El Fantasma’s ‘El Soldado Caído’ Hits No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay Chart

El Fantasma captures his fourth No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart as “El Soldado Caído” takes over atop the Oct. 1-dated list.

“El Soldado” jumps 3-1 and sends Los Rieleros del Norte’s “Cuéntame” to No. 2 after one week atop the list. The former earns the Greatest Gainer honors of the week thanks to its 32% increase in audience impressions, to 6.5 million, in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 25, according to Luminate.
