The nominees for the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards have been announced. The nominees of the 21st Annual Latin Grammy Awards, the paramount international honour celebrating the excellence in Latin music, saw many artists receiving multiple nominations this year. Latin trap musicians such as J Balvin, Bad Bunny and Ozuna, who missed out in the top categories last year, have dominated the list this year.
Balvin has a whopping 13 nominations for this year’s Latin Grammys. These nominations include two for ‘Album of the year’ and two for ‘Record of the year’. This gives the singer a high chance (20% as the category has 10 nominations) to win his first ‘Album of the Year’ trophy. The two albums are Colores, his fifth solo album and Oasis, his collaborative project with Bad Bunny.
