Billboard Latino has revealed the finalists to the 2016 Billboard Latin Music Awards. The nominees were announced Wednesday morning at a press event hosted by Telemundo.
Stars such as Chiquis Rivera, Kimberly Dos Ramos and Nicky Jam took part of the exclusive event that was aired live on "Un Nuevo Dia." Leading the pack is Romeo Santos, with the Puerto Rican urban star following at 11 nods. Other finalists include Ricky Martin and J Balvin. The late Selena Quintanilla is also a finalist at the 2016 awards show.
"You make the awards," said Leila Cobo, executive director of Latin content and programming for Billboard. "The awards are based on the charts, in what the audience consumes. The Billboard charts are the most recent that exist in the planet," she added.
Billboard Latin Music Awards, hosted by Pedro Fernandez and Gaby Espino, will air at 7 p.m. ET on April 28 via Telemundo. Check out the complete nominations below.
