"Peso Pluma's 'Éxodo': Ranking All 24 Songs"
Last year, Peso Pluma emerged as a ubiquitous presence thanks to his unique blend of charchetas, trombones, and his distinctive nasally, raspy vocals. In just a few months, the Mexican-born corridos singer rose to prominence as one of Latin music's biggest stars and a leading figure among the new generation of regional Mexican hitmakers.
With several tracks making waves on the Billboard Hot 100, Peso ignited a revival in corridos, pushing it into mainstream territory. His Grammy-winning album, Génesis, further solidified his impact, debuting and peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, marking the highest rank for a Mexican music album on the chart.
While Génesis introduced Peso Pluma to a broader audience, his latest work, Éxodo, serves a different purpose. This dual two-disc album — one side featuring corridos and the other trap and hip-hop — reflects Peso's exploration of his evolving artistic identity. Breaking free from the confines of regional Mexican music, Peso emerges as an artist who defies easy categorization, expanding his reach without compromising his roots.
Éxodo showcases Peso's versatility and sets the stage for the 25-year-old superstar to continue his ascent in the music industry. Collaborating with both Spanish and English-speaking artists like Cardi B, Quavo, and Rich the Kid, Peso demonstrates his commitment to becoming a global phenomenon.
Below, Billboard ranks all 24 songs from Éxodo, beginning with:
24. "Mala" (feat. Ryan Castro)
Teaming up again after their successful collaboration on "Quema" last year, Peso and Castro deliver another lively reggaetón track driven by a captivating drum beat. While "Quema" may overshadow it, "Mala" shows promise for gaining traction.
