It’s Lucky No. 7 for Carín León.
The 35-year-old Mexican singer-songwriter and Regional Mexican music superstar has added his seventh No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart with his latest single, “El Amor de Mi Herida.”
The song jumps from No. 3 for its first week atop the ranking dated March 15.
“El Amor de Mi Herida” crowns Regional Mexican Airplay after a 40% surge in audience impressions, to 8.2 million, earned in the U.S. during the February 28-March 6 tracking week, according to Luminate.
That swell makes it the Greatest Gainer of the week, a weekly award for the song with the greatest increase in plays at the format.
Before “El Amor de Mi Herida,” León managed six other champs among 13 top 10s and a total of 17 career entries on Regional Mexican Airplay. His breakthrough cut “Me La Aventé” reached No. 6 high in 2019. He has placed at least one top 10 every year since.
“El Amor de Mi Herida” races to No. 1 in four weeks, the fastest for any track this year, and the fastest among all of León’s seven rulers on Regional Mexican Airplay.
The next-fastest climb to No. 1 this year came when Calibre 50 reached the summit in six weeks, through “El Sueño Americano” (chart dated March 1). Four other songs captured the top spot in 2025, all in seven weeks or more.
Here’s a look at Leon’s collection of No. 1s, from the fastest to the slowest climb to the top:
