The nominees for the 2020 Latin GRAMMY Awards were officially announced on Tuesday and J Balvin is the most nominated artist with 13. Bad Bunny received nine nominations, followed by Ozuna with eight. Anuel AA, Josh Gudwin and Colin Leonard tie at seven. This puts reggaeton front and center at this year’s award show. 

Last year, the Latin Recording Academy received heavy criticism over lack of reggaeton and urban artists nominated in main categories like Album of the Year. Since then measures have been put in place to improve the selection process. 

“Over the last year, we continued engaging in discussions with our members to improve the awards process and actively encouraged diverse Latin music creators to join and participate. Today, we are proud to unveil the nominees for the 21st Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards — a group that reflects the constant evolution of Latin music,” Gabriel Abaroa Jr., President and CEO of the Latin Recording Academy, said in a statement to ET. “Our Academy is stronger than ever as members are engaged, better informed, and committed to elevating and honoring musical excellence across all genres of Latin music. This year’s class of nominees is the result of a resilient and genuine awards process.”

This year’s Album of the Year category is composed of a diverse group of artists, including: Bad Bunny (YHLQMDLG), Camilo (Por Primera Vez), Kany García (Mesa Para Dos), J Balvin (Colores), J Balvin & Bad Bunny (Oasis), Jesse & Joy Aire (Versión Día), Natalia Lafourcade (Un Canto Por México, Vol. 1), Ricky Martin (Pausa), Fito Páez (La Conquista del Espacio), and Carlos Vives (Cumbiana). 

Winners will be revealed on Nov. 19 during a live telecast on Univision at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The show will be hosted from Miami with uplifting virtual performances from multiple cities around the world.
