If anyone is killing it at the moment its reggaeton artist Ozuna, and at the 2019 Billboard Latin Music Awards the singer picked up a record-breaking 11 awards, the most anyone has ever won in one year.
As well as taking home the top artist of the year prize, Ozuna also received awards for hot Latin songs artist of the year (male), top Latin albums artist of the year (male) and Latin rhythm artist of the year.
Te Boté, the breakout group track also featuring Bad Bunny, Casper Mágico, Nio García, Darell and Nicky Jam won song of the year and streaming song of the year, while the 27-year-old star’s debut album, Odisea, won album of the year.
Ozuna wasn’t there to just pick up his awards though, as he also took to the stage to perform his biggest hits, Taki Taki, Baila, Baila, Baila and Te Robaré alongside fellow nominees Daddy Yankee and DJ Snake.
Cardi B, who appears on DJ Snake’s Taki Taki with Selena Gomez and Ozuna, won crossover artist of the year but wasn’t at the event to pick up her award.
Bad Bunny also won big at the Latin Music Awards, taking home a total of four awards but was just pipped to the post to become the second most successful artist of the night by Nicky Jam who won five.
As well as breaking records, Ozuna was recently named as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2019 and was praised by Latin music legend Daddy Yankee.
‘He shows kids that anything is possible – that you can become a global star if you work hard enough,’ wrote the 42-year-old singer.
‘He is a great competitor, a good friend, and he never hesitates to give back to his community. And even though he has broken records, he has the spirit to be bigger.’
