Peso Pluma, Edgar Barrera and more surprises and/or snubs from the Latin Grammys nominations announced on Tuesday (Sept. 19).
But just as there were big surprises, there were striking snubs.

Peso, who’s had a breakout 2023 — entering 21 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 this year alone — is not up for any awards himself.
Grupo Frontera was also a sure bet for the best new artist category but the Mexican-American group did not make the cut. Both Peso and Frontera are up for artist of the year and artist of the year, new at the Billboard Latin Music Awards.are set to take place for the first time outside the U.S., in Seville, Spain, on Nov. 16.
Producer-songwriter Edgar Barrera is this year’s most nominated artist with 13 nods across pop, urban and regional Mexican categories. He also scored nominations for songwriter of the year and producer of the year. In 2021, he won producer of the year.

Last year, Bad Bunny was the lead nominee with 10, with Barrera coming in second for his nine nods.

In January 2021, he scored No. 1s on each of the four Latin genre charts:
