Shakira, Karol G and Bad Bunny are among the nominees for artist of the year at the Latin Billboard Awards, with Spanish singer Rosalía breaking into the race as well, picking up nominations in four categories thanks to her album 'Lux' and her single 'La Perla'.
Rosalía is nominated with 'Lux' in two categories that could crown it album of the year. Her name also appears elsewhere on the list, including a song of the year nomination for 'La Perla', a track featured on Cadena 100's playlist, a sign of how deeply the Spanish artist has broken into the Latin market.
The Latin Billboard Awards, known in Spanish as the Premios Billboard a la Música Latina, are handed out annually to recognise achievement in Latin music based on chart and streaming performance. Rosalía, a Spanish singer known for blending flamenco with pop and experimental sounds, has built a growing following across Latin America in recent years, most recently with the release of 'Lux'.
