The landscape of regional Mexican music continues to shift as new collaborations capture the ears of listeners across the United States. This week, the Culiacán, Sinaloa-based band La Receta achieved a significant career milestone, securing their first-ever No. 1 position on a Billboard chart with the track “Que Belleza de Mujer,” a collaboration featuring singer Joss Favela.
The song’s ascent to the top of the Regional Mexican Airplay chart, dated June 6, 2026, marks a pivotal moment for the group. For Joss Favela, the success represents his third No. 1 on the same chart, further cementing his influence in the genre. According to data provided by Luminate, the track saw a 17% increase in audience impressions, reaching 6.4 million listeners during the tracking week of May 22–28, 2026.
A Collaborative Rise to the Top
The journey of “Que Belleza de Mujer” from a studio recording to a chart-topping anthem reflects the growing appetite for collaborative efforts within the Regional Mexican music scene. Originally released in July 2025 as part of Favela’s Mis Compas Vol. 2 EP via Sony Music Latin, the track later found a permanent home on his fifth studio album, Mis Compas: El Final, which was released earlier this year.
The song’s performance earned it the “Greatest Gainer” honors for the week, a distinction awarded to the title that experiences the most significant growth in audience reach. This surge in popularity allowed the song to vault from the No. 3 position to the top spot, solidifying its status as a breakout hit for La Receta.
