Pandora Listeners Dish Billboard Latin Music Awards 2015 Winner Predictions: Will Enrique Iglesias' 'Bailando' Nab Billboard Latin Song of the Year? (VIDEO)
With the 2015 Billboard Latin Music Awards fast approaching, fans have been tuning into Pandora to check out the latest music that will be featured on the hugely popular, Latino-celebrated awards show.
According to Pandora, its listeners predict that multi-Latin Grammy winner Enrique Iglesias' hit song, "Bailando," featuring Sean Paul, Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona, will win 2015 Billboard Latin Song of the Year.
Iglesias has been on tour with Pitbull, which also included Colombian star J Balvin as the opening act.
Another Pandora prediction indicates that Romeo Santos, who will perform, will win 2015 Billboard Latin Artist of the Year.
"Santos, who made history last year when he played back to back shows at Yankee Stadium, leads with 21 entries in 16 categories, a record in the history of the awards," Billboard reports. "Iglesias follows closely with 19 entries in 15 categories. Both acts broke the previous record of most finalist nods for a single year, held by Tito El Bambino and Don Omar, who both garnered 18 nods in 2010 and 2013, respectively."
Overall, the two talented artists, who have the most nominations, were "the most thumbed up on the platform (Pandora) this year."
"Pandora has more than 81 million active users (and 19 million Hispanic users) and is the no. 1 streaming service for Hispanics (according to ComScore) with a larger reach than Telemundo and Univision," according to reports.
The Billboard Latin Music Awards, which takes place on April 30, will have a hot line-up this year that's sure to bring the audience and TV viewers to their feet.
The list of high-energy performers also includes Colombian rock star Juanes, Spanish singer and "La Voz Kids" coach Natalia Jimenez and world-renowned EDM DJ Afrojack, who reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 2011 as a featured act on Pitbull's "Give Me Everything," also featuring Ne-Yo and Nayer.
Other highly-anticipated performers include Wisin, Daddy Yankee, Carlos Santana, J Balvin, Carlos Vives, Julion Alvarez y Su Norteño Banda, Ana Gabriel, Lucero, Alejandro Sanz and Roberto Carlos, among others.
It comes as no surprise that Santos is slated to win the 2015 Billboard Latin Artist of the Year.
Santos has had seven No. 1s on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. His single, "Odio," featuring Drake, spent 13 weeks atop the list -- his longest running No. 1 song. On the Billboard Hot 100, "Odio" was the highest debut for a Spanish-language song in the 55-year history of the chart when it arrived at No. 45.
The Dominican crooner's album Formula, Vol. 2 debuted at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart and spent 11 weeks atop the list.
The Billboard Latin Music Awards will be produced and broadcast live by Telemundo on Thursday, April 30, at 7p.m. from the Awards BankUnited Center at the University of Miami in Florida.
