Mister Chivo Scores First No. 1 on a Billboard Chart With Grupo Frontera Collab
Mexican cumbia and pop band Mister Chivo achieves its first No. 1 on a Billboard chart with “¿Qué Haces Por Acá?” with Grupo Frontera, as the song jumps 2-1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart dated Oct. 18.
“¿Qué Haces Por Acá?” is Mister Chivo’s first entry on any Billboard songs chart. The sextet from Tamaulipas, Mexico has only charted three times previously, all with albums: two times on Top Regional Mexican Albums (in 1987 and 1991), and once on the now-defunct Latin Album Sales chart (in 2019).
“¿Qué Haces Por Acá?” ascends with 6.9 million audience impressions earned in the United States in the week ending Oct. 9, according to Luminate. That’s a 3% gain from the week prior. The song, which pays tribute tothe musical heritage of the 1970s, was released June 11 via BorderTown, marking the indie label’s first chart-topping entry.
“¿Qué Haces Por Acá?” sends Los Dos De Tamaulipas’ “Supercargada” to No. 5, after the latter’s 29% dip in impressions during the tracking period. Mirroring Mister Chivo’s breakthrough achievement, Los Dos De Tamaulipas celebrated their first chart-topper on the Oct. 4-dated ranking.
Grupo Frontera collects its 13th No. 1 in just two years. Their previous No. 1, “Me Jaló,” a second chart-topping hit with Fuerza Regida, claimed the top spot in April 2025. Both acts previously dominated Regional Mexican Airplay with the three-week ruler “Bebé Dame” in 2023. That said, here’s a look at Frontera’s collection of No. 1s dating back to Jan. 2023:
