Los Angeles, California (July 10, 2025)- Latin music continues its global rise, and this time, it’s Netón Vega and Alemán leading the charge. Their chart-topping single “Te Quería Ver” has officially become the most certified Latin track of 2025, earning seven Platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Released earlier this year, “Te Quería Ver” has become a runaway success, claiming the top spot on the RIAA’s mid-year Gold and Platinum Awards list—an honor reserved only for works launched and certified between January 1 and June 30. The achievement cements the track as the biggest Latin single of the year so far, both commercially and culturally.
Netón Vega, one of the fastest-rising stars in regional Mexican music, teamed up with rap heavyweight Alemán in a genre-bending collaboration that bridges generations and styles. Their synergy struck a powerful chord across audiences in the U.S., Mexico, and Latin America, turning the track into a streaming juggernaut and a fan favorite.
“Knowing that a song that came straight from the heart is reaching so many people and touching lives—that’s the real award,” said Netón Vega after learning of the RIAA milestone.
But “Te Quería Ver” is more than a chart success. It’s a cultural moment that reaffirms the potential of Latin music to transcend borders and connect listeners on a deeper emotional level. The song’s introspective lyrics and genre-blending sound reflect the evolving identity of Latin music in 2025—authentic, boundary-pushing, and deeply human.
And while the award is a major win, it’s just one stop on Netón Vega’s meteoric rise.
At just 21 years old, Netón—born Luis Ernesto Vega Carvajal in La Paz, Baja California Sur—is quickly becoming the face of a new generation in Mexican music. From penning breakout hits like “La People” and “Rubicon” (famously interpreted by Peso Pluma) to earning a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Si No Quieres No” alongside Luis R Conriquez, Netón’s fingerprints are all over the current wave of corridos and regional fusion.
With more than 32 million monthly Spotify listeners, a combined social media following in the millions, and streaming numbers that rival industry veterans, Netón Vega’s impact is undeniable. His songs “Loco” (320M Spotify / 21M YouTube), “Morena” (145M Spotify / 42M YouTube), “La Patrulla” (495M Spotify / 96M YouTube), and “Si No Quieres No” (605M Spotify / 455M YouTube) prove his consistency—and dominance—across platforms.
“Te Quería Ver” alone boasts 222 million Spotify streams and 70 million YouTube views, underscoring the massive reach and resonance of his latest collaboration.
As he blazes forward with confidence, Netón Vega is doing more than building a career—he’s reshaping the narrative of Mexican music with every release. His unique voice, storytelling ability, and refusal to fit into a single genre box are making him a standout in an increasingly crowded field.
Netón Vega is no longer a rising star—he’s the moment. And with hits like “Te Quería Ver” leading the charge, his story is only just beginning.
