Calle 24 is celebrating a perfect night…
The 23-year-old Mexican artist, whose real name is Diego Millán, has earned his first Billboard No. 1 with the Fuerza Regida-collaboration “Noche Perfecta,” as the song climbs 4-1 on the overall Latin Airplay chart dated August 8.
The song, from Calle 24’s album Eterno, gives Fuerza Regida its fifth champ.
The track also leads Regional Mexican Airplay chart, rising 2-1.
“Damn… imagine, I’m going crazy!” Millán, known by his stage name Calle 24, shared with Billboard from his dressing room before taking the stage in Riverside, California. “I have a show that, God willing, will be sold out, and then I get the news that I’ve hit Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart at No. 1! It’s one thing for someone to tell you, ‘You made it onto the chart,’ and you’re at No. 50, 10 or 5… but No. 1? No way!”
“Noche Perfecta” is the fifth Billboard-charting partnership between the label mates but first to earn a joint No. 1.
Released April 9 on Street Mob Records as part of Calle 24’s album, Eterno, the song gave Millán his first radio-chart entry when it debuted on both the Regional Mexican Airplay and Latin Airplay charts in May and June, respectively.
It rises to the summit on both rankings after a 12% growth in audience impressions, to 6.9 million, earned during the tracking week ending July 30, according to Luminate.
“The magic of the old-school regional Mexican sound, you know?” Millán adds about his latest collaboration with Fuerza Regida. “That’s it my people—the signature of classic regional Mexican music, that accordion sound. That music will never disappear, even as new genres emerge. I feel that’s what connected with people, along with talking about love. Love is everything in life.”
Previous collaborations with Fuerza Regida performed better on streaming-based charts. Dating to Calle 24’s first Billboard-chart appearance in 2021, the 23-year-old has placed five other pairings on the hybrid Hot Latin Songs chart, which mixes streams, digital sales and radio airplay into its formula. Among them, “Que Onda,” which also features Chino Pacas, earned Millán his first top 10 on the list, reaching No. 5 in late 2023.
While Regida achieves its fifth No. 1 on Latin Airplay, the group adds a 20th top 10 on Hot Latin Songs, where “Noche Perfecta” jumps 11-10, thanks to its radio haul and streaming activity during the tracking week. The move places Regida into a tie with Intocable and Los Tigres del Norte for the most top 10s among Regional Mexican groups since the chart began 1986.
Elsewhere, “Noche Perfecta” takes Calle 24 to a new peak on the Hot Regional Mexican Songs chart, to No. 4 —his second top 10. Regida collects its 14th top 10—the most since the ranking launched in April 2025.
“I’m very excited,” Millán continues. “Thank you so much to everyone at Billboard and to everyone who supports me and Calle 24’s music. You’re all part of a new chapter—literally, it feels like I’m starting all over again. I’m grateful from the bottom of my heart. I have no words.
