List of best-selling albums in Mexico

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mexico ranks as the tenth largest music market in the world and the largest Spanish-language market, according to the IFPI 2024 report.[1][2] Although long plagued by piracy,[3] the domestic market has strengthened in recent years due to strong growth from digital and streaming services, which account for 66% of the overall value, according to the IFPI.[4]

Two lists are shown that collect the best-selling albums released in the country; the first is based on figures from the database of the Asociación Mexicana de Productores de Fonogramas y Videogramas (AMPROFON) uploaded since 1999. The second shows the best-selling albums by claimed sales.[5]
