Guadalajara, Mexico-born singer-songwriter Jasiel Nuñez scores his first entry on a Billboard albums chart with La Odisea, his second studio effort, which launches at Nos. 8 and 6 on the Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts, respectively (dated Nov. 30).
La Odisea, a double album comprising 20 tracks, was released Nov. 7 on Double P Records, home to Tito Double P, who also placed a top 10 debut on both charts in 2024. The set starts with 9,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week of Nov. 8-15, according to Luminate.
Streaming activity contributes to the majority of La Odisea’s first week-sum, which equates to 12.7 million official on-demand streams of the album’s songs, while the remaining units stem from a negligible amount of activity from sales and track-equivalent album units. On Top Latin Albums, one unit equals to one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.
In addition to label mate Tito Double P, Nuñez follows the footsteps of the eight other regional Mexican soloists who achieved a top 10 debut album this year. In total, 19 albums across Latin genres launched in the top 10 on Top Latin Albums in 2024, 12 of which (by groups and solo singers) belong to the regional Mexican genre.
Here is that striking list of regional Mexican top 10 debuts on Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts in 2024:
Debut Date, Debut Pos., Title, Artist
Jan. 6, No. 9, Distorsión, Oscar Maydon
Jan. 20, No. 5, Corridos Bélicos, Vol. IV, Luis R Conriquez

With La Odisea, Jasiel Nuñez scores his first entry on his first try on any albums chart, after placing six songs on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, five through Peso Pluma partnerships.
In addition to two Peso Pluma collabs, “Bipolar,” which also features Junior H, and “Me Activo,” 24-year-old Nuñez places a third song from La Odisea on the tally–which combines radio airplay, streaming activity and digital sales into its formul–, there, “En Mi Mundo,” also with Pluma, debuts at No. 31.
Nuñez also steps onto the all-genre Billboard 200, where La Odisea starts at No. 167.
