Iván Cornejo: The 17-year-old Regional Mexican Artist To Watch

17-year-old California-born artist Iván Cornejo is on fire. Cornejo’s first studio album Alma Vacía, released in August via Manzana Records, just reached No. 2 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Albums chart. In the first week alone, Alma Vacía earned 9.4 million on-demand streams. 

Iván Cornejo has been rapidly rising to fame over the past few months, in part due to his inescapable TikTok presence. The single “Está Dañada” went viral across social media and has become a top song on both national and global charts for Apple Music, Spotify, and TikTok. The track debuted at No. 7 on Hot Latin Songs and is currently No. 3 on the Latin Streaming Songs chart. “Está Dañada” debuted at No. 96 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, which according to Billboard, is only the second time a Regional Mexican hit has ever landed on the chart. 

Today, Iván released the official music video for his chart-topping viral single. Check it out on YouTube below and listen to Alma Vacía out everywhere now.
