(LOS ANGELES, CA May 9, 2023) DEL Records’ Eslabon Armado, who are in the midst of a global hit with their single “Ella Baila Sola,” a collaboration with Peso Pluma, have made history again today when their current album DESVELADO entered the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart at Number 6, making it the highest charting debut ever for a Regional Mexican album. What’s more, Eslabon Armado broke their own record which they set with their Number 9 debut of Nostalgia a little over a year ago. Both albums were distributed by Ingrooves Music Group/Virgin Music Group.
“Eslabon Armado are truly a global force in music,” said Angel del Villar, CEO of DEL Records. “To see them constantly breaking their own records and making history in the process is hugely gratifying to everyone here at DEL Records. We feel we are just getting started with Eslabon Armado!”
The lead single from DESVELADO is the global smash hit “Ella Baila Sola,” which made history on its own by becoming the first Regional Mexican song to Hit Number 1 on Billboard’s Global 200 chart. The song is Number 4 on the Hot 100 for the second week in a row and # 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart. The track hit Number 1 on Spotify in Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua and the U.S. and was Top 5 in Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay and Venezuela. The video, set in a lavish mansion where Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma host a wild party, is currently the Number 3 video and Number 2 song on YouTube globally with more than 100 million plays.
“DEL Records has been with Ingrooves for well over a decade,” said JT Myers, Co-CEO of Virgin Music Group. “Over that time, we’ve watched Angel and his entire team build DEL Records into a global powerhouse, championing Regional Mexican music in a way that has launched the careers of superstars like Eslabon Armado and many others.
