There’s actually no denying at this level, that Bad Bunny’s “A summer without you” was 2022’s greatest album of the yr. Not solely did it make Billboard’s number-one spot for 13 consecutive weekshowever it was additionally streamed 4.6 billion times in just the U.S. The record-breaking album moved the equivalent of 273,000 units in streams and downloads with two singles breaking one billion streams: “Tití Me Pregunto” with 1.4 billion and “Me Porto Bonito” with 1.5. “Un Verano Sin Ti” has made historical past and but it continues to get snubbed an Album of the Yr award. However tonight, on the 2023 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards broadcasting reside through Univision, “El Conejo Malo” lastly obtained the honour of being awarded the Álbum Del Año (Album of The Yr) award and it is about freaking time!
Whereas Dangerous Bunny has obtained reward and awards for “Un Verano Sin Ti,” it is at all times been within the musica urbana class. For much too lengthy we have now seen rappers, reggaetoneros, and different city artists of coloration solely obtain excessive awards particularly in city music classes, as if their work wasn’t adequate for Artist of the Yr or Album of the Yr awards. Eventually yr’s Latin Grammy Awards Dangerous Bunny misplaced the Album of the Yr award to Rosalía for her 2022 album “MOTOMAMI” and Harry Styles took home the Album of the Year award at this yr’s Grammys for “Harry’s Home.”
However in contrast to the Grammys and Latin Grammys, Premio Lo Nuestro are fan-voted awards and it looks like Benito’s loyal followers got here by. Sebastían Yatra who had essentially the most nominations for the night time — 10 nods —took dwelling 4 awards together with Pop-Male Artist of the Yr, Pop -Tune of the Yr, Pop/Ballad -Tune of the Yr, and Pop-Album of the Yr.
Along with Album of the Yr, Dangerous Bunny additionally took dwelling the awards for City-Album of The Yr and City-Collaborator of the Yr. He was not in attendance at this yr’s Premio Lo Nuestro to obtain his awards.
In spite of everything these award present nubs, most of the Puerto Rican artist’s supporters had come to the conclusion that taking a look at award exhibits for validation and vindication is senseless. However seeing Dangerous Bunny take dwelling a Premio Lo Nuestro award for Album of the Yr and never simply City Album of the Yr proves that the folks have spoken.
