El Coyote y Su Banda Tierra Santa ends a nearly 26-year wait for a second No. 1 on Billboard ’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart, as “Te Dije” takes the lead on the ranking dated July 4. The song climbs 7-1 with the Greatest Gainer honors – awarded weekly to the song with largest growth in audience. “After 26 years, we’re back at No. 1,” El Coyote tells Billboard . “The last time was in 2000, and today, in 2026, we return to the top spot with the song ‘Te Dije.’ Thanks to the entire Andaluz team, especially Mr. Jesús Tirado Castañeda — thank you so much, Don Chuy — to the whole crew, to my band Tierra Santa, to God, and to you, the audience. For you, we’ll keep working to make beautiful music and to keep these wonderful things happening, like reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican chart. ¡Ánimo! We keep moving forward.” “Te Dije” crowns Regional Mexican Airplay following a 22% gain in weekly impressions, earning 6.1 million during the June 19-25 tracking week in the United States, according to Luminate. The song replaces Cuisillos’ “Aunque Me Duela,” as the latter slips from No. 1 to No. 5 with 4.8 million audience impressions; a 25% drop for the week.

Between those wins, the group logged eight additional top 10s, led by “Te Vas Amor,” which reached No. 3 in 2003. Overall, El Coyote y Su Banda Tierra Santa has placed 12 top 10s on the chart.
