Billboard Latin Music Awards

Regional Mexican music star Peso Pluma was the big winner at Thursday night’s (Oct. 5) 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards, taking home eight awards, including artist of the year, new; Hot Latin Songs artist of the year, male; and the coveted songwriter of the year award, reflecting his more than 20 hits on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart.
Pluma’s awards also included four nods alongside trio Eslabón Armado for their runaway hit “Ella Baila Sola,” which won Hot Latin Song of the year and Hot Latin Song of the year, vocal event, among other prizes.
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 Mañana 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.

Performing their collaborative hit “El Merengue,” and accompanied by a group of dancers, the two artists got everyone in the audience dancing. Turizo interacted with some of them during the performance.
Turizo, wearing a shiny suit and dark glasses, Marshmello, the famous masked DJ at the side of the stage, created a mix that highlighted the EDM sound of the track and got the party going in the crowd. The performance ended with the lights dimmed, the dancers holding lamps in their hands, and a shower of confetti.
Manuel Turizo and Marshmello’s “El Merengue” spent 13 weeks at the top of the Tropical Airplay chart and also reached the pinnacle of Latin Airplay. The collaboration gave Christopher Comstock, better known as Marshmello, his first No. 1 on the Latin charts.
Meanwhile, the Colombian star participated in the Billboard Latin Music Week 2023 “Rising Star Q&A” panel on Wednesday (Oct. 4), where he reflected on how he built his career little by little. “At the beginning you have no idea about anything,” Turizo recalled.

Accompanied by mariachis, the legendary Mexican singer and the Newyorican star gave a powerful performance — the former dressed as a charro, the latter elegantly in black — taking turns to sing fiery verses such as “Now you realize that you changed my love for interest, that things are not done by force”, before joining in beautiful harmony: “I hope it hurts you, I hope you cry like one day I cried.”
In its 30th annual edition, the Billboard Latin Music Awards were broadcast live from the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida, on Telemundo. Simultaneously, they could be seen on the Universo cable channel, on Peacock and the Telemundo app, and in Latin America and the Caribbean through Telemundo Internacional.

La Diva, La Potra, La Caballota, la Reina del Reggaetón. Ivy Queen goes by many nicknames because she is a true icon and a genre pioneer. On Thursday (Oct. 5), the Queen — who wore an elegant black velvet dress with a touch of sheer — accepted her Icon Award at the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards, presented to her by Yandel.

The award recognizes the Puerto Rican superstar, a pioneer of reggaetón, as an artist who has carved out a career that has remained relevant through time.
“It’s a great night for me and for my family in a genre that has taught me many things,” she said while accepting her award. “One of the greatest things is not to sell my essence, to stand firm despite the thousands of stones that got in my way from the beginning.”
She continued: “This is a genre that also taught me to embrace my masculine side, because when I started in this genre I had to battle with males and not with females. I want to think that I can pick each one of these flowers while I am alive, and you don’t know the immense pride I feel knowing that there are more women on the stage because I say that I did my job as it should be.”
Celebrated globally for achieving both musical and commercial success, Ivy Queen’s career spans nearly 30 years. She earned her first entry on a Billboard chart with “Quiero Bailar,” which peaked at No. 16 on the Tropical Airplay chart in July 2005, and, a few months later, scored her first No. 1 on that tally with “Cuéntale.” She boasts 20 entries on Latin Rhythm Airplay, the third-most among Latina artists; 400 million on-demand official streams in the U.S., according to Luminate; 560,000 albums sold in the U.S.; and 584,000 song downloads.

“I think of you drunk and crazy, you left my heart broken / I only know about you through social media, liking the photos,” the duo sing on their collaboration, which was released in September.
Yandel is a finalist for three awards at this year’s ceremony, including Latin rhythm song of the year and Latin airplay song of the year for his Feid collaboration “Yandel 150” and Latin rhythm artist of the year, duo or group, alongside Wisin. “Yandel 150” topped Billboard’s Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts (dated April 15), marking his 15th No. 1 among 34 chart appearances.

Flanked by white dove wings and backed by a gigantic heart as props, the men of Los Ángeles Azules showed up wearing metallic blazers, while the women wore elegant red dresses. Argentine artist Nicki Nicole performed the dolce tropical number of “Otra Noche,” then Mexican singer-songwriters Ximena Sariñana and Sofía Reyes took the stage, singing “Mis Sentimientos” and “Nunca Es Suficiente,” respectively. Then the sibling band resumed with the invigorating medley, belting out the swoon-worthy “Cómo Te Voy a Olvidar.”
Moments after delivering their potpourri of classics, the sibling band accepted their Lifetime Achievement Award. “Thanks to our parents, thanks to our families, to the fans, to all the people around the world who have supported the romantic music of Los Ángeles Azules,” said Elías Mejía, one of the members of the band of brothers, as he accepted the honor. “We are going to continue singing and dancing, and we are going to continue making cumbia, desde Iztapalapa para el mundo (from Iztapalapa for the world).”
Continuously modernizing the storied regional Mexican subgenre for the next generation, the sibling band have extended their reach tenfold by revamping their hits and writing new ones alongside an exhilarating all-star cast of Latin artists from all corners of the map.
With a 40-year musical career, Los Ángeles Azules have achieved great success, including 14 entries on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart, with three songs in the top 10. They also have 16 entries on Latin Airplay, of which six reached the top 10, including “Nunca es Suficiente,” with Natalia Lafourcade, which peaked at No. 3 in 2019. Their 2020 album De Buenos Aires Para El Mundo debuted at No. 8 on the Regional Mexican Albums chart, making it the band’s 12th album to reach the top 10 on the tally.

With dancers ready for a pool party in swimsuits and lush palm trees against a sunset facade behind them, the musical duo traded verses as they sang and rapped about partying until the break of dawn in a “Fiesta Loca” — or crazy party — as the song’s title suggests. A slew of onstage pyrotechnics ended the fittingly hot performance before the rest of the awards show got underway.
“Fiesta Loca” was released in July and comes less than a year after El Alfa released his fifth studio album, Sagitario, in November 2022 and his June 2023 compilation album, Dembow Worldwide Hits Teteo 42. Quiles, meanwhile, hasn’t released an album since 2021’s La Última Promesa.
