Pandora, the favorite streaming service among Latin Music fans in the U.S., revealed today two of its most anticipated Latin Music lists -- Pandora Top Spinning Latin Artists 2018and Latin Artists to Watch 2019.
Regarding the Latin artists with the most spins this year, the Latin urban movement continued its dominance in 2018, with artists like Ozuna, J Balvin, Daddy Yankee and Nicky Jam leading the way. Reik, Luis Fonsi, Camila Cabello, Becky Gand Natti Natasha embraced dembow, while mainstream artists like Drake and Cardi B collaborated with Latin counterparts, continuing to blur the line between pop and Latin.
