Another first this year – the song “Ella Baila Sola” by Eslabon Armado and Peso Plumabecame the first regional Mexican song to ever reach the top 10 of the U.S. Billboard charts after going viral on TikTok. 

And what’s old is new again. Tracy Chapman’s 1988 hit “Fast Car” had a resurgence after a cover by country singer Luke Combs went platinum in July.
