Xavi has earned a sixth No. 1 on the Billboard Latin charts…
The 21-year-old Mexican American singer/songwriter’s “La Morrita” has claimed the top spot on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart, as the song with Carín León climbs 6-1 in its sixth week on the chart.
Xavi recently gave a solo performance of the track at Premios Lo Nuestro on February 19 in Miami.
Boosted by a 6.9 million increase in audience impressions (a 23% gain in the U.S. during the tracking week), “La Morrita” secures Xavi’s sixth career No. 1.
The feat comes just three weeks after he hit the top spot with “No Capea,” with Grupo Frontera, which ruled Regional Mexican Airplay for one week in November.
For Carín León, this marks his 12th No. 1 on the tally, dating to “El Tóxico,” his 2021 collaboration with Grupo Firme.
Beyond its dominance on Regional Mexican Airplay, “La Morrita” gains momentum on Latin radio overall.
The single jumps 11-3 on the Latin Airplay, Xavi’s second top 10 on the chart this year.
His previous entry, “No Capea,” reached No. 1 on the February 7-dated ranking.
The 34-year-old Mexican singer, songwriter and producer of Regional Mexican music has notched his fifth consecutive No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart, and ninth overall, as “Lejos Estamos Mejor” rises 2-1 on the ranking dated August 30.
It marks Muñoz’s third straight No. 1 in 2025.
“A No. 1 on Billboard, along with this great song, is definitely a big career achievement,” Muñoz tells Billboard. “I’m happy because we can say that ‘Lejos Estamos Mejor’ has come to stay in the hearts of our people. Grateful to God, the team, and all those who connected with the song.”
“Lejos Estamos Mejor” is the title track and second song from Muñoz’s Lejos Estamos Mejor EP(released via Sony Music Latin), after “Mi Primer Día Sin Ti” crowned Regional Mexican Airplay for one week in May.
“Lejos Estamos Mejor” rises to No. 1 with 8.1 million audience impressions earned in the United States in the tracking week of August 15-21, according to Luminate.
For its coronation, the song surged 17% in impressions compared the prior week.
With his new success, Muñoz secures a place among the most successful soloists of the 2020s, matching El Fantasma with nine crowns each. Here is that list of standout solo singers with the most No. 1s on Regional Mexican Airplay this decade:
14, Alejandro Fernández
10, Christian Nodal
9, Carin León
9, Eden Munoz
9, El Fantasma
Elsewhere, Muñoz inches closer to the summit of the overall Latin Airplay chart, as the song rockets 7-2.
Along with his 2024 duet with Yuridia, “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto,” this marks his highest position to date.
La Adictiva is taking care of chart-topping business…
The Regional Mexican band forges ahead on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart with “Cuídala,” as the song soars 7-1 on the list dated July 26. It’s the group’s first champ since 2024 and its 14th overall.
“Cuídala” lands at the summit after a 64% gain in audience impressions, equating to 7.3 million, earned in the United States during the July 11-17 tracking week, according to Luminate.
Four Univision stations emerged as the song’s strongest supporters during the tracking week. Leading the pack is KSCA-FM in Los Angeles, followed by WOJO-FM in Chicago, KLNO-FM in Dallas, and KSOL-FM in San Francisco rounding out the group.
With “Cuídala,” La Adictiva achieves its 14th No. 1 hit on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart, and its first chart-topper unaccompanied by a collaborator in over three years.
The group’s previous solo No. 1, “Ya Solo Eres Mi Ex,” reigned for four weeks in December 2021 through January 2022.
The group last hit No. 1 through “Bandida,” a three-way collab by La Adictiva with Grupo Marca Registrada and Montana in June 2024.
“Cuídala” is the opening track from La Adictiva’s 35th anniversary album, Antes y Ahora 35 Aniversario, released March 19 on Anval Music.
Thanks to the new achievement, indie label Anval picks up its 12th No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay. It last achieved a ruler through “Bandida.”
Beyond its Regional Mexican Airplay coronation, “Cuídala” earns La Adictiva a 16th top 10 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, where the song flies 22-3, marking the second-biggest jump to the top 10 in 2025.
The 54-year-old Mexican singer and two-time Latin Grammy winner claims his 13th No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart, as “Un Millón de Primaveras(Plaza de Toros La México),” rises 2-1 on the list dated July 5.
The live recording is a cover of his late father Vicente Fernández’s 2007 song of the same name.
“It’s an immense honor and a privilege to bring you my father’s music and feel that his legacy lives on in all of us,” Fernández tells Billboard. “That was the reason for [the Vicente tribute] De Rey a Rey. The fact that fans have received it with such affection and seeing them singing these songs at the top of their lungs in their homes, in their cars, and at my concerts is something very special… especially right now.”
“Un Millón de Primaveras (Plaza de Toros La México)” leads with 6.7 million audience impressions earned in the United States during the June 20-26 tracking week, according to Luminate; that’s a 16% growth from the week prior.
“Un Millón de Primaveras” is a live take by Fernández of his father, Vicente Fernández’s fourth single from the late singer-songwriter’s 79th studio album, Para Siempre. It became his longest-leading No. 1 album, dominating the Regional Mexican Albums chart for 18 weeks between 2007-09.
With 13 career No. 1s on Regional Mexican Airplay, Fernández ties Gerardo Ortiz for the second-most champs among solo performers.
They both trail Christian Nodal, who continues to dominate with 17 No. 1s. (Overall, Calibre 50 leads with 27 champs).
“I deeply thank the public and the radio promoters for taking this song to No. 1,” Fernández adds. “Thank you very much.”

Grupo Frontera has joined special (online) company…
The Mexican American Regional Mexican band and Grupo Firme have each achieved their first-ever entry on YouTube’s coveted Billion Views Club with their collaboration “El Amor de su Vida.
The music video, which premiered on August 3, 2023, surpassed the one billion views on Tuesday, June 17. Both Música Mexicana groups shared the news on their social media platforms.
“El Amor de Su Vida” finds Frontera’s frontman Adelaido “Payo” Solís and Firme’s own Eduin Caz weeping over the ex of their lives, who has moved on to a new relationship. “Today I saw the love of my life/ as happy as ever kissing the love of her life/ she looked at him the same way she looked at me before/ I realized I’ve lost this war,” says the sappy chorus.
In the music video, the two power groups are seen performing in front of a house as they passionately interpret the track.
“El Amor de su Vida” peaked at No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart, where it topped for four weeks in 2023, and a No.67-high on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song is part of Frontera’s debut album El Comienzo, which scored the Texas-based group its first top 10 entry on any chart, reaching No. 4 on Top Latin Albums, No. 2 on Regional Mexican Albums and No. 39 on the all-genre Billboard 200.
Frontera’s next video to reach one billion views is “UN X100TO” with Bad Bunny, which has over 970 million views.
