This early success established him as a key artist who helped popularize the corridos tumbados genre, a modern style blending traditional Mexican narrative ballads with elements of trap and hip-hop.
The certification of "El Hijo Mayor" highlights Junior H's sustained impact on the Música Mexicana scene. As a leading figure in his genre, he has amassed a substantial following, with over 28 million followers on Spotify.
