Thalia and Grupo Firme each score a career milestone on Billboard ’s Latin Airplay chart as their collaboration “Te Va a Doler” reaches No. 1 on the list dated July 6.
With the new champ, Thalia returns to No. 1 after more than a decade, while Grupo Firme visits the summit for the first time. The track is from Thalia’s A Mucha Honra album, which includes another version of the song, without Grupo Firme, remixed by Deorro.
“I’m really thrilled with all the love and support my fans and radio are giving ‘Te Va a Doler’ with Grupo Firme and the remix with Deorro,” Thalia tells Billboard . “Working alongside them was a real treat! This album is really special to me and knowing that the music is connecting with audiences means the world to me!”
“Te Va a Doler” stems from Thalia’s A Mucha Honra project, her 21st studio album released April 26 via Sony Music Entertainment.
“Te Va a Doler” rolls into the top spot with no pain on the overall Latin Airplay chart with a 10% gain in audience impressions, to 7.2 million, earned in the U.S. during the June 21-27 tracking week, according to Luminate. Last week’s No. 1, Kali Uchis and Peso Pluma’s “Igual Que Un Ángel,” falls to No. 4, after the latter’s one week reign, with an 18% dip in audience, to 6.5 million.
“Te Va a Doler” gives both acts a reason to celebrate. Thalia scores her first No. 1 in 11 years, and Grupo Firme achieves its first leader.
Thalia returns to No. 1 for the first time since “Te Perdiste Mi Amor,” featuring Prince Royce, took over Latin Airplay for one week on May 4, 2013. In between, she placed three other songs below the top 15. The Mexican adds a sixth No. 1 to her account. Plus, she expands her span of champs to 24 years, dating back to first week at the apex on June 17, 2000, when “Entre El Mar y Una Estrella” seized the crown. As Thalia’s collection of champs grows, here is a look at the singer’s Latin Airplay chart-toppers:
Peak Date, Title, Artist, Weeks at No. 1 June 17, 2000, “Entre El Mar Y Una Estrella,” one July 20, 2002, “Tu Y Yo,” one Oct. 26, 2002, “No Me Enseñaste,” two Feb. 28, 2004, “Cerca De Ti,” one May 4, 2013, “Te Perdiste Mi Amor,” featuring Prince Royce, one July 6, 2024, “Te Va A Doler,” with Grupo Firme
Further, when “Doler” debuted at No. 39 in May, Thalia made her first chart appearance since “No Me Acuerdo,” with Natti Natasha, in Sept. 2018.
Grupo Firme, meanwhile, captures its first No. 1 after missing the throne with the No. 2-peaking “El Amor De Su Vida,” with Grupo Frontera, in Oct. 2023. The Tijuana-based band becomes just the third regional Mexican ensemble to rule Latin Airplay in 2024, following Fuerza Regida with its Marshmello collab, “Harley Quinn,” and Grupo Frontera through “(Entre Parentesis),” with Shakira, both for one week in charge, on the Feb. 3- and May 18-dated charts, respectively.
“Doler” additionally reaches No. 1 on Latin Pop Airplay. Thalia secures her first ruler since the three-week champ “Entre El Mar y Una Estrella” in June 2000, and Grupo Firme claims a first No. 1 on the Latin pop radio ranking with its first entry.
