For the first time in the nearly 70-year history of Billboard’s albums chart, a pair of Spanish-language albums — Bad Bunny‘s ode to Puerto Rico, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” and Mexican-American band Fuerza Regida‘s “111xpantia” — lead the charge.
“Debí Tirar Más Fotos” is the No. 1 album in the United States, climbing up from its previous No. 7 position following its first release on vinyl. It’s the fourth total week at No. 1 for the album, which spent three consecutive weeks at the peak starting Jan. 25. The 17-song set returns with a total of 84,500 equivalent album units, with more than half of that total deriving from vinyl purchases, according to Luminate.
Making Latin music history, and achieving the highest-charting set of its career, Fuerza Regida debuts at No. 2 with “111xpantia.” The album was originally released with 12 songs and was expanded to 15 with a deluxe edition that was released three days after its May 2 debut. It earned a total of 76,000 units with 39,000 album sales and 50 million streams. With 39,000 copies sold, “111” surpasses the previous largest sales week for a regional Mexican album, when Selena’s “Amor Prohibido” sold 36,000 copies in 1995.
It’s also the highest-charting Spanish-language album by a duo or group, and the highest-charting regional Mexican music album ( Peso Pluma’s “Génesis” held the title since 2023), as reported by Billboard.
Prior to “111,” the band — led by Jesús Ortiz Paz (JOP) with José “Pelón” García, Moisés López, Khrystian Ramos and Samuel Jáimez — scored its biggest debut on the Billboard 200 in 2023 with the release of “Pa Las Baby’s y Belikeada.”
The second debut in the Top 10 of the list this week comes from rapper Key Glock and “Glockaveli,” which debuts at No. 8 with 34,000 units. The 18-song set was also expanded with a deluxe edition featuring an additional three tracks.
As for the remaining top titles: SZA’s “SOS” moves to No. 3 from No. 2; Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” is at No. 4; Kendrick Lamar’s “GNX” is at No. 5; Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet” is at No. 6; PartyNextDoor and Drake’s “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U” is at No. 7; and Wallen logs his second simultaneous Top 10 album with “Dangerous: The Double Album” at No. 9. Meanwhile, Shaboozey’s “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going” rounds out the pinnacle at No. 10.
