A couple weeks ago Billboard reported that Ariel Camacho‘s “Hablemos” had debuted at #44 on its Hot Latin chart. This is the same “Hablemos” whose yearning, lovey-dovey video dropped in March of 2014, almost a year before Camacho died; it now has 48 million views. This week the song moves up to #14 Hot Latin and #9 on the airplay chart, and it’s also the title track of a new Camacho album. Hablemos (DEL) contains some previously released songs and some apparently unreleased ones that I wanna call “unearthed,” or “liberated from the vaults,” or maybe “scraped from the studio dustbin.”
Not that Hablemos is a bad album. As Sierreño offshoots go, it’s better than the latest by Los Cuates, because Camacho’s guitar chops and his interplay with Omar Burgos’s tuba elevate his music to its own league. But aside from “Entre Pláticas Y Dudas,” a killer two-year-old corrido that’s this week’s Pick to Click, the whole thing feels a bit lethargic.
Not much else happening. Banda MS enters the Hot Latin chart, but not the airplay chart, at #15 with a lifeless ballad that’s less exciting than me doing the dishes, but that nevertheless garnered four million YouTube hits in a week. (Lesson learned: watch for my forthcoming YouTube series “Classic Sudz.”) Roberto Tapia’s “No Valoraste” is falling down the chart, even though Tapia just dropped its excellent parent album. (More on that album later.) And in the latest move in a career that’s begging for either a surprise intervention or a Very Special Episode, Recoditos gains airplay with their energetic cry for help “Pistearé.” Livers working overtime.
Not as overtime as King Romeo’s “Propuesta Indecente,” though, whose Van Winkleian slumber chart tenure extends to 121 increasingly indecent weeks.
