Barrera leads this year’s nominations with 10 nods, including categories for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year.

Several performers are also competing for major awards. Milo J holds multiple nominations, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year, while Colombian artist Karol G leads her country's contingent with seven nominations. Puerto Rican salsa singer Luis Figueroa is set to perform and is nominated for Best Salsa Album for his work, ‘El Relevo’.
