Trending on Billboard

The 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards have begun, with the industry’s biggest stars gathering at the James L. Knight Center in Miami for a night of excitement and big performances.

Bad Bunny leads the list of finalists with 27 entries, a historic record, and already has one trophy secured: the Top Latin Artist of the 21st Century, for his unparalleled achievements on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums and Hot Latin Songs charts between the years 2000 and 2024. The Puerto Rican superstar is followed by Fuerza Regida with 15 mentions, and Rauw Alejandro with 14. Leading the female artists is Karol G with 10 mentions, matching those of rising regional Mexican artist Tito Double P who also has 10, while Peso Pluma is a nine-time finalist.

Other artists who will be honored with special awards this year include Italian superstar Laura Pausini, who will receive the Billboard Icon Award; Mexican star Peso Pluma, with the first Billboard Vanguard Award; and merengue icon Elvis Crespo, with the Billboard Hall of Fame Award.

This year the awards are being presented in 49 categories, spanning leading genres including Latin pop, tropical, Latin rhythm and regional Mexican. Finalists and winners reflect performance of new recordings on Billboard’s albums and songs charts for the period covering rankings dated Sept. 14, 2024 through the Sept. 6, 2025, charts. Determinations are based on key fan interactions with music, including streaming, album and digital song sales, radio airplay and touring, tracked by Billboard and its data partner, Luminate.

Hosted by Goyo and Javier Poza and broadcasted live from Miami’s James L. Knight Center on Telemundo, the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards can also be streamed live on the Telemundo app, Peacock and Telemundo Internacional across Latin America and the Caribbean.
