Premios Juventud arrived in Europe with a historic first edition in Marbella, but there was no single artist to claim the night. Aitana, Alejandro Fernández, Prince Royce, Romeo Santos and Shakira each won three trophies, creating a five-way tie that reflected the show's cross-generational, cross-genre ambitions. Surprisingly, or maybe not so much, none of them were there to pick up their awards.
Aitana's home-country victory lap included Best Euro-Song for 'Superestrella,' Best Pop Album for Cuarto Azul and Couple Goals with Plex. Alejandro Fernández won My Favorite Track for 'Me Está Doliendo' with Carín León, Best Pop/Ballad Song for 'Sin Despedida' with Carlos Rivera, and Best Mexican Banda Music Song for 'El Rey,' his collaboration with his late father Vicente Fernández. Prince Royce and Romeo Santos swept the tropical categories together with 'Dardos,' 'Lokita por Mí' and their album Better Late Than Never, while Shakira took Female Premios Juventud Artist, Best Pop Song for 'Bésame' with Alejandro Sanz and OMG Collaboration for 'Dai Dai' with Burna Boy.
