Grupo Frontera Extends 2023 No. 1 Record on Regional Mexican Airplay With Junior H Collab

Grupo Frontera and Junior H conquer regional Mexican radio stations across the U.S. with their first joint single “En Altavoz,” as the song rises 2-1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart (dated Dec. 23).

“En Altavoz,” released via Grupo Frontera on Sept. 4, tops the tally with 7.3 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. in the tracking week ending Dec. 14, according to Luminate; that’s a 12% increase from the prior week.

The new coronation yields a record-extending sixth No. 1 for Grupo Frontera in 2023, the most for any regional Mexican act during the year, and further opens a gap between the next contender, Carin León with three champs. Junior H also adds a new No. 1 to his 2023 chart career, following the triparted partnership “Bipolar,” with Peso Pluma and Jasiel Nuñez (Nov. 25).

As “Altavoz” adds a new ruler to Grupo Frontera’s Regional Mexican Airplay career, let’s review the group’s collection of hits so far:

Peak, Title, Artist, Weeks at No. 1

Jan 28, “Que Vuelvas,” with Carin Leon, six

March 18, “Bebe Dame,” with Fuerza Regida, three

April 29, “Di Que Si,” with Grupo Marca Registrada, three

Aug. 12, “Frágil,” with Yahritza Y Su Esencia, one

Oct. 7, “El Amor De Su Vida,” with Grupo Firme, four

Dec. 23, “En Altavoz,” with Junior H

With “Altavoz” as the new leader, Maluma and Carin León’s “Según Quien” falls to No. 4 after the latter’s one week in charge.

Beyond its Regional Mexican Airplay reign, the Tejano “Altavoz” enters the top 5 on the overall Latin Airplay tally for a new No. 5 peak.
