Billboard Notes: 2023-03-30
The second highest song debuting this week (at #26) is "Ella Balla Sola" by Eslabon Armado X Peso Pluma.
Most of the songs in Spanish on the charts in recent years have been reggaeton (such as "Despacito,") so it surprises me when another genre emerges as a trend. This song sounds to me like traditional Mexican music, i.e., "Regional Mexican" music. I've been hearing other traditional Mexican music bubble in the bottom of the charts over the past year but this is the first time a song from this genre debuted into the top 40.
Another Regional Mexican hit "Bebe Dame" (by Fuerza Regida X Grupo Frontera) is in its 12th week on the charts, reaching as high as #25. This definitely feels like a new trend!
