  "account": "Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album makes a strong impression on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart, with two tracks from the forthcoming 34-song collection (set to release on Nov. 19) making their debut on the multifaceted ranking (issued on Oct. 3) — including one that climbs to the top 10. Rauw Alejandro's \"Macacoa 2000\" leads the charge, landing at No. 10 on the chart that combines streaming activity, radio airplay, and digital sales to determine its rankings. This achievement comes from a staggering 2 million official streams amassed in the United States during the week ending Sept. 24, as reported by Luminate. The newcomer is Rauw's 17th top 10 hit and his first since \"Khe?,\" a 2024 collaboration with Romeo Santos that propelled both artists to No. 3. This marks Rauw's third solo top 10 entry, surpassing his previous peak of No. 2 in Sept. 2021 with \"Todo De Ti.\" His tribute to Frankie Ruiz, \"Tú Con Él,\" previously entered and peaked at No. 6 in November 2024. Meanwhile, the bilingual collaboration \"Sexy Magic\" from Ca7riel, Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred, and French DJ-producer Étienne de Crécy debuts at No. 16, fueled by 1.5 million official streams during the same tracking week. This marks the first Hot Latin Songs chart appearance for each artist, with Fred again having two prior Hot Latin Songs entries, including his top 10 breakthrough \"Te Estoy Correteando\" with LATIN MAFIA in September. The latter climbs to a new No. 4 peak on the present list. Beyond Hot Latin Songs, \"Sexy Magic\" also secures two top 10 debuts: No. 8 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and No. 2 on Hot Latin Pop Songs. The collaboration marks a significant milestone for Crécy, who achieves a triple-chart showing — including two top 10 placements — on his inaugural venture to the Billboard charts.",
