Alejandro Fernández claims his 13th No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart, as “Un Millón de Primaveras (Plaza de Toros La México),” lifts 2-1 on the list dated July 5. The live recording is a cover of his late father Vicente Fernández’s 2007 song of the same name.
“It’s an immense honor and a privilege to bring you my father’s music and feel that his legacy lives on in all of us,” Fernández tells Billboard. “That was the reason for [the Vicente tribute] De Rey a Rey. The fact that fans have received it with such affection and seeing them singing these songs at the top of their lungs in their homes, in their cars, and at my concerts is something very special… especially right now.”
“Un Millón de Primaveras (Plaza de Toros La México)” leads with 6.7 million audience impressions earned in the United States during the June 20-26 tracking week, according to Luminate; that’s a 16% growth from the week prior.
“Un Millón de Primaveras” is a live take by Fernández of his father, Vicente Fernández’s fourth single from the late singer-songwriter’s 79th studio album, Para Siempre. It became his longest-leading No. 1 album, dominating the Regional Mexican Albums chart for 18 weeks between 2007-09.
With 13 career No. 1s on Regional Mexican Airplay, Fernández ties Gerardo Ortiz for the second-most champs among solo performers. They both trail Christian Nodal, who continues to dominate with 17 No. 1s. (Overall, Calibre 50 leads with 27 champs).
“I deeply thank the public and the radio promoters for taking this song to No. 1,” Fernández adds. “Thank you very much.”
