\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\tPeso P<\/a>l<\/a>uma<\/a> is 10 minutes early to his Zoom interview with Billboard<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tIt’s not super common for an artist to appear on the screen right on time, much less earlier than expected — but the Mexican corridos performer is eager to start the interview and talk about “all the crazy” stuff that’s been happening in his short but rapidly ascending career. “Everything is happening so fast,” the 23-year-old artist says. “I’m as excited about everything as I am scared. I’m just enjoying the moment. I think I’m doing all right.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tIt’s safe to say that Peso Pluma is doing just fine. In the past year alone, Peso signed with indie label Prajin Records, his first record deal, and has so far placed nine songs on the Hot Latin Songs<\/a> chart, including three top 10s: corridos anthem “AMG” with Natanael Cano<\/a> and Gabito Ballesteros, his slowed-down sierre\u00f1o track “Por Las Noches” and “PRC” with Cano. He scored his first global chart hit, with the Luis R Conriquez-assisted “Siempre Pendientes,” it reached No. 155 on Global Excl. U.S.<\/a> and No. 174 on the Global 200<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
