Génesis debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200, including number 1 on the Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts with 73,000 album-equivalent units making it the highest-charting regional Mexican album in the chart's history.[9][10]

Background

After having finished the year 2022 and started 2023 with several hits on world charts,[11][12][13] Pluma and his team made the announcement of the release on 14 June 2023, through their social networks, showing the album cover as well as the track list and featuring artists.[14] The album cover references artwork from Canadian rapper Drake's mixtape Dark Lane Demo Tapes.[15] Pluma said that he had been working on the album "of all Mexican music" for a year and "producing it for a while".[6]

The singer told Billboard: "I want my album to be welcomed by people, I want it to have the same airplay as the singles... I'm showing people another part of La Doble P."[16]

The album was released on the afternoon of 22 June 2023 digitally and streaming. The official announcement of the release was through a one-minute video published and starred by the American boxer Mike Tyson, who had previously declared himself an admirer of the Mexican's music.[17] The visualizer videos of each song were also published on the singer's official YouTube channel.[18] On June 29, he published a deluxe version of the album, which included an unpublished song called "Tulum" recorded with Grupo Frontera and two songs that had already been singles in previous months: "PRC" with Natanael Cano and "Las Morras" with Blessd.[19]

Critical reception

Andrew Sacher of BrooklynVegan highlighted the album as a notable release of the week and wrote that the songs are "primarily fueled by fiery acoustic guitars, insistent horns, and only minimal percussion, and Peso Pluma tops it off with a voice and a knack for melody that are both truly addictive" and that he sustains how "distinct and ear-catching he always sounds" on other artists' tracks across 14 of his own.[1] Lucas Villa of Spin found that on Génesis, Pluma "channels his rebellious swagger into a feisty collection of songs pushing corridos into the mainstream – and the future", singling out "77" for being a "knockout" and "bélico" ("badass").[20] Anamaria Sayre of NPR called it "really exciting to see how [Pluma is] pushing the genre" of corridos tumbados "forward but in really subtle ways. He's not abandoning it. He's insisting that regional is really here to stay".[2]
