The Latin Recording Academy announced the nominees for the 2022 Latin Grammy Awards today (September 20). Bad Bunny leads the nominees with 10 nods for Un Verano Sin Ti: He’s up for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Urban/Fusion Performance, Best Reggaeton Performance, and Best Urban Music Album.
In the Best Alternative Music Album category, Arca got recognized for KICK ii. She’s nominated alongside Bomba Estéreo (Deja), Rosalía (Motmomami), and more. The ceremony happens in Las Vegas on Thursday, November 17. See the full list of nominees here.
Upon its arrival in mid-May, Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti was the biggest No. 1 debut of 2022. Kendrick Lamar unseated it with Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers the following week, but Un Verano Sin Ti returned to the top slot later in the summer.
