The Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart, published in Billboard magazine, is a record chart that features Latin music sales information. This data are compiled by Nielsen SoundScan from a sample that includes music stores, music departments at electronics and department stores, Internet sales (both physical and digital) and verifiable sales from concert venues in the United States.[1] The data for this chart was published every two weeks, unlike most Billboard charts.

The Regional Mexican Albums chart was first of the three Latin-related albums (along with Latin Pop Albums and Tropical Albums) published on June 29, 1985, eight years before the Top Latin Album survey which began on July 10, 1993.[2] Billboard published a biweekly chart throughout the 1980s.

Los Tigres del Norte were the first artists to reach number-one with their album, Jaula de Oro'.[3] Three other albums by the group: El Otro Mexico, Los Idolos del Pueblo, and Los Corridos Prohibidos reached number-one on the Regional Mexican charts.[4] Each album by the group received a Grammy Award-nomination for Best Mexican-American Performance.[5][6][7]

Los Bukis, led by Marco Antonio Solís, were the second artists to reach number-one with their album, A Donde Vas.[8]

Joan Sebastian was the first solo performer of Regional Mexican music to reach number-one with his album Rumores.[9] Another album by Joan Sebastian, Con Tambora was the longest number-one Regional Mexican album which spent 23 consecutive weeks.[10]

Los Bondadosos reach number-one in the chart for the first time with their album, Porque me haces sufrir.[11] In addition, a compilation album related to group reached number-one on the chart.[12]

Two albums by Los Yonic's reached number-one on the chart: Petalo y Espinas and Siempre Te Amaré.[13][14] The former received a Grammy Award-nomination for Best Mexican-American Performance.[7]

Near the end of the decade, Vicente Fernández's album, Por Tu Maldito spent 11 consecutive weeks number-one on the chart.[15]
