The “Billboard Latin Music Awards” will honor and award the 2020 Billboard Latin Song of the Decade during its award show Wednesday, October 21. The fortunate honorees and deserving are the Puerto Rican international renowned artists Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee for their worldwide hit “Despacito.”
The success of “Despacito” set the chart topping longevity mark on Hot Latin Songs when it spent 42 weeks at No. 1 on the February 17, 2018 dated tally, surpassing the 41-week reign of Enrique Iglesias' “Bailando,” with Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona, in 2014 to 2015. “Despacito” topped Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart for a record 56 (non-consecutive) weeks, the most weeks at No. 1 for any title since the chart’s inception in 1986. In May 2017, “Despacito” also made history at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart - which includes songs of all genres - tying the then all time mark for 16 weeks at No. 1 set by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s with “One Sweet Day” in 1996.
Luis Fonsi, a finalist for four awards, including Latin Pop Artist of the Year, Solo, and Top Latin Album of the Year for “Vida,” just released his new single “Perfecta” with fellow compatriot Farruko. While Daddy Yankee, a finalist for 12 awards this year including Hot Latin Song of the Year for “Con Calma,” arrives at the awards after signing a multimillion-dollar deal with Universal Music Group and releasing his new song “Don Don,” featuring Anuel AA and Kendo Kaponi. Not only are the two Puerto Rican stars due the honors, in addition, they will be performing.
Therefore, don't miss the 2020 live broadcast on Telemundo Wednesday, October 21 starting at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT with the red carpet pre-show followed by the award show at 8 p.m./7 p.m. The “Billboard Latin Music Awards” will also broadcast simultaneously on Spanish entertainment cable network, Universo and throughout the Americas on Telemundo Internacional.
On another note, the “Billboard Latin Music Awards” coincides with Billboard’s Latin Music Week, a three-day virtual experience dedicated to Latin music, culture, and entertainment.
