The 2022 Billboard Latin Music Awards ceremony is here. As is tradition, Latin superstars strutted down the red carpet before entering the Watsco Center for the annual awards show that took place on Thursday (Sept. 29) in Miami. The 29th annual Billboard Latin Music Awards will broadcast live on Telemundo and simultaneously on the Spanish entertainment cable network Universo and throughout Latin America and the Caribbean on Telemundo Internacional. Bad Bunny is up for artist of the year, tour of the year, Hot Latin Songs artist of the year, male, and top Latin album of the year for his chart-topping album Un Verano Sin Ti, which is back at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart this week for an eighth nonconsecutive frame on top. Following Bad Bunny is Colombian star Karol G with 15 entries in 11 categories, a record number of nods for a female artist. (The old record was held jointly by Jenni Rivera, who had 12 nods in 2014, and Shakira, who had 12 in 2018.) Karol Gs categories include artist of the year and Hot Latin Songs artist of the year, female, as well as Hot Latin Song of the year, vocal event, for her Becky G collab MAMIII. This year, awards will be given out in 58 categories throughout the Latin pop, tropical, Latin rhythm and regional Mexican music genres. The event is the only awards show to honor the most popular albums, songs and performers in Latin music as determined by Billboards weekly charts. The awards produced by MBS Special Events and executive produced by Mary Black Suarez coincide with Billboard Latin Music Week, which returned to Miami from Sept. 26 to Oct. 1 at the Faena Forum, with a roster of star speakers that included Romeo Santos, Maluma, Grupo Firme, Chayanne, Ivy Queen and Nicky Jam, among many others.
