Banda Los Recoditos has nine lives…
The Mexican banda group has collected its ninth No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart as “Una Peda Menos” rises from No. 5 to lead the list on the list dated June 7.
“We’re truly very happy with this No. 1 hit,” Rafa González, lead vocalist, tells Billboard. “We are very proud and satisfied because we’ve been working hard, and for us this is the result of everything we do.”
“Una Peda Menos” takes over the tally with the Greatest Gainer honors — awarded weekly to the song with the largest gain in audience — with 7.1 million audience impressions logged during the May 23-29 tracking week, according to Luminate. The single enjoyed a 34% growth in impressions compared to the week prior.
The song, released Feb. 21, marks Banda Los Recoditos’ ninth No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart.
It also serves as their first hit under the newly reintroduced Fono label, previously known as Fonovisa-Disa.
