivera won Artist of the Year, Female and Banda Album of the Year for her album Joyas Prestadas.

Billboard Mexican Music Awards finalists and winners are determined by chart performance as chronicled in Billboard Magazine and on Billboard.com during the eligibility period of August 27, 2011 through August 18, 2012. Award categories are based on album and digital track sales data provided by Nielsen SoundScan and radio airplay monitored by Nielsen BDS.
