- Bad Bunny, "Yonaguni" A mix of vulnerable emo lyrics and chill reggaetón beats brings “Yonaguni” to life giving the Puerto Rican superstar a newly alternative, perreo sound.
- C. Tangana, "Tu Me Dejaste de Querer" One of the most experimental artists around, C. Tangana is impossible to box in one genre. In El Madrileño, he combines contemporary pop with tradition and folklore.
- Calibre 50, “A La Antiguita" Calibre 50’s “A La Antiguita (Like the Old Days)” is an ode to the type of romance that, nowadays, is far from common: Chivalry at its peak, with “serenades, kisses, flowers and letters,” as Eden Muñoz (who has “lots of love to spare”) sings.
- Camilo, "Vida de Rico" Armed with a ukulele, a wistful voice and lyrics that are innocent but oh so clever (“I can’t give you a dime, but I can give you a thousand kisses/ I have little to take you out with, but slow dancing is free”), Colombia’s Camilo changed the sound of Latin pop, making what could be considered corny sound cool.
- Bad Bunny & Chencho Corleone, "Me Porto Bonito" “You’re not a bebesita, you’re a bebesota” is the famous line that has turned “Me Porto Bonito” into a viral sensation.
- Bad Bunny & The Marias, "Otro Atardecer" There’s something magical about hearing María Zardoya’s ethereal and tender vocals intertwined with Bad Bunny’s deeper vocal range on “Otro Atardecer.”
- Becky G, "Bailé Con Mi Ex" “Bailé Con Mi Ex” is a melodically driven pop track that puts Becky G’s sweet, wide-ranging vocals at the forefront. What was supposed to be an English track and written for a man, the Mexican-American artist made her own, recording it in Spanish and from a woman’s POV.
- Becky G & Karol G, "MAMIII" When Karol G tweeted “An anthem is coming,” on Feb 3rd, she was not playing around: Becky G and Karol G joined forces to deliver this powerful reggaetón feel-good anthem for their first-ever collaboration — which also became the highest-charting song for both artists on the Hot 100 with its No. 15 debut.
