  "account": "On September 16th, the nominations for the 2026 Latin Grammy Awards were revealed, with Edgar Barrera leading the pack with 10 nominations in various categories including album of the year, record of the year, song of the year, songwriter and producer of the year. Following closely behind with 7 nominations each are CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Jorge Drexler, Karol G, and Rosalía. Silvana Estrada and Mon Laferte received 6 nominations each. These artists are all in the running for album of the year along with Anitta, Carín León, Milo J, and Rawayana.\n\nWhile many of the nominations were expected by Billboard, who correctly predicted the inclusion of CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Carín León, Rawayana, and Rosalía in album of the year, there were still notable omissions and surprising absences. Notably, Romeo Santos & Prince Royce's album Better Late Than Never, which debuted at #1 and #2 on Billboard's Tropical Albums and Top Latin Albums, did not receive any nominations. Additionally, Maluma's Loco X Volver, a heartfelt tribute to Colombia blending salsa, vallenato, música popular, and acoustic pop, alongside collaborations with Beéle, Ryan Castro, Kany García, and Grupo Frontera, also missed out on recognition.",
