Peso Pluma will enter the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards as the top finalist, earning a staggering 21 nods across 15 categories, including artist of the year and artist of the year, new.
The Mexican hitmaker, who has had an impressive year on the Billboard charts, is also up for Hot Latin Songs of the year, male, Top Latin Album of the year, Streaming Song of the year (with three nominations), songwriter of the year and more.
His feature with Eslabon Armado on “Ella Baila Sola” scores a total of six mentions in categories that include, Global 200 Latin song of the year, Sales song of the year, regional Mexican song of the year, and others. Both acts made history on the charts with their viral hit, including the Hot 100. It’s an insatiable combination of sad sierreño with corridos tumbados, a style that continues to gain momentum this year across many all-genre Billboard charts.
“La Bebe” also comes in with full force, a reggaetón track by Yng Lvcas featuring Peso Pluma.
“One day, someone reached out and said, ‘Peso Pluma is in Mexico, he wants to record, and he wants to start doing reggaetón’,” Yng Lvcas told Billboard Español in April. “Once we got to the studio, he said, ‘I’m interested in doing the remix of ‘La Bebé’ because I really like that song.’”
Peso Pluma’s third studio album Génesis enters the Top Latin Album of the year and regional Mexican album of the year categories. The album made history with a No. 3 debut on the Billboard 200, the highest ranking for a regional Mexican album on the chart.
