Balvin started the hashtag #SinReggaetónNoHayGrammyLatino’ (There is no Latin Grammy without Reggaeton) which was soon endorsed by other reggaeton artists such as Daddy Yankee, Becky G, Maite Perroni, Lali Esposito, Tini, Karol G, Natti Natasha, and Anuel AA.

Albums of previously released recordings, such as reissues, compilations of old recordings and greatest hits albums packages are not eligible. Due to the increasing musical changes in the industry, from 2012 the category includes 10 nominees, according to a restructuration made by the academy for the four general categories: Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best New Artist and Album of the Year.
