Fans Choose Esaú Ortiz’s ‘Discontrol’ Album as Their Favorite New Latin Music of the Week
Esaú Ortiz’s Discontrol has topped Billboard’s latest new Latin music poll, published on Friday, Oct. 10.
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 artist’s new album as their favorite music release of the week. Ortiz came in first place with 60% of the votes for Discontrol. In second place, with nearly 40 percent of the vote, was La Nueva Ola de la Cumbia’s “Lucha Libre.”
Released via Esaú Ortiz Azuara and distributed by Sony Music Latin, the 14-track LP cements Ortiz as a rising force in música mexicana, opening with the title track that is a bona fide party anthem, fusing disco-tinged beats with regional Mexican instrumentation — showcasing the singer-songwriter’s versatility from the get-go. “Discontrol” sets the tone for Ortiz’s experimental essence in the album, dabbling in hip-hop, pop, cumbia and electronica.

The album also includes his global viral hit “Triple Lavada,” which landed in Billboard‘s Best Songs of 2025 (So Far). The song’s remix, featuring Mexican heavy hitters Luis R Conriquez, Oscar Maydon, Alemán and Victor Mendivil, closes Discontrol.
In April, Ortiz signed with Sony Music Latin and said in a statement, “I have the best team to take my music to the next level and to the ears of everyone.” He added, ” I believe we will do great things together, which makes me very happy.”
The poll also included new releases by Nathy Peluso, who teamed up with Rawayana for “Malportada,” Santa Fe Klan’s “Wuare” and Shakira’s “Zoo” for Zootopia 2.
Editor’s Note: The weekly New Music Latin poll results are posted if the poll generates more than 1,000 votes.
