10 First-Timers on Billboard’s Charts This Week: Sky Rompiendo, Bethany Cosentino, Bludnymph & More

10 First-Timers on Billboard’s Charts This Week: Sky Rompiendo, Bethany Cosentino, Bludnymph & More

Billboard has more than 200 different weekly charts in its menu, encompassing numerous genres and formats.

While established artists often compete for a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and Billboard 200 albums ranking, which track the most popular songs and albums of the week, respectively, up-and-coming talents typically start off on genre-specific lists.

Here’s a look at 10 titles by acts who appear on surveys for the first time on the June 17-dated charts.

Sky Rompiendo

Sky Rompiendo has been one of the most in-demand Latin music producers of the past decade, but he notches his first career chart entry under an artist billing, thanks to “El Cielo” with Feid and Myke Towers. The track, released June 2 via Black Koi/Sony Music Latin, debuts at No. 34 on Hot Latin Songs with 3.1 million official streams in the United States in its opening week (June 2-8), according to Luminate. It also starts at No. 12 on Latin Digital Song Sales, No. 14 on Latin Streaming Songs, No. 77 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 104 on the Billboard Global 200.

Sky Rompiendo (real name Alejandro Ramírez Suárez) has produced 65 Hot Latin Songs-charting tracks in his career, including 16 top 10s, and three No. 1s, all recorded by J Balvin: “Ay Vamos” (for one week in 2015; it also won for best urban song at the 2015 Latin Grammy Awards), “Ginza” (22 weeks, 2015) and “Bobo” (one week, 2016). He has also produced six Hot 100 hits, most recently Ozuna’s “Hey Mor,” featuring Feid, this year (No. 85 peak). On Billboard’s year-end Hot Latin Songs Producers recaps, he finished at No. 5 in both 2020 and 2021. He was also nominated for producer of the year at the Billboard Latin Music Awards in 2015, 2017 and 2021.

Bethany Cosentino

The singer-songwriter and Best Coast member scores her first solo hit on Billboard’s charts thanks to her single “It’s Fine.” The track, released May 3 through Concord Records, debuts at No. 32 on Adult Alternative Airplay (up 37% in plays). Best Coast announced that it was going on an indefinite hiatus earlier this year. The duo (comprising Cosentino and Bobb Bruno) has charted four studio albums on the Billboard 200: Crazy for You (No. 36 peak in 2010), The Only Place (No. 24, 2012), EP Fade Away (No. 112, 2013) and California Nights (No. 53; 2015). The pair has also charted one song on Adult Alternative Airplay: “Everything Has Changed” (No. 18, 2020). “It’s Fine” is the lead single off Cosentino’s debut solo project, Natural Disaster, due July 28.

The track debuts at No. 167 on the Global 200 and No. 4 on the Hot 100’s Bubbling Under ranking, with 4.6 million U.S. streams. EI8HT enters with her Offset collaboration, “Silk and Cologne.” The track debuts at No. 18 on Bubbling Under with 4 million streams. The soundtrack earned 66,000 equivalent album units in its opening week, as it bows at No. 1 on the Soundtracks chart, No. 2 on Top Rap Albums and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and No. 7 on the Billboard 200.

Bludnymph

Austin Brown

The singer-songwriter and native of Tiftin, Ga., notches his first solo hit on Billboard’s charts with his new single “Hers Ain’t Mine.” The track, which he self-released May 15, debuts at No. 20 on Country Digital Song Sales and No. 50 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart with 2,000 downloads sold. Brown is also a member of a cappella group Home Free, which got its start in 2013 when it participated – and won – the fourth season of NBC’s The Sing-Off. The quintet has charted three tracks on Hot Country Songs: “Angels We Have Heard on High” (No. 30, 2014), “How Great Thou Art” (No. 42, 2016) and “God Bless the USA” (No. 47, 2016). The act has also landed nine titles on Top Country Albums, including five top 10s. Before joining Home Free, Brown (lead tenor in the group), was a singer on Royal Caribbean cruise ships.

She additionally co-hosts the podcast True Crime and Cocktails.

Christian Keyes

The singer-songwriter and actor arrives on Billboard’s charts for the first time with his single “Under That Veil.” The track, released April 7 via Umbrella Entertainment, debuts at No. 29 on Adult R&B Airplay (up 57% in plays).

Riar Saab & Abhijay Sharma

Punjabi artists Riar Saab (real name Tarun Singh Surjeet Singh Riyar) and Abhijay Sharma each claim a first career Billboard chart placement, thanks to their viral hip-hop collaboration “Obsessed.” The song, released in September through Gully Gang/Mass Appeal India, debuts at No. 116 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart (20.6 million streams outside the U.S. June 2-8). TikTok has been instrumental in the song’s growing profile, as a portion of the track has been used in over 55,000 clips on the platform. Also helping boost the track, which is a blend of Hindi and Punjabi, is a series of viral videos of Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal dancing to the song.

Aldo Ranks

The Panamanian reggaeton artist makes his first Billboard chart visit, thanks to his featured credit on Karol G’s “WATATI.” The song, released June 1 via WaterTower/Atlantic Records, debuts at No. 6 on Latin Rhythm Digital Song Sales and No. 15 on Latin Digital Song Sales.

2K owner Take-Two has paused development on Borderlands 4 for the Nintendo Switch 2, the company shared during its Q3 2026 earnings presentation.

Tout au long de l'été, la ville de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu sur la Rive-Sud de Montréal brille avec ses envolées quotidiennes de montgolfières qui colorent le ciel ainsi que l'International de montgolfières, un festival de neuf jours en août. Le 1er juin marquait d'ailleurs le coup d'envoi des festivités alors que l'équipe derrière l'événement a finalement annoncé la programmation complète.

À la fin mars, on nous présentait déjà deux têtes d'affiche qui seront présentes pour animer la foule durant le dernier week-end de l'événement, soit la chanteuse québécoise Alicia Moffet, les rappeurs Loud et Imposs ainsi que celui qui se cache derrière le récent succès Acapulco, Jason Derulo.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has hit out at Labour's "grave errors of judgement" over Lord Peter Mandelson.Speaking to GB News Political Correspondent Katherine Forster, Mr Farage said: "How many more warnings? How many more warnings did the Prime Minister or indeed Morgan McSweeney need? "They have made a grave, grave error of judgement, despite repeated warnings, and this all comes at a time when you've got a Labour MP who's been sentenced to another four years in prison by a foreign court, a Labour MP arrested again and charged on some incredibly serious crimes. "And in politics, you will always get the odd bad apple in a political party, but it would appear that in the case right now of this Prime Minister and his chief of staff, their errors of judgement, partly their errors of judgement, have led now to case after case after case, difficult for somebody who was already the most unpopular Prime Minister in living memory. This deals yet a further blow."And so I still stick to the view that after May the 7th, when you see in Wales, for example, it's very difficult for me to think that Starmer will survive the summer, if he even gets through to May the 7th."WATCH ABOVE.
