This year’s Latin Grammy Awards will take place next month, and the list of nominations is in. J Balvin is leading the way, and he’ll be competing for 13 awards on the Latin music’s biggest night.
The reggaeton superstar is in the running for the biggest award of the night—record of the year—with not one, but two songs: solo single “Rojo” and star-studded collaboration “China”, which also features Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, and Ozuna.
To make the whole thing even more impressive, J Balvin is also competing for the album award of the year with two separate LPs. He scored a nomination for his solo album Colores, but also got a nod for his collaborative album Oasis with Bad Bunny.
Bad Bunny is another one of the major nominees at the ceremony, but the list of artists with multiple nominations also includes Ozuna, Anuel AA, Josh Gudwin, and Colin Leonard. The 2020 Latin Grammy Awards will be held remotely on November 19st, with a live broadcast on Univision.
