Eden Muñoz rules the Regional Mexican roost…
The 34-year-old Mexican singer, songwriter and producer of Regional Mexican music rises 3-1 on Billboard’s November 16-dated Regional Mexican Airplay chart with “Traigo Saldo y Ganas de Rogar.”
Muñoz’s latest No. 1 comes only a month after he led with “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto.”
It’s the second song to enter the tally from his second-studio album, Eden.
“Extremely happy to land, once again, atop the chart with a song as important as ‘Traigo Saldo,’” Muñoz tells Billboard. “Not only for representing my roots; I’m talking about banda music. Congratulations to the entire team and of course, grateful for all who continue to trust my music.”
“Traigo Saldo y Ganas de Rogar” takes the lead on Regional Mexican Airplay with a 38% increase in audience impressions, to 8.1 million, earned on U.S. monitored stations during the November 1-7 tracking week, according to Luminate.
With the gain, Muñoz sends Joss Favela and Luis R. Conriquez’s “Con Todo Respetillo” to No. 2, after the latter’s one week in charge.
With the chart-topping success of “Traigo Saldo y Ganas de Rogar” Muñoz picks up his sixth No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay since “ Chale!” his longest-leading song, ruled for three weeks in 2022.
Plus, Muñoz secures his third champ of the year, along with Alejandro Fernández, the most for any solo singer in 2024.
Here’s a recap of Muñoz’s collection of No. 1 hits, dating to his first as a soloist, in 2022:
