Pluma was followed in number of wins by global superstar Bad Bunny, with seven awards, including artist of the year, tour of the year and Global 200 Latin artist of the year, as well as two awards for his smash hit “Titi me Preguntó.”
Both Pluma and Bad Bunny performed at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, which were produced by MBS Events and aired live on Telemundo from the Watsco Center in Miami.
Next up in wins was Colombian star Karol G, who won five awards, two of them for her album Ma?ana Será Bonito as Top Latin Album of the year. The set, which debuted at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart — the first Spanish-language album by a female artist to do so in history — also won Latin Rhythm Album of the year. Karol G also took home the Hot Latin Songs artist of the year, female and top Latin Albums artist of the year, female awards. In addition, she was honored with Billboard’s Spirit of Hope Award for her philanthropic work supporting women through her Con Cora Foundation.
The four top winners — Peso Pluma, Bad Bunny, Karol G and Eslabón Armado — reflect the current state of Latin music, where urban beats are living high on the charts along with a new generation of Mexican music artists who have become global successes.
The plurality was also reflected in this year’s special awards, with Mexican cumbia act Los Angeles Azules receiving the Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award and reggaetón pioneer Ivy Queen the Icon award.
Finalists and winners of the Billboard Latin Music Awards reflect performance of new recordings on Billboard‘s albums and songs charts during a one-year period from the rankings dated Aug. 13, 2022, through this year’s Aug. 12, 2023 charts. Determinations are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay and touring, tracked by Billboard and its data partner, Luminate.
Other key winners of the evening included Manuel Turizo, Shakira, Bizarrap, Fuerza Regida, Aventura, Camilo, Edgar Barrera, Grupo Frontera, Ivan Cornejo, Maná, Marshmello, Romeo Santos and Wisin & Yandel.
