The Latin Grammy Award for Best Pop/Rock Album is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes excellence and creates a wider awareness of cultural diversity and contributions of Latin recording artists in the United States and internationally. [1] It is one of the new categories added for the Latin Grammy Awards of 2012 [2]

Contents

The description of the category at the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards states that "a Pop/Rock album is one that stands out for combining Pop-related melodies/words with Rock elements or vice versa. The appeal of this genre lies in the addition of Pop melodies that, when combined with riffs typical of Rock, create a combination that is classified as Pop/Rock, but where the former predominates in terms of general themes." [3]

Somos by Jarabe de Palo was the first album to be nominated for this category and for Album of the Year. They have been followed by the albums Algo Sucede by Julieta Venegas, Mis Planes Son Amarte by Juanes, Cargar la Suerte by Andrés Calamaro, La Conquista del Espacio by Fito Paez and Vida Cotidiana by Juanes.

Colombian musician Juanes is the most awarded artist with four wins, all the times he's been nominated for.
