end of year

As Billboard unveils its 2024 year-end charts this Friday (Dec. 13), anticipation was met with familiar results at the top of the Top Latin Artists survey. Despite releasing no new albums this year, a notable achievement emerged as a Puerto Rican megastar continued his reign — can you guess who? — marking a record-setting sixth consecutive year leading the charts. This milestone solidifies his status as the only artist to claim the coveted title since the category’s inception in 2011. Yes, Bad Bunny does it again, maintaining his chart dominance at No. 1.

In a continued rise, Fuerza Regida, who last year held the fourth slot, just behind Karol G and Peso Pluma, comes in strong at second place this year. The prolific San Bernardino band released Pa’ La Babys y la Belikeada late last year, which entered the Billboard 200 at No. 14, followed by an EP Dolido Pero No Arrepentido, and another album this year, Pero No Te Enamores, charting at No. 69 and 25 respectively.

Karol G maintains her strong presence, securing the No. 3 spot on this year’s list, consistent with her ranking from last year. She remains the only female Latin artist in the top 10, with Kali Uchis just missing the cut at No. 11. Shakira follows at No. 26, Young Miko at No. 30, Becky G at No. 34, and Anitta at No. 40. Additionally, the Colombian hitmaker achieves this remarkable feat for the sixth consecutive year.

While the top 10 Latin artists are featured below, the broader landscape of the top 20 includes, Carín León (No. 12), Myke Towers (13), Natanael Cano (14), Tito Double P (15), Luis R. Conriquez (16), Cris MJ (17), Oscar Maydon (18), Floyymenor (19), and Eslabon Armado (20). Explore the full 50 Top Latin Artists and our category-spanning 2024 year-end charts.

Billboard’s year-end music recaps represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts from Oct. 28, 2023 to October 19, 2024. Rankings for Luminate-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the titles appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology detail, and the October-October time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.
