In a dazzling display of chart dominance, Bad Bunny secures his fifth consecutive year at the pinnacle of the coveted Top Latin Artists survey, as Billboard revealed in its 2023 Year-End charts on Tuesday (Nov. 21). Bunny’s achievement solidifies him as the only artist to claim the year-end Top Latin Artist title five times since the category’s inception in 2011.
Peso Pluma — unequivocally, the breakout artist of 2023 — is spearheading the regional Mexican music movement to global acclaim, and comes in at No. 2 on the list. In a historic moment, Pluma’s album, Génesis, debuted at an unprecedented No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200 in July, marking a groundbreaking achievement as the highest-charting regional Mexican album in Billboard history.
In the female Latin artists space, Karol G maintains her stronghold, securing her position as the sole woman to feature in the top 10 ranking, concluding the year at No. 3 — Shakira follows at No. 14, Rosalía at No. 17, Becky G at No. 31, and Kali Uchis at No. 32. Additionally, the Colombian hitmaker clinches this remarkable feat for the fifth consecutive year.

Billboard’s year-end music recaps represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts from Nov. 19, 2022, through Oct. 21, 2023. 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 November-October time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.
