Figueroa’s impact extends far beyond the Tropical chart; the single has also impressively climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Latin Airplay chart, a significant feat for a salsa track competing against pop and urban dominance. The song’s strength is further confirmed by its six consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Mediabase Tropical.
The success of “Cómo Se Compara” not only reflects the musical quality of his latest EP, GRIS (which Remezcla called his “best collection to date”), but also the genuine connection he has forged with an audience eager to see salsa evolve without losing its core essence. As El Nuevo Herald noted, Figueroa is an artist “who dares to carry it forward, all while remaining true to its essence.”
While celebrating this major chart achievement, Figueroa announced two forthcoming joint performances with the iconic salsa artist La India—one on December 5 at Hard Rock Live Orlando (Orlando, FL) and another on December 20 at the Palace Theatre (Waterbury, CT). Figueroa continues to push the boundaries of his music, reaffirming the enduring power and relevance of salsa in contemporary Latin music.
