Release and success

edit

Released roughly a year after his debut solo album Voltage AC, Voltio charted and sold well, partly due to the success of the single "Chulin Culin Chunfly", a collaboration with reggaeton performer Residente of Calle 13. It sold 4,020 copies in its first week, debuting at number twenty on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.[2]
