It’s taken 19 years, but Cuisillos secure its second No. 1 on a national, United States-based Billboardchart, as the group returns to the top of Regional Mexican Airplay with “Aunque Me Duela.” The song surges three spots to lead the June 20-dated list.

The group from Cuisillos, Jalisco, Mexico, previously hit No. 1 on the chart with “Mil Heridas” for two weeks in June 2007.

“Aunque Me Duela,” released April 24 on Apach/Cuisillos, reaches the Regional Mexican Airplay summit with Greatest Gainer honors, awarded weekly to the song with the largest increase in audience at the format. The song earned 6.2 million impressions, up 30% week over week, in the June 5-11 tracking week, according to Luminate.

In between Cuisillos’ two chart-toppers, the group reached a No. 3 Regional Mexican Airplay peak with “Vive y Déjame Vivir” in 2008. Formed in 1987 and known for Native American-inspired stage outfits honoring the group members’ heritage, Cuisillos has logged four top 10s among 26 career entries on the chart. “Cartas Marcadas” became its first top 10, rising to No. 9 in December 2001. The band first drew Billboardchart ink when “No Se Lo Digas a Ella” entered Regional Mexican Airplay in March 2000.

“Aunque Me Duela” also climbs 11-4 on the Latin Airplay chart, which reflects airplay on more than 150 Latin-formatted radio stations across the U.S. It’s the group’s second top 10 on the survey.

Fueled by that radio momentum, Cuisillos also earns its first appearance on the streaming, airplay and sales-based Hot Regional Mexican Songs chart, where “Aunque Me Duela” debuts at No. 22.
