Bad Bunny and the Regional Mexican Revolution on the 2025 Latin Charts

The highly anticipated Billboard 2025 year-end charts are officially being unveiled! The complete rankings for the 2025 tracking year (October 26, 2024, through October 18, 2025) will be posted on December 9, but Billboard has given fans an exciting sneak peek at the top 10 lists for both the Top Latin Albums and Hot Latin Songs charts. You can tune into the Billboard 2025 No. 1s Livestream on Tuesday, hosted by Druski, to celebrate the year’s biggest hits (noon ET/9 a.m. PT on the Billboard News YouTube channel and BillboardTV on Samsung TV Plus).

Bad Bunny’s Unwavering Dominance

While the overall picture reflects a dynamic, diversifying genre, the top slots belong to one artist: Bad Bunny. The superstar once again asserted his status as the premier Latin artist of the year, securing No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums list with his record DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS and reigning over the Hot Latin Songs chart with his massive single, “DtMF.” The album’s enduring success throughout the tracking period, as measured by Luminate data, solidifies his unparalleled commercial appeal. His ability to fuse Reggaetón and Latin Trap with elements of salsa and plena continues to captivate global audiences.

The Rise of Regional Mexican Heavyweights

The most significant story beyond the top spot is the undeniable ascendance of Regional Mexican music. Artists from this genre are no longer just successful; they are dominating key positions on the year-end charts. The Top Latin Albums list saw impressive entries from stars like Tito Double P with INCÓMODO and multiple appearances by Fuerza Regida and Peso Pluma.

Similarly, the Hot Latin Songs chart is packed with Regional Mexican talent. Hits by Netón Vega, collaborations between Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera, and tracks featuring Óscar Maydon prove that this genre is driving the conversation. Even as Bad Bunny secured six of the top 10 songs, the remaining chart placements strongly signal that artists like Junior H and Peso Pluma are central to Latin music’s global appeal and future.

A Comprehensive View of Latin Music’s Success

The 2025 year-end charts confirm that Latin music is a powerful and diverse global force. From Bad Bunny’s Reggaetón fusion to the massive successes of Regional Mexican stars and the presence of artists like Rauw Alejandro, the top 10 rankings offer a comprehensive snapshot of the genre’s vitality.
