Earlier this month, Billboard Latin and Billboard Español published a list of the 25 best Latin albums of 2023, which encompasses the sets that impressed us the most, including León Larregui’s Technicolor electro-rock odyssey PRISMARAMA, DannyLux’s eclectic set DLux and Tainy’s neon-hued experimental outing DATA.
Also on the list are history-making albums such as Karol G‘s Mañana Será Bonito, the first Spanish-language album by a female artist to top the Billboard 200, and Peso Pluma’s Génesis, which made history when it debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 — the highest ranking for a regional Mexican album. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny scored his third No. 1 album on the aforementioned tally with Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, powered by hard-hitting trap beats.
Other albums on the list include Eslabon Armado‘s Desvelado, home to the global smash hit “Ella Baila Sola” with Peso Pluma, which scored the Mexican-American group their sixth No. 1 album on the Regional Mexican Albums chart. Plus, there’s Grupo Frontera‘s debut LP El Comienzo, which features team-ups with Bad Bunny (“un x100to”), Junior H (“Alta Voz”), Grupo Firme (“El Amor de Su Vida”), Carin León (“Que Vuelvas”) and Yahritza y Su Esencia (“Las Flores”).
Additionally, there’s Sofía Reyes’ dreamy and colorful Milamores, Becky G‘s Esquinas, her first música Mexicana album, Juanes‘ Grammy-nominated Vida Cotidiana, his first studio album with completely original music in four years, and Natanael Cano‘s corridos tumbados tour de force Nata Montana.
Below, vote for your favorite Latin album of 2023.
