The wait is over for Yuridia, who achieves her first No. 1 on any Billboard U.S. radio chart during an almost two-decade career span. She achieves the feat with “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto” alongside Eden Muñoz, as the song jumps 5-1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart (dated Oct. 12).
The single, the only song that previewed Yuridia’s EP Literal, released June 27 via Sony Music Entertainment Mexico, takes the throne in its eighth week after a 46% surge in audience impressions to 6.7 million in the tracking week of Sept. 27-Oct. 3, according to Luminate.
Thanks to the rise, “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto” wins the weekly Greatest Gainer award among the 40 songs on Regional Mexican Airplay. It also evicts Banda MS’ “Tengo Claro,” featuring Alfredo Olivas, after the latter’s one week in charge.
“Mi Eterno Amor Secreto” becomes Yuridia’s first ruler during a Billboard chart career that dates to 2005, when the Mexican singer-songwriter reached a No. 16 high on Top Latin Albums through her debut album La Voz de Un Ángel (March 2006). The set also took her to her first top 10 on any chart, peaking at No. 6 on Latin Pop Albums.
The song’s coronation on Regional Mexican Airplay arrives after Yuridia came close to the summit with the No. 3-peaking “Que Agonía,” with Angela Aguilar, in March 2023.
Muñoz secures his fifth champ, previously topping the list with the one-week ruler “Como En Los Viejos Tiempos” in January.
The pair previously collaborated on “Me Hace Tanto Bien,” one of 14 tracks on Yuridia’s album Pa’ Luego Es Tarde, her first foray with a regional Mexican Album, which reached a No. 7 high on Regional Mexican Albums in 2022; the song did not land on a radio ranking.
“Mi Eterno Amor Secreto” also flies 13-2 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, for both artists’ highest charting entry to date. While “Que Agonía” took Yuridia to a No. 3 high in March 2023, Muñoz locked a No. 4 high with “Como En Los Viejos Tiempos” in January.
The latest on Yuridia and Muñoz becomes the fourth female-male soloist team-up to land in the top three on Latin Airplay in 2024. Peso Pluma did it twice through collabs with Karol G and Kali Uchis. Here are those combined gender hits on the overall radio tally thus far:
Artists, Title, Peak Position, Peak Date
Karol G & Peso Pluma, “Qlona,” No. 1, March 2
Kali Uchis & Peso Pluma, “Igual Que Un Ángel,” No. 1, June 29
Alejandro Fernández & Anitta, “La Tóxica,” No. 2, Sept. 21
Yuridia & Eden Muñoz, “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto,” No. 3, Oct. 12
