Billboard Latin Music Week 2026: Conoce a los oradores con éxitos No. 1

The annual Billboard Latin Music Week is set to convene from October 19 to 22, 2026, at Miami Beach’s Faena Forum, continuing its tradition as the longest-running global forum for Latin music industry leaders and artists. This year’s event assembles over 40 artists who have each secured at least one No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Latin charts, offering attendees an insider’s view into the mechanisms behind chart-topping hits.

Spanning four days, the program features a diverse array of activities including moderated panels, candid conversations, live performances, roundtable discussions, and multiple networking opportunities. These sessions aim to deepen understanding of the evolving dynamics of Latin music consumption, encompassing streaming, sales, radio airplay, and touring, as measured by Billboard and data partner Luminate.

The culmination of the week’s festivities is the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards ceremony on October 22. This event, broadcast live on Telemundo and available for streaming on platforms such as Telemundo’s app, Peacock, and Telemundo Internacional, honors artists whose work has made significant impacts on the charts between September 13, 2025, and September 5, 2026.

Among the featured artists is Puerto Rican singer Anuel AA, who has amassed 131 entries on the Hot Latin Songs chart over a decade, second only to Bad Bunny’s record of 191 entries. Anuel’s collaboration “China,” with a lineup including Daddy Yankee and J Balvin, stands out for dominating the chart for 14 weeks in 2019.

Newer chart leaders such as Colombian artist Aria Vega have also risen to prominence, with her track “Chévere” reaching No. 1 on Latin Airplay in September 2025. Similarly, the California-based trio that debuted in 2024 claimed the top spot on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart with “TU, TU, TU” and later with “Ferrari,” reflecting the genre’s growing influence.

Veteran acts such as Baby Rasta & Gringo, active on Billboard charts since 1997, continue to make their mark, achieving their first No. 1 on Top Latin Rhythm Albums in 2015. Meanwhile, Becky G has maintained consistent success since 2014, highlighted by several No. 1 hits including “Mayores” and “Mamiii,” the latter holding the top Latin Airplay position for three weeks in 2022.

Regional Mexican music receives notable representation from artists like Duelo, with a career spanning over 14 years and multiple chart-topping albums, and Edgardo Nuñez, who notched his first No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay in 2024. Fuerza Regida’s 2019 album held the longest reign for a group in the Top Regional Mexican Albums chart, underscoring the genre’s market strength.

Pop and fusion genres are represented by Greeicy’s 2026 hit “YAPAQUE,” which topped both Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts, and Grupo Cañaveral de Humberto Pabón, who reached No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay with “Qué bello.” Jay Wheeler’s “De lejitos” achieved notable radio success, dominating Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay for multiple weeks.

Other highlighted artists include Jessi Uribe, Kany García, Los Dos de Tamaulipas, salsa veteran Tito Nieves, and emerging stars like RaiNao and the Spanish rapper Quevedo. Their achievements reflect a broad spectrum of Latin music styles thriving on Billboard’s platforms.
