2007 Latin Billboard Awards


Reggaetón had a pretty slow year, and it showed at the 2007 Billboard Latin Music Awards, held April 26th at the BankUnited Center in Miami, with the main prizes going to Mexican acts. Among the big winners were pop group RBD (they snagged three awards: Top Latin Album Artist of the Year, Latin Pop Album of the Year by a Group or Duo, and Latin Tour of the Year) and regional Mexican singer Mariano Barba (who won 4 awards: Hot Latin Song of the Year for "Aliado del Tiempo," Regional Mexican Album of the Year (New Artist), Regional Mexican Airplay Song (New Artist), and Regional Mexican Airplay Song of the Year (Male Solo Artist)).

BUT, here are the awards that are pertinent to reggaetón:

Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year: Wisin y Yandel (for "Rakata" of all songs -- that joint came out maaad long ago, but hey...)

Reggaeton Album of the Year: "King of Kings" by Don Omar (sorry, but this was a lackluster album... who made this call?!)

Latin Ringtone of the Year: "Rakata" (okay, that WAS one veryone's doggone phone!)

Reggaeton Song of the Year:"'Down" by Rakim y Ken-Y (FINALLY!!! An award that was very, very merited)

Producer of the Year: Luny Tunes (Yeah, these cats made some hits... This is their second year in a row winning in this category, so kudos to them)

Latin Rhythms Albums Label of the Year: Machete (I don't even understand why this award exists... The Grammys don't have a "best label" category!!! And Machete pretty much has the market in a chokehold, so that's neither here nor there)

Latin Rhythm Airplay Label of the Year: Machete (see above comments!)

Latin Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year: "Toby Love" by Toby Love (Uhmmmm, since when is bachata hip-hop? WTF?)

So yes, an unexciting award ceremony, but there ypu have it folks...

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share this FDA warning about Reglan.

Since there is presently no known permanent cure for serious gastrointestinal distress, it
is not surprising that many patients seek out treatments to provide long-term relief.

According to package insert dosage instructions, Reglan was only intended to be taken
for up to three months. People who have taken this drug for longer than the three–month
prescribed period have sometimes developed a seriously debilitating condition known as
tardive dyskinesia.

Recently, the FDA has issued a public health warning to both patients
and physicians with the intention of avoiding additional instances of this devastating disorder.
No treatment is currently available to treat tardive dyskinesia symptoms. Many of these side
effects are irreversible and permanent.

For more information on Reglan and a list of tardive dyskinesia symptoms check out the
