LUCIANO LUNA IS THE MOST PROMINENT LATIN COMPOSER
OF THE YEAR
Billboard's Creative Top 10 ranking also includes Alma Rosario and Ricky Muñoz
Leading the ranking of songwriters across all Latin music genres, the SESAC Latina-affiliated artist Luciano Luna Díaz is #1 on Billboard's 'Midyear Recap of Top Latin Songwriters and Publishers' for the first half of 2013.
This chart, which ranks the Top 10 Latin music composers in the United States for the first half of 2013, also features SESAC Latina affiliates Alma Rosario and Ricky Muñoz. SESAC Latina is the most innovative performing-rights society in the world.
Making it clear that the Regional Mexican genre in its "multiple forms" continues dominating Latin music in the United States, Billboard notes that in June, Luciano Luna won a SESAC Latina Music Award.
Drilling down on Luciano Luna's chart-topping achievement, Billboard notes that during the first half of 2013, four of his compositions dominated the airplay charts, including one recorded by Banda El Recodo. They've been working together since 2007, and have teamed up to create such decisive hits as the #1 smash "Dime Que Me Quieres" (2011), co-written by Miguel Ángel Romero, who is also a SESAC Latina affiliate.
The article points out that Luciano Luna's songs have been recorded by such well-known talents as Julión Álvarez.
This chart also includes Alma Rosario, the only woman in the Top 10, whose "Y Ahora Resulta" (And Now It Turns Out), recorded by Voz de Mando, spent seven big weeks at#1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart.
In addition, SESAC Latina affiliate Ricky Muñoz, the leader, founder, vocalist and accordionist of Intocable, made this prestigious chart thanks to his song "Te Amo (Para Siempre)" (I Love You Forever), which also hit #1 on Regional Mexican Airplay and has now spent five months on the airplay Top 10.
Billboard went on to note that this song was "equally successful in Mexico and began Muñoz's association with SESAC Latina as a songwriter."
