Staff Picks: The Best Latin Albums of 2024, Ranked


Here are the best 29 Latin music albums of 2024. From Peso Pluma's "Éxodo" to Rauw Alejandro's "Cosa Nuestra," check out the ranked list.

Throughout 23 tracks — mostly bachata, but also boasting fusions with regional Mexican, disco, merengue, urbano and more — the notoriously private star spoke for the first time about his life, sharing intimate details of the pain of his divorce in songs like “Un Papel” and “Frío en el Infierno.” Deeply honest and charming, the set debuted and peaked at No. His flair for blending musical styles is displayed as he combines Jersey club with dembow in “Sonrisa,” and dips into sultry R&B alongside Rauw Alejandro in “Hey Lil Mama.” The album closes powerfully with “Mama’s Boy” featuring Nach, a poignant homage to his mother showcasing Carrión’s vulnerability. From the evocative reimagining of Frankie Ruiz’s classic “Tú Con Él” to the intimate blend of bolero and R&B on “Amar de Nuevo” and the untouchable boss persona he projects on “IL Capo,” the smooth Puerto Rican singer showcases a refined ability to transcend traditional musical boundaries while staying true to his roots and fan expectations.
