Shaking up the Billboard Latin charts, two artists storm into the top 10 on multiple charts with their new albums on the Aug. 16-dated charts. Genre-bending pop singer-songwriter Danny Ocean and breakout Mexican artist Chino Pacas claim their third and second top 10s on the Top Latin Pop Albums and Top Regional Mexican Albums charts, respectively. Meanwhile, early Latin trap wave-rider Bryant Myers, scores a No. 15 entrance on Latin Rhythm Albums.
Danny Ocean’s Third Chapter: Venezuelan Ocean earns his third straight top 10 on the Top Latin Pop Albums chart, as his fifth studio album, Babylon Club, debuts at No. 2. During the Aug. 1-7 tracking week, the 14-track set generated 4,000 equivalent units in the United States, according to Luminate. The set joins debut album 54+1, which holds strong at No. 15 –in its 144th week– with 2,000 units.
Streaming is the dominant factor for Babylon Club’s first-week sum, which translates to 5.4 million official on-demand streams for the songs on the album.
Babylon Club builds on the momentum of three charting songs: “Imagínate,” with Kapo, earned Ocean his first No. 1 hit on the overall Latin Airplay chart (April) among five entries. “Vitamina” reached a No. 20 high on the Hot Latin Pop Songs, and “Priti,” with Sech, peaks at No. 20 on Latin Rhythm Airplay this week. As a recruit, “Corazón” bows on Hot Latin Pop Songs at No. 25.
The 14-track set also arrives at No. 34 on the Top Latin Albums chart
Back-To Back Top 10s for Chino Pacas: Nine months after rising star Pacas entered a Billboard albums ecosystem with the No. 6-peaking Que Sigan Llegando Las Pacas, the 18-year-old returns with his second top 10 on the Regional Mexican Albums chart, as his sophomore project, Cristian, launches at No. 10.
The set, released Aug. 1 on Street Mob, starts with 6,000 equivalent album units. Of Cristian’s starting sum, streaming activity contributes 5,000 units, equating 6.6 million official on-demand audio and video streams of its songs. Plus, album sales deliver the bulk of the remaining units. Cristian also bows at No. 19 on Top Latin Albums.
Along with Cristian, “Flota,” with Netón Vega, opens at No. 21 on Hot Regional Mexican Songs.
Myers’ Comeback: Puerto Rican rapper and singer Myers climbs back onto the Billboard albums charts with his fourth studio project, Millo Gangster Club which debuts at No. 13 on the Latin Rhythm Albums list. The set earns Myers his first chart entry in nearly five years, and the fourth of his career.
Myers’ first Rimas-released set arrives with 4,000 equivalent album units mainly from streaming activity, equating to 6.3 million official on-demand audio and video streams of its songs.
Millo Gangster Club also launches at No. 30 on Top Latin Albums.
