It’s celebration week for Latin music fans. This Thursday, October 23, the Billboard Latin Music Awards return — an annual event organized by Billboard magazine to honor artists whose songs and albums have dominated the charts throughout the year.
Unlike other award shows decided by judges or fan votes, the Billboard Awards are purely data-driven. Winners are chosen based on sales, streams, downloads, and radio airplay, making these trophies a true reflection of commercial success and audience impact.
The most awarded Latin album in Billboard history
Given that Billboard winners are determined by hard data, one question always comes up: Which Latin album has earned the most awards in history?
The answer is clear — Bad Bunny’s “YHLQMDLG.”
In 2021, the Puerto Rican superstar — now preparing to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show — made history by taking home 10 Billboard Latin Music Awards, including the coveted Artist of the Year. That milestone cemented his place as one of the most influential figures in global music.

Bad Bunny’s ongoing reign
Two years later, in 2023, Bad Bunny did it again. He added seven more Billboard Awards, including Global 200 Latin Artist of the Year, further proving that his dominance was no fluke.
With every release, he continues to break boundaries for Latin artists worldwide — blending reggaeton, trap, and pop into a global sound that resonates from San Juan to Los Angeles.
