The Latin Grammy nominations for 2026 are announced, with Mexican composer and producer Edgar Barrera leading the field with 10 nominations. Billboard and multiple outlets report that CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Jorge Drexler, Karol G, and Rosalía follow with seven nominations each.
Several outlets note that Barrera’s count is the highest overall, including nominations in producer and songwriter categories. The Los Angeles Times adds that Barrera may be positioned to set a new record for wins, though it does not specify a record number. Rolling Stone similarly highlights Barrera at the top and pairs him with the next tier of artists.
Other coverage also describes the broader field, citing additional nominees beyond the top leaders. Consequence lists artists such as Anitta, Carín León, Mon Laferte, and Rawayana among those receiving nominations ahead of the November ceremony, reflecting a wider distribution beyond the leading names.
