Luis R. Conriquez has his first chart-topper…
The Mexican singer/songwriter’s collaboration with La Adictiva has reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart dated Sept. 10 as “JGL” rises to the top spot after spending four weeks in the top 10.
“JGL” rises 6-1 boosted by a 50% increase in audience impressions, to 6.6 million, earned in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 4, according to Luminate.
The song was released February 18 via Anval.
In addition to earning each of its credited acts a new No. 1, the new champ also gifts the label its ninth chart topper and first after it took over atop Regional Mexican Airplay for four weeks in December 2021, also through a La Adictiva track: “Ya Solo Eres Mi Ex.”
With the move, La Adictiva claims its 11th champ dating back to its first and longest leading title “Te Amo y Te Amo” in 2011 (nine weeks at No. 1).
Conriquez, meanwhile, achieves his first No. 1 in his sixth appearance and after two earlier top 10s. His maiden entry, “El Buho,” peaked at No. 6 in September 2021, while his collaborative turn on Giovanny Ayala’s “Quien Se Apunta,” reached No. 7 on the Aug. 13-dated tally.
