Thalia’s 14th studio album, Valiente, released via Sony Music Latin on November 9, starts with a little over 2,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending November 15. Of that sum, 2,000 were in traditional album sales, while the remaining can be attributed to streaming equivalent album units and track equivalent album units.

Valiente is Thalia’s seventh chart leader and her first in more than two years. She’s now tied with Shakira for the most No. 1s on the Latin Pop Albums chart among women.

Thalia last reigned atop the tally with Latina (May 28, 2016), which led for two consecutive weeks.

The set has yielded one charting title on the Hot Latin Songs tally, which blends airplay, digital sales, and streaming activity: “No Me Acuerdo” with Natti Natasha ranked in the top 20 for ten weeks (No. 14 peak, September 22).

Concurrently, Valiente debuts at No. 7 on the Top Latin Albums and No. 1 on the Latin Album Sales charts.

Thalia Releasing New Single “No Me Acuerdo,” Featuring Natti Natasha

Thalía is returning to the scene with new music…

Two years after releasing her album Latina, the 46-year-old Mexican singer/actress is getting ready to release her latest track called, “No Me Acuerdo,” featuring Natti Natasha.

Thalia

The forthcoming single and music video, slated to premiere on Friday, fuses the best of both worlds: Thalía’s distinctive pop sound with Natti’s catchy reggaeton vibe.

“No Me Acuerdo” tells the story of a woman who goes out partying and, the next morning, can’t remember what she did the night before. Her boyfriend accuses her of fooling around, but she says, “I can’t remember, so it didn’t happen.”

Thalia & Natti Natasha

“The song is very relatable,” says Thalia. “There’s no one, I believe, who hasn’t had a blackout. We’ve all been through it.”

The lyrics, she says, carry an empowering message for women. “This song is a form of embracing yourself, respecting yourself, and not letting anyone make you feel bad for what you did or didn’t do.”

“The moment I heard the song I couldn’t believe it,” she continued. “I went inside my home studio and recorded it. The more I heard it when it was finished, the more I was convinced that I had to record it with a strong woman who says things as they are, and the only person who came to mind was Natti.”
