Latin Music History: Spanish-Language Albums Are Nos. 1 & 2 for the First Time on Billboard 200 Chart


Spanish-language albums are Nos. 1 and 2 on the Billboard 200 for the first time in the chart's history. Here's a list of major milestones achieved.

Bad Bunny ’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos returns to the top, jumping 7-1 on the May 17-dated chart after its vinyl release, while Fuerza Regida achieves its highest-charting album ever, as the band’s new 111XPANTIA debuts at No. The previous high, in that span of time, for a Spanish language album by a duo or group was Santana’s Africa Speaks with 57,000 in its opening week, in 2019. It surpasses the previous largest week for a regional Mexican title, when Selena’s Amor Prohibido sold 36,000 copies on the chart dated May 6, 1995, in the wake of her death in March of that year.
