The announcement comes as Jesse & Joy’s,Un Besito Mas arrives at the top spot with 3,000 copies sold during the tracking week ending Dec. 10 (according to Nielsen Music).

The entry marks the fourth charted set for the Mexican siblings who first reached the tally in 2009 with Electricidad (No. 14 peak).

Meanwhile, single “Ecos de Amor,” from Besito, hops 35-32 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in its 12th week.

The reggae-inspired up-tempo track comes from Shakira’s upcoming album, due March 25.  The set will be her first with RCA Records, and first English-language album since 2009’s She Wolf.

Pop radio has taken a liking to the version featuring Rihanna. Dave Adams, program director of pop station WRNW Milwaukee, told Billboard, “Their vocals complement each other well. The song has good tempo, as well as a memorable hook, so I think as a lot of potential to be a hit.”
