The Latin Recording Academy has announced its nominations for the 23rd Latin Grammy Awards, with top nominees spanning the globe from Puerto Rico to Texas to Spain.
Superstar MC Bad Bunny, whose album "Un Verano Sin Ti" has wrapped its 11th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, leads the field with 10 nominations, including album of the year, as well as record of the year for "Ojitos Lindos" with Bomba Estereo. Bad Bunny also is nominated for urban song, urban music album and reggaeton performance, among other genre categories. Although the Puerto Rican singer, rapper and, most recently, actor has previously won four Latin Grammys, he has yet to take home a Latin Grammy in the "general field" categories of album, song or record of the year.
Texas-born songwriter-producer Edgar Barrera scored nine nominations, including for record ("Pegao") and song ("Indigo") of the year, both collaborations with Colombian pop star Camilo. Barrera won the award for producer of the year in 2021.
