Latin American Music Awards 2023: Karol G Wins Big as Artist of the Year (Complete Winners List)

Karol G’s winning streak at the Latin American Music Awards continues for the second year in a row as the Colombian star won in eight categories including artist of the year. Though Karol wasn’t in Las Vegas to collect her Latin AMA in person, her collaborator — and the second biggest winner of the evening — Becky G accepted their joint wins for “Mamiii” as the song of the year, collaboration of the year, and best pop/urban collaboration.

Throughout the night, artists either premiered new music or gave the first televised taste of a new song including Wisin and Anuel AA who debuted their track “Mi Exxx,” while Peso Pluma and Becky G gave the first televised performance of their corrido “Chanel.”

Música Mexicana left a big impression on the show with rising act Grupo Frontera taking the stage alongside Carin León who was also present in a tribute medley honoring the Legacy award recipient Pepe Aguilar with Banda El Recodo and Rubén Blades.

Elsewhere, the Weeknd won for best crossover artist and best crossover collaboration of the year for his and Rosalía’s melodious bachata “La Fama.” Bad Bunny, who was not in attendance, won the award for best album of the year for his chart-topping “Un Verano Sin Ti,” and Bizarrap was crowned new artist of the year.

Nominations for this awards show are based on streaming, sales, radio airplay, tours and data provided by Billboard and Luminate during the eligibility period (February 12, 2022, through February 4, 2023.) There are 26 diverse categories at the Latin AMAs including nine general categories, five regional Mexican, and four categories focused on pop, urban, and tropical each.
