Premios Tu Música Urbano will “honor the growing urban movement that is dominating around the world and which has extended its reach thanks to fusions with other genres such as pop, tropical and Mexican regional,” according to a press release.
The 34 categories include album of the year; album of the year, male artist; album of the year, female artist; song of the year; collaboration of the year; top social artist; and video of the year. The winners will be based on fan votes.
The list of nominees, which was unveiled in May, includes Bad Bunny, who leads with 12 nominations, followed by Rauw Alejandro, who scored 11 nods, and J Balvin with 10 nominations. All three are up for artist of the year alongside Farruko, Karol G, Maluma and Sebastián Yatra. See the complete list of nominees here.
