Beéle Arrives on Billboard's Albums Charts With Debut Set ‘BORONDO'
After collecting multiple hits across Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart and Latin Airplay charts, Beéle makes his first appearance on the albums rankings with BORONDO. The Colombian singer-songwriter's debut set launches on the Top Latin Albums (at No. 10) and Top Latin Rhythm Albums (at No. 4) lists, dated May 31. BORONDO, a 26-track album, was released May 15 on Hear This Music/5020 Records. The set starts at No. 10 on Top Latin Albums with 11,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the tracking week ending May 22, according to Luminate. More from Billboard Zak Starkey Rubbishes Reports He Retired from The Who, Insists He Was 'Fired' Lorde Makes Surprise Appearance at Aotearoa Music Awards Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Perform 1996 Hit 'Tha Crossroads' on 'Everybody's Live' During the tracking week of May 16-22, BORONDO's debut was driven primarily by streaming activity, with the album's songs generating 17 million official on-demand streams. Meanwhile, the remainder of the total-week sum came from a minimal contribution of album sales and track-equivalent units. (Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.) Further, BORONDO's entrance marks a breakthrough for Puerto Rican indie label Hear This Music—founded by DJ Luian and Mambo Kingz— achieving its first performance and top 10 on any Billboard albums tally since its formation in 2015 (the imprint has earned 20 entries on the Hot Latin Songs chart, including three top 10s). The set was previewed by one charting song: 'Mi Refe,' with Ovy on The Drums, peaked at No. 8 on Latin Rhythm Airplay in April. Prince Royce, Mora & Sebastian Yatra Achieve Top 10 Success: Elsewhere on the Latin albums charts, three other Latin artists leave a mark this week, starting with Prince Royce, whose album Eterno debuts at No. 3 on the Top Tropical Albums chart, his eighth straight top 10 since the 54-week ruler album Prince Royce in 2010. Eterno, a collection of 20th century English hits turned-bilingual bachatas, becomes the Hot Shot debut of the week on Top Tropical Albums with 3,000 equivalent album units earned during the tracking week ending May 22. The album's songs generated 1.9 million official on-demand streams in its first week. 'How Deep Is Your Love' is the only song that previewed the album; it hits new peaks on the overall Latin Airplay (No. 5) and Tropical Airplay (No. 4) charts after a 35% boost in audience impressions, to 7 million. Puerto Rican Mora secures his fifth top 10 on the Top Latin Rhythm Albums chart with Lo Mismo De Siempre, as the album bows at No. 9 with 7,000 equivalent album units, also largely from streaming activity (9.8 million official on-demand streams in its opening week). The Rimas-released set, dropped on an off-cycle Sunday, May 18, thus, debuts on the chart with only five days of activity (the chart's tracking week runs Friday through Thursday). Lastly, Sebastian Yatra's Milagro starts at No. 9 on Top Latin Pop Albums with 2,000 equivalent album units. The 17-track album, released May 18 on Universal Music Latino/UMLE, generated 2.3 million official streams during the same period. It becomes Yatra's fourth top 10 on the tally. All charts (dated May 31, 2025) will update on tomorrow, May 28 (a day later than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday May 26).

My Mexican heritage has influenced my entire life, says Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez believes "representation matters". The 32-year-old actress feels proud of her Mexican heritage, and she cherishes the "bond" she has with other Latin women in the entertainment industry. The brunette beauty told Billboard: "My Mexican heritage is something that has influenced me my entire life and it's not lost on me how representation matters. "Throughout the years I've been doing this, some of the most supportive women in the entertainment business I have met have been other Latin women. I love the bond we all have." Selena's 2021 EP, 'Revelacion', was her first project to be recorded mainly in Spanish. 'Revelacion' actually debuted at number one on the Top Latin Albums chart, meaning that it became the first album by a female artist to achieve the feat since Shakira's 'El Dorado', and Selena admits that the record still means a lot to her. The chart-topping singer shared: "I never really focus on stats and charts, but when I hear something like that, all I can feel is pride. Shakira is an icon and someone I've always looked up to and I love her so much. "Making a Spanish album was something I had wanted to do for a long time. Over the years, I'd release a Spanish version of one of the songs off an album but having an all-Spanish project was something that meant a lot to me. "I worked hard on making sure I paid homage to my Latin roots, through the music as well as the aesthetics of all the visuals." Selena also starred in 'Emilia Perez', the Spanish-language film, in 2024, and she relished the challenge of working in Spanish, insisting that she enjoys being put in "uncomfortable spaces" as an actress. Selena - who is engaged to record producer Benny Blanco - explained: "I pushed myself into uncomfortable spaces which as an actress are the most rewarding. It was a magical time and working with [director] Jacques [Audiard] was one of my best experiences. "I am taking my time to find the right role and director to work with next because I want it to be a challenge and unexpected."
