The Grammy Awards aren’t the only musical award show seeing a change to the songs topping the charts and the nominations list. The Billboard Latin Music Awards are also seeing a move away from Pop and Rock and going toward Urban music in many of the categories.
Latin music artists Bad Bunny and Ozuna top the list of nominees for the annual Latin Awards this year with 14 each.
Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, Anuel AA, Sech, Snow, Capo, Romeo Santos, Nicky Jam, Tainy, Darell, Luis Fonsi, Marc Anthony, and Farruko have also garnered multiple nominations.
The winners will be announced on April 23 in a gala event in Las Vegas; the culmination of the three day Latin music, culture, and entertainment event LatinFest+.
