Gerardo Coronel’s ‘Tutorial Para Olvidar’ Wins No. 1 Spot on Regional Mexican Airplay
Gerardo Coronel “El Jerry” rises to No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart as his single “Tutorial Para Olvidar” crowns the list dated Aug. 24.
“Tutorial Para Olvidar” jumps 3-1 with the Greatest Gainer honors after a 39% surge in audience impressions, to 7.7 million, on U.S. monitored regional Mexican stations in the Aug. 9-15 tracking week, according to Luminate. The song ejects Los Tigres del Norte from the lead: “Aquí Mando Yo” falls to No. 4 with 5.9 million weekly impressions — that’s a 25% drop from the week prior.
“Tutorial Para Olvidar,” released April 5 on RB/Union Music, gives Coronel his third champ on Regional Mexican Airplay among eight career appearances. He previously reigned with “Que Onda Perdida” with Grupo Firme (three weeks at No. 1 in 2023) and through “Se Buscan Borrachos” (for two weeks in charge in December 2023). The latter also through RB/Union Music.
Beyond its Regional Mexican Airplay coronation, the song also pushes 9-2 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, through a 37% increase in weekly audience, to 7.7 million, for Coronel’s highest ranking to date among his eight career entries spanning almost a decade.
Swelling radio activity helps fuel “Tutorial Para Olvidar” on the multimetric Hot Latin Songs chart, which combines radio airplay, streaming data and digital sales. There, it debuts at No. 50, for Coronel’s fourth career entry.
