Rosalia hit jackpot with her third studio album, "Motomami". Arriving on March 18, the new project was chosen as This Week's Favorite New Music on Billboard upon its release.
Rosalia's first album in four years brought in nearly 28 percent of the vote. Trailing behind were Normani Kordei ("Fair"), Coi Leray and Nicki Minaj ("Blick Blick"), Charli XCX ("Crash") as well as Carrie Underwood ("Ghost Story").
Although "Motomami" only reached the No. 42 spot in the U.K. Official Albums Chart Top 100, it hit the summit of Billboard's Latin Pop Albums on the April 2-dated ranking. It marked the Spanish star's second time to top the list.
"Motomami" debuted with 14,000 SEA units, which equals to 19.37 million on-demand official streams from the album's 16 songs. That makes the second-largest streaming debut by a female act since Karol G's "KG0516" arrived with 19,000 SEA units (equaling 27.4 million on-demand streams of the set's songs).
As previously mentioned, "Motomami" bowed at No. 3 on the all-Latin genre Top Latin Albums tally. It bests her previous No. 10 debut and peaked set El Mal Querer (Nov. 2018). The set concurrently grants RosalÃa her first appearance on the all-genre Billboard 200 as it starts at No. 33; the highest start for a Latin album since Anuel’s Las Leyendas Nunca Mueren opened at No. 30 on Dec. 2021.
"Motomami" is a follow-up to her 2018 album "El Mal Querer", which won five Latin Grammys, including Album of the Year and Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album. The new 16-track set features guest appearances from The Weeknd and Tokischa.
"Motomami" was ushered in by four singles on the all-metric Hot Latin Songs chart: “La Fama,†with The Weeknd, No. 2 debut and peak (Nov. 2021), “Saoko,†No. 22 debut and peak (chart dated Feb. 19), and “Candy†and “Chicken Teriyaki†which debuts at No. 17 and re-enters at No. 20, respectively, on the current ranking.
