BMI Affiliates Take Majority of Billboard Latin Music Awards Nods
Last year, the Billboard Latin Music Awards proved to be an incredible evening for the BMI Latin roster, with reggaeton star Don Omar taking home 10 awards and BMI affiliates winning 77% of the 2013 accolades. With 54% of this year’s nominations and at least one nominee in every category, it seems that BMI’s Latin family is set to do very well once again in 2014. The show is slated for April 24 and will be televised on Telemundo.
To break it down, singer-songwriter sensation Prince Royce is up for 16 awards, including Artist of the Year, Hot Latin Song of the Year, and Airplay, Digital and Streaming Song of the Year for his mega-hit “Darte Un Beso.” The late, great singer Jenni Rivera also received the Artist of the Year nod, as well as most of the Pop nominations for a total of 11. Newcomers Codigo FN and Luis Coronel are both up for New Artist of the Year, and the 2014 BMI Icons Banda El Recodo also received two nominations.
Here’s a complete list of BMI nominees. Congratulations to all and best of luck in April!
