Bad Bunny makes a big entrance in Lista Los40 USA with his first English-titled song and music video, the Jersey club cut ‘Where She Goes’ after going public with Kendall Jenner. 

Here, the Puerto Rican turns into a frontiersman, rocking a cool cowboy vibe in the Stillz-directed music video and riding around through the California desert in a vintage Rolls-Royce. Somehow Jenner seems to be present when an angel appears in the middle of the desert, dressed in lingerie and huge shiny wings, a reference her role as a Victoria’s Secret Angel.

With his latest release, the Puerto Rican soars leaps directly to the #3 position in Lista Los40 USA but he even got the no. 2 with his chart-topping collab ‘1x100to’ featuring Grupo Frontera. 

Benito isn’t the only top artist adding a new hit this week. Yng Lucas & Justin Quiles’ ‘Wazap’ debuts in the chart reaching the #32 spot. Here, both artists flow to the style of Mexican reggaeton that Yng Lucas has recently positioned at the top of the charts with ‘La Bebé – Remix’.

Peso Pluma & Eslabón Armado’s ‘Ella Baila Sola’ Holds the Top Spot 

The viral regional Mexican anthem ‘Ella Baila Sola’ keeps sweeping the Lista Los40 USA for several weeks in a row. The romantic sierreño track transports us to a party where two compas spot a beautiful girl in the ball. The Doble P and Pedro Tovar trade verses about conquering her. «No soy un vato que tiene varo Pero hablando del corazón te cumplo todo / Me agarro, pegadito dе su mano / Mi compa ni se la creyó, que al pasar fui yo«, they sang over a lovely melody created by a lead guitar, a trombone, chachetas (a tenor horn) and a tololoche (a double bass).

Peso Pluma has become one of the great music phenomenons of 2023. He has recently joined the Argentine top producer Bizarrap in the BZRP Music Session #55, the first one to be featured by a regional Mexican artist. The Doble P is now a central referent of the rising subgenre ‘corridos tumbados’, a variant of traditional Mexican corridos that was firstly popularized by Natanael Cano. They and other artists like Junior H and Fuerza Regida are taking Mexican music to another level in the U.S., but also all over the world.

What new hits will top the Lista Los40 USA next week? Will we see more rising referentes of Mexican music climb our chart? Stay tuned!
