Her debut album, Belinda, catapulted her into the spotlight in 2003, earning her a first top 10 entry on a Billboard chart as the set reached a high of No. 6 on the Latin Pop Albums tally. Since then, she has cemented her presence with three additional top 10 albums, including the fan-favorite “Catarsis,” which peaked at No. 2 in 2013. Never one to shy away from experimentation, Belinda embraced her Mexican heritage by branching into Regional Mexican music, earning two entries on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart. Notably, in 2024, her collaboration with Natanael Cano, “300 Noches” reached the Billboard Global 200. This award celebrates her ongoing evolution as an artist who not only embraces change but also excels in it, inspiring those around her to do the same.
The dynamic and popular Latin pop duo Ha*Ash will receive the “Unbreakable Award,” celebrating the outstanding collaboration between Latin women artists who have made an indelible impact on the music industry. Honored for their resilience, innovation, and empowerment, Hanna and Ashley have transcended borders with their powerful vocals and poignant lyrics. Their music touches millions, and their unbreakable bond as sisters and artists showcases their unwavering determination. Ha*Ash made an impressive debut in 2004, scoring their first top 10 hit on Latin Pop Airplay with “Estés Donde Estés,” which peaked at No. 9. Over the years, they have proven their staying power, accumulating a total of 16 entries on the chart, four of which reached the top 10. Among these hits was the fan favorite “No Te Quiero Nada,” which climbed to No. 6 in 2008. After a seven-year hiatus, they recently made a notable comeback with “El Cielo Te Mandó Para Mí,” a standout track from their seventh studio album Haashville, which reached a No. 7 high on Latin Pop Airplay. Currently, the duo is on their hit tour, “Haashville,” across the U.S. and Canada. Their ability to empower women and inspire others makes them a perfect representation of strength, solidarity, and perseverance on the global music scene.
Dominican singer and trailblazing megastar, Natti Natasha, will be honored with the “Unstoppable Artist Award,” recognizing her sustained excellence and influence in the music industry. Natti Natasha has consistently dominated the Latin music charts with numerous hits, record-breaking achievements, and a growing global fan base. She initially burst onto the Billboard charts with a powerful debut, earning her first No. 1 in 2012 as a featured artist on Don Omar’s hit “Dutty Love.” Since then, Natti has amassed 34 career entries on the overall Latin Airplay ranking, including 17 top 10 hits, 10 of which soared to No. 1.
