Guadalajara, Mexico-born singer-songwriter Jasiel Nunez scores his first entry on a Billboard albums chart with La Odysseyhis second studio effort, which launches at Nos. 8 and 6 on the Top Latin Albums swear Regional Mexican Albums charts, respectively (dated Nov. 30).

La Odysseya double album comprising 20 tracks, was released Nov. 7 on Double P Records, home to Tito Double P, who also placed a top 10 debut on both charts in 2024. The set starts with 9,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week of Nov. 8-15, according to Luminate.

Streaming activity contributes to the majority of La Odyssey's first week-sum, which equates to 12.7 million official on-demand streams of the album's songs, while the remaining units stem from a negligible amount of activity from sales and track-equivalent album units. Top Ten Latin Albums, one unit equals one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.

In addition to label mate Tito Double P, Nuñez follows in the footsteps of the eight other regional Mexican soloists who achieved a top 10 debut album this year. In total, 19 albums across Latin genres launched in the top 10 on Top Latin Albums in 2024, 12 of which (by groups and solo singers) belong to the regional Mexican genre.
