All the 2026 Premio Lo Nuestro Performances, Ranked

The 2026 Premio Lo Nuestro awards hit the Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla. on Thursday (Feb. 19) night, bringing out Latin superstars (Juanes, Romeo Santos), exciting up-and-comers (Yami Safdie, Santos Bravos) and some legends (Los Bukis, Paloma San Basilio).

Hosted by Thalia, Clarissa Molina, and Nadia Ferreira, this year’s Premio Lo Nuestro was packed with unforgettable moments. While awards were presented — most of them prior to the ceremony — the night was largely focused on showcasing incredible live acts.

This year, Bad Bunny and Carín León were the top winners, with six and five awards each, respectively. Artists such as Karol G, Maluma, and Yuridia also received multiple awards.

Five artists received special awards for their contributions to music and legacy: Arcángel was recognized with the Urban Icon Award; Juanes with the Lifetime Achievement Award; Los Bukis with the Musical Legacy Award; Manolo Díaz with the Visionary Award; and Paloma San Basilio with the Excellence Award.

‘Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’ Soundtrack Powers Up to Top 40 Debut on Billboard 200 Albums Chart

The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack scores big on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as the companion set to the hit role-playing video game debuts at No. 29 on the list dated Feb. 21. Since the Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular weekly basis in March of 1956, only three game soundtracks have reached the top 50 of the chart: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, BTS World (No. 26 in 2019) and Halo 4 (No. 50 in 2012).

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was released in April 2025 and went on to win game of the year at The Game Awards last December. It won a total of nine awards at the ceremony, the most wins for a game in a single night since the awards show launched in 2014. The game’s soundtrack was composed by Lorien Testard, features vocals from Alice Duport-Percier and was released via Sandfall Interactive/Laced Records.

The soundtrack was originally released in April 2025 as a 154-track complete edition via streaming services and for purchase as a digital download. Then, on Feb. 6, 2026, that complete edition arrived on CD (along with bonus tracks), as well as on vinyl (carrying a selection of tracks from the complete soundtrack). For tracking and charting purposes, the streaming, download and CD editions of the album are combined together, while the vinyl edition charts separately.

The No. 29 debut on the Billboard 200 is the vinyl edition of the album, which sold 24,000 copies — the single largest sales week for a game soundtrack on vinyl in the modern era (since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991). The vinyl edition of the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack also debuts on Classical Albums (No. 1), Classical Crossover Albums (No. 1), Soundtracks (No. 2), Vinyl Albums (No. 4), Top Album Sales (No. 5), Top Current Album Sales (No. 4) and Independent Albums (No. 6).

As for the separately-charting complete version of the soundtrack (the CD/download/streaming edition), it debuts on Top Album Sales (No. 18), Top Current Album Sales (No. 18) and Independent Albums (No. 44). It also holds at No. 2 on both Classical Albums (after previously spending 21 weeks at No. 1) and on Classical Crossover Albums (also having spent 21 weeks at No. 1). It also hits a new peak on the Soundtracks chart, climbing 21-7.

Arcángel, Juanes, Los Bukis, Paloma San Basilio & Manolo Díaz Make History as First Recipients of Special Premio Lo Nuestro Awards

Bad Bunny, Carín León and Karol G were the top winners of the Premio Lo Nuestro 2026. But they weren’t the only honorees who shone during the ceremony.

As announced in recent weeks, for the first time in its 38-year history, Premio Lo Nuestro presented five special awards on Thursday (Feb. 19) to honor great figures in Latin music whose contributions, vision, and legacy have transcended generations.

Colombian rocker Juanes — who on Wednesday confirmed his ambitious 50-plus-date Juanes World Tour 2026 — received the Premio Lo Nuestro Lifetime Achievement Award for having “built a career marked by authenticity, constant evolution, and a deep connection to his roots,” according to a press release.

Meanwhile, veteran Spanish singer Paloma San Basilio was recognized with the Premio Lo Nuestro Award for Excellence for a career spanning over 50 years, during which she “has left a profound mark on music, theater, and Ibero-American culture.”

Puerto Rican reggaeton star Arcángel received the Premio Lo Nuestro Urban Icon Award as “one of the key figures in the history and evolution of Latin urban music.”

The revered grupera band Los Bukis accepted the Premio Lo Nuestro Musical Legacy Award for a catalog that “has accompanied entire generations and forms an essential part of the emotional heritage of Latin music.”

And Spanish composer, performer and producer Manolo Díaz was feted with the Premio Lo Nuestro Visionary Award as a “key figure behind countless careers, songs, and moments that have marked the history of Latin music.”

Broadcast live from Miami on Univision, UNIMÁS, and Galavisión, and available for streaming on ViX in the U.S. and most Latin American countries, the 2026 Premio Lo Nuestro ceremony was hosted by Thalia, Clarissa Molina, and Nadia Ferreira and featured performances by superstars like Romeo Santos and Prince Royce, Thalia, Maria Becerra, and Cristian Castro.

Juanes, Arcángel and Paloma San Basilio also performed while accepting their special awards, and they all delivered heartfelt words of gratitude as the first recipients of these honors. Read parts of their speeches below.

Also in the top 10 on the latest Top Album Sales chart, the newest projects from J. Cole, Joji, Nick Jonas and Joe Bonamassa arrive, as does the soundtrack to the video game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.

J. Cole’s The Fall-Off debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales, while Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS gets a Super Bowl halftime boost, rising 11-3. Joji’s Piss in the Wind blows in at No. 4, while the vinyl release of the video game soundtrack to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 debuts at No. 5. Nick Jonas’ Sunday Best bows at No. 6, Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving shifts 6-7, ENHYPEN’s former No. 1 THE SIN : VANISH dips 4-8, Megadeth’s chart-topping self-titled set falls 3-9 and Joe Bonamassa’s B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100 starts at No. 10.

“Happy due date to the littlest Combs BOY!” the couple wrote on Instagram. “We’ve loved soaking up these last few weeks of newborn snuggles.”

In addition to the baby boy’s full name, the couple also shared three new photos: one of the now-five-member family — including Chet’s big brothers Tex (3 years old) and Beau (2) — followed by a close-up of Chet’s tiny hand held by Luke and Nicole’s hands and a final pic of Tex and Beau loving on their little bro.

Nicole shared the photo of she and Luke holding Chet’s hand with this sweet comment: “The little HAND. You really do forget how small they are.”

The Combses announced that they were expecting a third child back in September, sharing a video of Luke and Nicole surprising Tex and Beau with the news. The couple captioned the video with “Third time’s a charm! Baby #3 coming this winter.”

Luke and Nicole were married in 2020.

Combs is gearing up to release his sixth studio album next month, March 20’s The Way I Am. So far he’s released three songs from the project: “Back in the Saddle,” a No. 1 Country Airplay hit; “Days Like These,” a top 10 Country Airplay hit; and “Sleepless in a Hotel Room,” a top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on Hot Country Songs.
