Just a month after Eden Muñoz ruled Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart with “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto,” the singer, songwriter and producer is back at the summit with “Traigo Saldo y Ganas de Rogar,” as the single jumps 3-1 to lead the Nov. 16-dated ranking. It’s the second song to enter the tally from his second-studio album, Eden.
“Extremely happy to land, once again, atop the chart with a song as important as ‘Traigo Saldo,’” Muñoz tells Billboard. “Not only for representing my roots; I’m talking about banda music. Congratulations to the entire team and of course, grateful for all who continue to trust my music.”
“Traigo Saldo y Ganas de Rogar” takes the lead on Regional Mexican Airplay with a 38% increase in audience impressions, to 8.1 million, earned on U.S. monitored stations during the Nov. 1-7 tracking week, according to Luminate. With the gain, Muñoz sends Joss Favela and Luis R. Conriquez’s “Con Todo Respetillo” to No. 2, after the latter’s one week in charge.
Thanks to “Traigo Saldo y Ganas de Rogar,” Muñoz picks up his sixth No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay since “ Chale!” his longest-leading song, ruled for three weeks in 2022. Plus, Muñoz secures his third champ of the year, along with Alejandro Fernández, the most for any solo singer in 2024.
Here’s a recap of Muñoz’s collection of No. 1 hits, dating to his first as a soloist, in 2022:
Peak, Title, Artist, Weeks at No. 1
May 21, 2022, “Chale!” three
July 2, 2022, “Hay Que Hacer Dinero,” with Banda Ms, two
Nov. 11, 2023, “Amor Clandestino,” with Mana, one
Jan. 27, “Como En Los Viejos Tiempos,” one
Oct. 12, “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto,” with Yuridia, one
Nov. 16, “Traigo Saldo Y Ganas De Rogar”
Elsewhere, “Traigo Saldo” impresses one other main Billboard chart: it moves 9-3 on the overall Latin Airplay ranking, with 8.2 million audience impressions.
The song, released Aug. 19 on EMC/Sony Music Latin, was composed by Muñoz and Michelle Maciel.
