Billboard has revealed its much-anticipated Year-End Charts that includes the Year-End Top Latin Albums list.
The top 10 sets represent regional Mexican music and reggaetón’s continued dominance. Ending strong as the top LP is Bad Bunny’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. The set — which was released October 2023 — spent one week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Bunny’s third leader on that tally, and 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart.
In the top five are also albums like Peso Pluma’s Génesis, which made history last year when it debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, becoming the highest ranking for a Mexican music album on the tally. And Junior H’s $ad Boyz 4 Life II, which peaked at No. 2 on the Top Latin Albums chart.
Other albums that appear high up on the list include Grupo Frontera’s El Comienzo, Fuerza Regida’s Pa Las Baby’s y Belikeada and Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season). Learn more about the top 10 reigning sets below.
Billboard’s year-end music recaps represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts from Oct. 28, 2023 to October 19, 2024. Rankings for Luminate-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the titles appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology detail, and the October-October time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.
