Kim Loaiza’s ‘X Amor II’ Voted Favorite New Music Latin Poll

Kim Loaiza‘s X Amor II has topped this week’s new music Latin poll.

In the poll — published on Friday (Sept. 13) in support of the weekly New Music Latin roundup and playlist, curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — music fans voted for the Mexican singer’s latest album as their favorite music release of the week.

In X Amor II, Loaiza builds upon the foundations laid by her 2023 debut, X Amor. The Mexican singer demonstrates her evolving artistry through an eclectic mix of genres ranging from reggaetón to música mexicana, peppered with other unexpected styles. A standout track includes the opener, “5 Babys,” a powerhouse intro that features an all-female lineup with Spanish MC Ptazeta, Mexican reggaetonera Bellakath, Argentine lyricist Yami Safdie, and Colombian rapper Fariana.

In second place is “Agora” by Maria Becerra, witch gathered more than 25% of the votes. The Argentine star takes a bold step in this song by incorporating Portuguese into her repertoire, fusing genres such as bossa nova and rap. Following closely in third place is emerging Venezuelan artist MARI with “Tonada del Callejero,” a hypnotizing fusion of urban music and Venezuelan llanero music, with almost 24% of the votes.

Other new releases in the poll included Charly García’s La Lógica del Escorpión, Chino Pacas’ corridos “Otra Vez Pegue Un Vergazo,” Mike Bahía’s tropical pop “La Pena,” and a whole new remix EP by Nathy Peluso, Club Grasa.

Last week, fans chose Andy Rivera’s “Moncler” as the winner of the New Latin Music poll, with over 65% of the votes. See the final results of this week’s survey below.
