• Pop/Ballad – Artist of the Year: Created to honor the artists that have brought Latin ballads back to popularity.
•  Urban/ Pop – Song of the Year | Urban/Trap – Song of the Year: The continuous growth and evolution of Urban Latin music has led to the creation of these two awards.
• Regional Mexican – Collaboration of the Year | Sierreña Song of the Year | Mariachi/Ranchera Song of the Year: These three awards have been created in order to recognize the evolution of Regional Mexican music. New collaborations are bringing together different artists from within the genre, the Sierreño sound has reached new markets, and Mariachi music continues to captivate the world with a new generation of artists.
