Peso Pluma, born Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija, has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the Latin music scene, amassing an impressive 22 entries on the Hot 100 chart. Notably, in June, he achieved a historic feat by becoming the first artist ever to lead both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts simultaneously with different songs: "Ella Baila Sola" and "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 55."
Adding to his list of accomplishments, Peso's album Génesis debuted at an exceptional No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking the highest position ever attained by a música Mexicana album on this influential chart. The Mexican artist continued his winning streak at the October Billboard Latin Music Awards, clinching eight awards, including the coveted Artist of the Year, New title.
In a memorable moment following his electrifying performance, Peso Pluma received the top Latin song award for "Ella Baila Sola." Tyson, presenting the accolade, lauded Peso as the "people's champion." The track itself etched its place in history earlier this year as the first regional Mexican song to secure a spot in the top five on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart. Peso Pluma, in his acceptance speech, marked the occasion with gratitude, capping off a night that reaffirmed his status as a rising star in the Latin music realm.
