Fans Choose Jhayco’s ‘Torii’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music Latin

Jhayco‘s latest single “Torii” has topped this week’s new music Latin poll.

In a poll published on Friday (May 31) — in support of the weekly New Music Latin roundup and playlist, curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — music fans voted for the Puerto Rican artist’s latest track as their favorite music release of the week.

“Torii” generated nearly 25% of the vote beating out new releases that dropped this week, including Grupo Firme’s “El Beneficio de la Duda,” Manu Chao’s “Viva Tu” and Junior H and Oscar Maydon’s “Volver al Futuro.” Plus, new albums by Carín León (Boca Chueca, Vol. 1), Manuel Medrano (Perfecto) and Olga Tañón (Así Soy Yo).

Coming in second place on the poll was Marca Registrada’s “Torai,” with 19% of the vote and in third, Mau y Ricky’s album Hotel Caracas with almost 15% of the vote. ​​

Formerly known as Jhay Cortez, the hitmaker delivers a euphoric club-ready banger that thrives on pulsating reggaetón drum beats. It follows previously-released collaborations, such as KTM with Bryant Myers and Luar La L and “BBY BOO (Remix)” with iZaak and Anuel AA. “Torii” — co-produced by Smash David, Bayden and Argel — serves as a preview of what’s to come for Jhayco, who is set to release a new album, which will follow his 2021 Timelezz.

Last week, music fans voted for Cris MJ’s latest single “Si No Es Contigo” as their favorite music release. The song generated almost all votes leading with 95%.
