Leading the list of finalists once again is singer, songwriter and producer Romeo Santos with 12 entries. The “King of Bachata” has been on the road since 2014 with a top-grossing tour that has traveled throughout North and South America.

Among this year’s categories are Artist of the Year; Tour of the Year; Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year, Male; Producer of the Year; Songwriter of the Year; Tropical Songs Artist of the Year, Solo; Tropical Albums Artist of the Year, Solo; and Social Artist of the Year. With more than 954 million YouTube views it’s no surprise his hit song “Propuesta Indecente” is up for Hot Latin Song of the Year. YouTube recently released statistics stating that Romeo Santos tops mainstream artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé in overall video views on its platform with more than four billion streams. His song “Yo También,” featuring Marc Anthony, will compete for Tropical Song of the Year, while “Hilito” is a finalist for Airplay Song of the Year and Tropical Song of the Year.
Enrique Iglesias, a 19-time finalist, who last year took home nine awards, including Latin pop album and Latin pop song of the year, is not slowing down with 11 entries this year including Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year, Male; Latin Pop Songs Artist of the Year, Solo; and Social Artist of the Year.

Enrique Iglesias will also have to face off with his duet partner Nicky Jam for the Artist of the Year award. His 2015 wildly successful tour with Pitbull was once again a finalist forTour of the Year.
After a stellar 2015, Latin urban sensation Nicky Jam ties for second-most nods, vying for 11 awards including Artist of the Year; Latin Rhythm Songs Artist of the Year, Solo; and Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year, Male.

Nicky Jam is also a finalist for his collaboration on the song “Sunset” with Farruko and Shaggy. The artist is also up against Romeo Santos forSongwriter of the Year.
Colombian urban artist J Balvin, who started off the year with a stirring performance at Calibash 2016 in Los Angeles joined by special guest Justin Bieber, once again topped the music charts with songs like “Ay Vamos” and “Ginza,” his biggest hit to date. This year’s count makes him a finalist in eight award categories including Hot Latin Song of the Year; Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year, Male; Airplay Song of the Year; Digital Song of the Year; Digital Song of the Year; Streaming Song of the Year; Latin Rhythm Song of the Year; and Latin Rhythm Songs Artist of the Year, Solo.
