The good news keeps coming for “Charm”, the latest Disney animated film. After receiving at dawn on Sunday the Golden Globe for Best Animated Film, this Tuesday it was known that the soundtrack has entered the number 1 on the Billboard chart, ahead of Adele.
Composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Germaine Franco, songs have been slowly climbing the charts since the movie was released, but It was not until the film reached the Disney + platform this Christmas that its success exploded.

Maluma will be part of “Encanto”, the new Disney movie
The Billboard Hot 100 ranks the most popular albums based on consumption of multiple metrics, including copies sold both physically and digitally, as well as listening in subscription services or advertising support.
Both musicians have composed the eight songs of the film -all in Spanish, but also with its version in English- with traditional and popular rhythms of Colombian culture like salsa, vallenato and cumbia.
The original songs are: “The Madrigal family”, “A magical gift”, “In the deep / weight”, “No one talks about Bruno”, “Inspiration”, “Dos Oruguitas” (Sebastián Yatra), “Solo tú, Colombia ”and“ Mi Encanto ”(Carlos Vives).
As for individual success, the song “No se habla de Bruno” has also crept into the fifth place on the Billboard Hot 100, jumping 45 positions, in addition to being the single most played on Spotify and the one that caused the most furor on Tik Tok.
However, despite being the most beloved by the public, it cannot be nominated for an Oscar in the category of Best Original Song. since Disney presented in its place to the preselection “Dos Oruguitas”, an acoustic ballad in Spanish interpreted by Sebastián Yatra.
In this way, according to the official Billboard page, the soundtrack of the magical Madrigal family becomes the sixth animated film to be placed at number one on this list: “The Lion King” (1994), ” Pocahontas ”(1995),“ Jorge, El Curioso ”(2006),“ Frozen ”(2013),“ Frozen 2 ”(2019) and“ Encanto ”(2022).
