Mexico's main ratings service, INRA, does not publicly release its data, so I will only post general rankings of the Top 10 stations in Mexico City.
"CDMX" for "Ciudad de Mexico" as it is popularly called, is the largest metro area in the Americas, with about 3 million more people than the New York City metro.

1. XEJP, Joya 93.7 (Spanish Classic Hits)

5. XEX, 101.7 Los 40 (CHR)
6. XHSH, Amor 95.3 (Spanish AC)
7. XHFO, Radio Disney 92.1 (CHR - no, it's not the kid-focused "Radio Disney" known to Americans, the name is licensed throughout Latin America for a contemporary format.)
8. XHFAJ, Alfa 91.3 (CHR)
-------Below a 4 share-------
9. XHDFM, 106.5 Mix (English Hot AC)

Notes:
Grupera XEQR "La Zeta", which led the market for many years, has fallen out of the top 10.
INRA now lists streaming services as separate "radio stations." The top streamer, Spotify, ranks 13th overall.
The top spoken-word station is #14 XEW "W Radio"
The top AM station is #24 XEPH 590 "La Sabrosita"
