The Year in Charts: Here Are Billboard’s Top 5 New Latin Artists of 2024

Billboard has revealed its much-anticipated Year-End Charts, which includes Top New Latin Artists. While Bad Bunny, once again, finished off the year as Billboard’s Top Latin Artist, five breakthrough artists also made strong waves.

With his raw spirit of corridos tumbados and tender romanticism, Mexican-American artist, Xavi, tops the Year-End Top Latin Artist – New chart. His single “La Diabla” not only earned him his first No. 1 on a Billboard chart, but it also became the first champ of the year — crowing Hot Latin Songs for 14 consecutive weeks. Xavi’s success on the charts also made him the new artist of the year winner at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Tito Double P, another promising Música Mexicana newcomer closes the year at No. 2. The artist born Roberto Laija kicked off his career as Peso Pluma’s main songwriter, and this year, his debut album Incómodo bowed at No. 2 on the Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts, and No. 20 on the all-genre Billboard 200.

Furthermore, Cris MJ, Oscar Maydon, and Floyymenor appear on the year-end “Top Latin Artist – New” chart. Learn more about the artists below: 

Billboard’s year-end music recaps represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts from Oct. 28, 2023 to October 19, 2024. Rankings for Luminate-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the titles appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology detail, and the October-October time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.
