Predictions: Who’s Winning Big?
Based on numbers, success, and global impact, here’s who we think will walk away with the top awards:
- Artista Premio Lo Nuestro del Año (Artist of the Year): Shakira
Why? 2024 was Shakira’s comeback year, and she did not disappoint. She won the Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album with Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. She’s currently on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, selling out stadiums across the globe. With hit after hit and 30 years of dominating the music industry, this award is hers to take.

- Song of the Year: Karol G – “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido”
Why? Karol G has been breaking records left and right. Her Mañana Será Bonito Tour was one of the highest-grossing tours by a Latin artist ever. She was the top-awarded Latin artist of 2024. She was also the most-streamed Latin female artist on Spotify worldwide in 2024. “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” has 997,737,014 streams on Spotify (and counting). It’s safe to say she’s unstoppable.

- Album of the Year: Bad Bunny – Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana
Why? Love him or hate him, Bad Bunny is at the top of his game. He’s gearing up for a massive residency in Puerto Rico, and we already know it’s going to be legendary. He was the third most-streamed artist globally on Spotify in 2024 (and the #1 Latin artist). Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana has 5,024,531,229 streams on Spotify. That’s not just success. That’s next-level dominance.
