Eden Muñoz acquires his fourth No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart as “Como En Los Viejos Tiempos” rallies 8-1 to lead the Jan. 27-dated ranking. The nostalgic ballad checks into the penthouse after a bulky 64% boost in audience impressions, to 7.4 million, earned in the U.S. during the Jan. 12-18 tracking week, according to Luminate.
“Como En Los Viejos Tiempos” ejects La Fiera de Ojinaga’s “La Neta Que No” from the lead after its one week in command. The song drops to No. 10 with a 42% drop (to 4.22 million impressions).
“Tiempos” is the title track and first single of the Muñoz’s 18-track eponymous album, which debuted and reached No. 19 on Regional Mexican Albums last December.
The song, released Nov. 20 via Muñoz’s own EMC/Bajo label and Sony Music Latin, takes the indie imprint to its first No. 1 on any Billboard chart.
Further, as the norteño and banda singer-songwriter and producer sends “Viejos Tiempos” to his roster of No. 1s, here’s a look at Muñoz’s four No. 1s on Regional Mexican Airplay :
