Billboard Women in Music 2025
Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera achieve their second collaborative No. 1 as “Me Jalo” tops both Billboard’s Latin Airplay and Regional Mexican Airplay charts (dated April 5). The groups previously scored a No. 1 together when they teamed-up with “Bebe Dame” (one week on top of both lists in March 2023).
“Me Jalo” flies 9-1 on the overall Latin Airplay chart after a 62% improvement in audience impressions, to 10 million, earned in the U.S. during the 21-27 tracking week, according to Luminate. Thanks to the swell, the song leads with the Greatest Gainer honors, awarded weekly to the track with the biggest airplay gain.
“Creating this song was an incredible experience,” Alberto ‘Beto,’ Frontera’s guitarist tells Billboard. “Being in the studio with our friends from Fuerza Regida is the best—they’re part of our family! Now, to see us at No. 1 on the charts with them is such an honor. We keep hitting milestones and raising the flag of Mexico high.”
“Me Jalo” is one of five songs from Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera’s collaborative EP, Mala Mía, which added to the acts’ career top 10s on Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts, where it debuted and peaked at Nos. 10 and No. 6, respectively.
“Me Jalo” marks the fourth time both Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera have claimed the top spot on the overall Latin Airplay chart. Remarkably, the two groups have achieved an identical number of chart-topping hits since their debut in 2023: two No. 1 singles in 2023, one in 2024, and now their first in 2025. While Fuerza Regida’s No. 1 hits each held the top spot for a single week, Grupo Frontera enjoyed a longer reign with “Un X100to,” with Bad Bunny, which commanded the chart for six weeks in 2023.
“When we make music, we always aim to spread joy and fun,” Payo, vocalist of Grupo Frontera, adds. “Our mission is to create pure vibes, and for those who listen to find something positive that helps brighten their day. Seeing people enjoy and make videos is our biggest achievement. Every time that happens, good news rolls in, and we feel even happier…”
In addition to its strong performance on radio, “Me Jalo” has seen significant traction on TikTok. The song has inspired over 756,000 user-generated videos, with fans dancing as if being pulled by an invisible rope—a playful nod to the word “jalo,” derived from the verb “jalar,” which means “to pull” in Spanish.
The song holds at its No. 3 high on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart for a third week, after generating 8.5 million official U.S. streams, up 3%, in the tracking week.
“We want everyone to have as much fun with our music as we do creating it,” Juan Cantú, accordionist of Grupo Frontera, adds. “When the trend started going viral on TikTok and celebrities joined in, we got super excited! That’s why we make music.”
Elsewhere, both Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera each add a new No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay where “Me Jalo” jumps 5-1 with 48% gain audience impressions, to 8 million.
