Fans Choose Cris MJ’s ‘Si No Es Contigo’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music Latin

Cris MJ’s latest single, “Si No Es Contigo,” has topped this week’s new music Latin poll.

In a poll published on Friday (May 24) — in support of the weekly New Music Latin roundup and playlist, curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — music fans voted for the Chilean artist’s newest production as their favorite music release of the week.

“Si No Es Contigo,” which translates to “if it’s not with you,” shockingly garnered almost all of this week’s votes (95%), beating out new releases that dropped this week including ​​Camilo’s new album, Cuatro, Trueno’s hip-hop set El Último Baile, Nathy Peluso’s Grasa album and The GB album by Gabito Ballesteros.

Trueno’s third studio album, which thoroughly showcases the generational and cultural impact of hip-hop music, came in second place. 

“Si No Es Contigo” is Cris MJ’s latest release on the heels of his smash hits “Una Noche en Medellín” and, most recently, the FloyyMenor-assisted “Gata Only,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart. 

The reggaetón song, fused with some Middle Eastern rhythms, finds the Chilean act tapping into his romantic side. “If it’s not with you, love/ I don’t want anyone else/ Only you have what I love/ Baby, let’s take advantage/ Baby, let’s get married,” he chants, while complimenting how beautiful the girl looks in everything she wears. 

Last week, music fans voted for Bacilos’ new album Pequeños Romances as their favorite music release. The set brought in 47% of the vote, followed by a very close second favorite with Luis Fonsi’s travel-inspired album, El Viaje, with more than 46%.
