Now getting into an artist that we've talked about numerous amount of times on this podcast, safe to say, my first coverage of Junior H was June 23rd, 2023. Goodness gracious. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at it. So when it comes to that, it was his track with Paisal Pluma titled Luna, but safe to say, we're back again because not only is he notoriously impacting the masses or affecting the masses, I might add, especially with his out, with the, this album, Sad Boys for Life, which, interestingly enough, came out October 5th, 2023. And when you look at the overall charts, he has the 33rd most played album, not in Mexico, but in the world. And when it comes to that specific metric,

the reason why I say not in Mexico is because I cover several Latin musicians from Paiso Pluma to Nate and Vega, a bunch of other people, as far as, far as, just my overall coverage of what's specifically affecting the masses in Mexico. I've talked about Victor Mandevo a bunch of times, but the reason why I say that is because usually I see the music charting in Mexico. I see them doing phenomenal as far as the tour. If you don't know, if you're a huge junior age fan, just know he's currently set to resume his tour as far as November 21st. And when it comes to that, that's why I currently have up. So, Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio car currently have his whole flyer up for its

tour for his tour but he's touring from november 21st to november 29th and of course his last show which is in la mexico is completely sold out so if you just want to catch the other shows um definitely make sure to go to his personal instagram or just go to ticket master just type in junior age but the main thing is his tour is selling out so even though a lot of these latin musicians that I cover have a notorious effect in Mexico. Junior H is one of the few that I've covered. And it's been a lot. I've covered a lot that is actually globally charting as far as his album, Sad Boys for Life that came out October 5th, 2023. And also shout out to Fraser Regina as his album, 1-1X Panthea is the 37th most played album in the world. But the main thing I was

wanting to get into for this specific segment is Junior H's track Pien Solo. Hopefully I'm saying that right. Actually, let's see what Jarvis says because I don't know if I'm pronouncing the right. Song History, Piancelo. Piancelo. There we go. So I definitely wasn't pronouncing the right. But what Peninsula, Pianzlo, I definitely messed it up, that came off the album, Sad Boys for Life. Of course, with that particular album, I've already dove into the details.

This specific track seems to be one of the more standout tracks in Mexico from junior age, along with the plethora of others that I've already covered so I'm not going to get into that those other tracks but as far as Pienzolo it's the 25th most played track in Mexico and safe to say he has not one not two not three four five but six tracks charting in the top 40 or no no top 50 as far as in Mexico specifically and then when it comes to Spotify streams he has over what over 150 million total streams as far as Spotify and then when it comes to his visualizer in YouTube he has over 20 million streams so this is not just some random latin musician that we're getting into that he's been affecting the masses

notoriously for quite some time and even though my coverage goes back to 2023 he's been doing it way before then as he signed to rancho humilde back in 2019 by jimmy humilday and when it comes to that his debut was me vita and on cigaro that came out 2019 but the breakout happened with natanel cano who we also we also covered him a bunch of times on this platform on caridos tumbiados in 2019 pioneering the emotional and trapfused sad boy carido wave which you're going to get into another sad boy in the future shout out to rod wave but the main thing i was going to focus on is definitely piancillo being the 25th most played track in mexico specifically and also his album sad boys

that came out 2023 being a 33 most play album in the world as that definitely showcases longevity in a way that a lot of artists will love to have especially for their specific craft so the main thing i was going to point out also as far as the analytics 70% of streams come from latin america plus u.s so that's very interesting as far as who is actually listening to junior age because i listen to him i have him on my playlist and when it comes to let's in the tracks that I don't understand the language safe to say I always listen to the structure sonically if it's pleasing and then I make my ultimate um assertion if it's a quality track or not to me personally so Virginia age only being 24 years old and seemingly being one of the

formidable leaders in the caritos tombados lane I think he's successfully blending Mexican or traditional Mexican narratives with his whole emo email old trap style and I think that's why he's notoriously affecting the masses because ultimately people are garnering and and basically flocking towards his type of creativity and time and time again I see myself covering junior age and realizing that this man is talented beyond comparison because the different lanes that he gets into the different ways that he attacks the musical creation process it's really a sight to see because there's not too many Latin musicians I'll give that huge a huge type of kudos to as far as the way he goes at creating music.

It's definitely very distinctly different. And that's what you want from a musician specifically. So when it comes to that, click my link to my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Jr. H. Pianzelo and his track being the 23rd, you know, the 25th most played track in Mexico. And the main thing, do you think Junior H is one of the leaders in Caritos Tumbiados? Thank you.
