Música Mexicana owned the night in Miami. Fuerza Regida were the top winners at the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Thursday (October 22) at the James L. Knight Center, taking home eight awards — the most of any act — in a ceremony broadcast live on Telemundo and Peacock.

Four of the group’s eight trophies came from a single song. “Marlboro Rojo” swept Hot Latin Song of the Year, Streaming Song of the Year, Global 200 Latin Song of the Year and Regional Mexican Song of the Year, underlining just how completely the track has traveled. Fuerza Regida also won Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year, Duo or Group; Top Latin Albums Artist of the Year, Duo or Group; and Regional Mexican Artist of the Year, Duo or Group.

The eighth honor may be the one that says the most about where the group stands: the Billboard Vanguard Award, presented for innovation and creative vision in bringing Mexican music to global audiences. In a few short years, the San Bernardino group has moved from regional standout to one of the defining acts of Latin music’s streaming era — and Thursday’s haul made that status official.

The night also delivered career honors for Cristian Castro (Lifetime Achievement), Rosalía (Hall of Fame) and Rubén Blades (Icon), with Bad Bunny, Karol G, Peso Pluma and Romeo Santos among the other multiple winners.
