The Billboard Latin Music Award for Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year (formerly Hot Latin Tracks Artist of the Year) is an honor presented annually at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, a ceremony which honors "the most popular albums, songs, and performers in Latin music, as determined by the actual sales, radio airplay, streaming and social data that informs Billboard's weekly charts."[1] The award is given to best performing artists on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart, which measures the most popular Latin songs in the United States.[2] The Hot Latin Songs chart was based solely on radio airplay since its induction in 1986 until October 2012, when it started to also measure digital sales and streaming activity.[3] In 2010, the category was split into three: Male, Female, and Duo or Group.
