Chayanne Tops Latin Albums Chart

Chayanne’s new CD, En Todo Estaré, tops Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart this week.  The CD debuted at #17 when early street-date violation sales pushed the album onto the chart last week.

En Todo Estaré is Chayanne’s fifth No. 1 and first since No Hay Imposible spent two weeks at the top in 2010. The first single, “Humanos a Marte,” peaked at No. 3 last month on Latin Airplay and Latin Pop Airplay, and remains in the top 10 on the latter chart (5-7).

The new CD is #1 in sales in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Latin America and Spain. It is already certified Gold in Argentina and Venezuela.

According to a news release:

Since the album release, Chayanne^® has embarked on an extensive promotional tour, where he’s been interviewed by major media outlets and graced magazine covers in many countries. He’s also delighted his fans by holding several autograph sessions and spending a day chatting online with his followers around the world.

His latest smash, the ubiquitous “Humanos a Marte” (Humans on Mars), has given new meaning to the title of its parent album, En Todo Estaré. Not only is the song everywhere, but Chayanne^® is too, surprising his fans in Argentina this week by appearing as a ticket-taker at an airport gate and a subway station among other activities. He also used his international stardom to visit sick children at a hospital that specializes in their recuperation.

Chayanne^® continues his travels in Argentina where his visit has been a huge success. In the coming days, he will visit Chile, Mexico, Colombia and Spain.
