More than any other genre in Latin music, regional Mexican has been buffeted by market conditions both broad and specific.
The genre has been affected by developments ranging from the crackdown on illegal immigrants and the nation’s economic downturn to the uncertainty over the impact of the recent sale of Latin powerhouse Univision Music Group to Universal Music Group. And yet, numbers from Nielsen SoundScan and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) show a genre that, despite the downturn in the economy in general and the music industry in particular, remains sturdy, if not unshaken. Regional Mexican music is still, by huge margins, the dominant Latin music genre in the country.”*
