Rosalía Wins Latin Grammy Album of the Year for a Third Time With 'Lux'

The Spanish artist took five awards at the 27th Latin Grammys in Las Vegas, including album and song of the year, while Argentina's Milo J won record of the year for 'Niño'.

Rosalía was the dominant figure at the 27th Latin Grammy Awards, held on 12 November 2026 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, where she won album of the year for "Lux". According to NME, she became the first woman to win the category three times as a lead artist, after earlier victories for "El Mal Querer" in 2019 and "Motomami" in 2022. Euronews reported that she collected five of the seven awards for which she was nominated: besides album of the year, "La Perla", her collaboration with Yahritza y Su Esencia, won song of the year and best pop song, "Lux" was named best alternative music album, and "Sauvignon Blanc" took best short form music video.

Accepting the top prize from Juanes, who supported her early in her career according to NME, the Catalan singer described her three winning albums as a dream, a gamble and, in the case of "Lux", a leap into the void, adding that the record was her own truth. She had opened the ceremony with a medley of three songs from the album: "La Rumba del Perdón", "La Perla" and "Dios Es un Stalker". Released in November 2025, "Lux" is her fourth studio album and includes songs performed in 13 languages, blending flamenco, classical and orchestral elements with experimental pop. The win puts her level with Alejandro Sanz and Juanes on three album of the year awards, behind only Juan Luis Guerra with four.

Argentine artists also had a strong night. Milo J won record of the year for "Niño", and the duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso were among the other Argentine winners, Euronews reported. The ceremony honoured Daddy Yankee as Person of the Year and paid tribute to the late salsa great Willie Colón. Uruguayan singer-songwriter Jorge Drexler won three awards, Karol G took best urban album and best reggaeton performance, and Alejandro Sanz added best contemporary pop album to his record. Attention now turns to the nominations for the 69th Grammy Awards, due soon from the US Recording Academy, where "Lux" could feature again.
