IVAN CORNEJO'S 'BABY PLEASE' BREAKS INTO TOP 10 ON HOT LATIN SONGS CHART
Ivan Cornejo's latest track, "Baby Please," has stormed into the music scene, landing him yet another top 10 position on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. The Mexican-American singer-songwriter, who made waves with his hit "Está Dañada" in 2021, is once again proving his prowess with this new entry.
"Baby Please" makes a splash in the top 10 primarily due to its streaming numbers, racking up a remarkable 5.4 million official U.S. streams in just one week. This feat catapults Cornejo to the No. 8 spot on the Hot Latin Songs chart, marking his second top 10 hit after the success of "Está Dañada."
Streaming has been Cornejo's stronghold, with most of his chart entries owing their success to online platforms. Even though radio play hasn't caught up yet, Cornejo's knack for creating streaming-friendly tunes has consistently earned him chart positions.
With "Baby Please" soaring into the top 10, Cornejo not only secures another hit but also brings indie label Zaragoza its first taste of top 10 success on Hot Latin Songs. This achievement further cements Cornejo's status as a rising star in the Latin music scene.
In addition to his success on the Latin charts, "Baby Please" marks Cornejo's third appearance on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100, debuting at No. 95. This further underscores his growing influence beyond the Latin music sphere.
Born in Riverside, California, Cornejo's journey to musical stardom began with a breakup in middle school, which fueled his passion for songwriting. Teaching himself to play the guitar through YouTube tutorials, Cornejo drew inspiration from artists like T3R Elemento and Grupo Los de la O.
Cornejo's debut album, “Alma Vacía,” made a significant impact on the charts, peaking at No. 2 on the US Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart and earning him recognition on the Billboard Latin Songwriters chart. His breakout single, “Está Dañada,” gained viral traction on TikTok and landed him in Billboard's Artist on the Rise column.
His follow-up album, “Dañado,” further solidified his position in the industry, debuting at No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Albums chart and making waves across various Billboard charts.
With "Baby Please" making waves, Cornejo's trajectory in the music industry shows no signs of slowing down. As he continues to captivate audiences with his heartfelt lyrics and infectious melodies, there's no telling where his talent will take him next.
