Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma continue finding combined success on the Billboard charts.
The Regional Mexican group’s team-up with the 24-year-old Mexican singer/songwriter continues to pay dividends as “Ella Baila Sola” commands yet another Billboard chart: It rises 3-1 to lead the Latin Airplay list dated June 17.
The song adds a sixth chart domination after leading Billboard’s Global 200, Hot Latin Songs, Regional Mexican Airplay, Latin Streaming Songs and Latin Digital Songs Sales charts.
“Ella Baila Sola” locks its No. 1 spot on the overall Latin Airplay chart with a 1% gain in audience impressions, to 10.4 million, logged during the June 2-8 tracking week, according to Luminate.
The collab ousts another pair-up from the lead: Marshmello and Manuel Turizo’s “El Merengue” ruled the June 10-dated survey, and falls to No. 3 on the current chart.
As “Ella Baila Sola” hits No. 1 on Latin Airplay, Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma both cement the Regional Mexican genre’s authority across Latin radio stations in the U.S.
It’s the third regional Mexican song to top the tally in 2023, after Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera’s “Bebe Dame” (one week, March 25) and Grupo Frontera and Bad Bunny’s “Un x100to” (three weeks starting the May 20-dated list).
Those three champs join Alejandro Fernández’s “Caballero” and La Adictiva Banda San José de Mesillas’ “Escondidos,” which ruled for one week each in 2020, making a total of five No. 1 hits on Latin Airplay this decade. With just three years in, the ‘20s might match or outperform the ‘90s, when 18 regional Mexican tracks coronated Latin Airplay — six in 1997 alone — the largest provider of No. 1-charting titles stemming from the genre since the chart launched in 1994.
As “Ella Baila” arrives at the summit, both Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma score their first No. 1 there.
Eslabon Armado secured a No. 6-high through the Ulices Chaidez-collab “Te Encontré” in June 2021. Meanwhile, Peso Pluma’s “La Bebe,” with Ynv Lvcas, rises 8-6 on the current ranking.
“Ella Baila Sola” has now commanded six Billboard charts.
