The 16th edition of “Premios Juventud” featured a record number of today’s most popular and emerging artists performing for the first time on this stage.
Hosted by Alejandra Espinoza, Lali and CNCO, the award show received over 1.5 million audience votes to decide tonight’s winners among 160 nominees in 24 brand new categories.
