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...
