Billboard Latin Music Award for Reggaeton Album of the Year

Honor that was presented annually at the Billboard Latin Music Awards

The Billboard Latin Music Award for Reggaeton Album of the Year was an honor presented annually at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, a ceremony that recognizes "the most popular albums, songs, and performers in Latin music, as determined by the actual sales, radio airplay, streaming and social data that shapes Billboard's weekly charts."[1] According to Billboard magazine, the category was "created in response to the growing number of charting titles from the genre" of reggaeton.[2] Reggaeton is a genre that has its roots in Latin and Caribbean music.[3] Its sound derived from the Reggae en Español in Panama.[4]
