Junior H and Gael Valenzuela’s DEPR3$$ED MFKZ debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Regional Mexican Albums chart (dated Feb. 28).
The 15-track set marks the label mates’ first collaborative album, and a significant milestone for Valenzuela who transitions from his role as a songwriter to a lead artist. The set, Valenzuela’s first, also bows at No. 3 on the overall Top Latin Albums.
DEPR3$$ED MFKZ, which meanes ‘Depressed Motherf—ers, starts with 32,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week of Feb. 13-19, according to Luminate. Most of the album’s starting sum stems from streaming activity —equating to 33.4 million official streams of the album’s tracks (minimal activity derives from traditional album sales and track-equivalent units from song sales).
DEPR3$$ED MFKZ is the fifth No. 1 for Junior H on the Regional Mexican Albums chart. It follows $ad Boyz 4 Life II, which peaked at No. 1 in Sept. 2025 and dominated for 10 consecutive weeks —his longest coronation. The latter contained eight songs crediting Valenzuela as a songwriter.
In addition to its No. 1 start on Regional Mexican Albums, DEPR3$$ED MFKZ launches at No. 3 on Top Latin Albums, marking the sixth top 10 for Junior H.
Valenzuela — a corridos tumbados singer-songwriter from Guanajuato, Mexico, — made his Billboard chart debut just a month ago, when “Mi Gata,” the album’s lead single, debuted at Nos. 10 and 14 on the Hot Regional Mexican Songs and Hot Latin Songs charts, respectively (dated Jan. 24). On this week’s ranking, “Mi Gata” climbs to No. 8 on the Hot Regional Mexican Songs chart.
DEPR3$$ED MFKZ‘s success extends to the all-genre Billboard 200, where the album debuts at No. 15 — the second top 20-charting project for Junior H.
Adding to DEPR3$$ED MFKZ’s splash across the charts, 13 songs from the album reach the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, which combines radio airplay, streaming date and digital sales. “Droga Letal” with Peso Pluma, the album’s only collaborator, leads the new recruits, debuting at No. 12, mostly powered by 3.9 million official streams registered during the tracking period. The sum leads a No. 16 start on Latin Streaming Songs, likewise Valenzuela’s first entry there. Plus, it gives Valenzuela his first visit to the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, at No. 100.
