The IFPI's Music Listening 2019 Report found that 62% of Mexicans consider themselves "music lovers" or "music fanatics," according to Billboard, with rock being the No. 1 preferred genre, followed by pop, latin pop, and regional music. Reggaeton came in at No. 8 and metal at No. 10.

The majority of Mexicans listen to music on their phones (over half are watching music videos) while commuting to work or school, hitting the gym, or hanging out at bars and clubs.

So, go on, turn it up raza, it's in the blood.
