LUX Wins Album of the Year: Rosalía's Third Triumph in the Latin GRAMMYs' Biggest Category

On the night of November 12, the 27th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, revealed the evening's biggest prize: Album of the Year went to Rosalía's LUX (Complete Works).

LUX (Complete Works) had already won Best Alternative Music Album and Best Engineered Album earlier in the night; Album of the Year is its third honor of the evening. Counting her wins as an artist, Rosalía collected five awards at this edition — Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Song, Best Alternative Music Album and Best Short Form Music Video — more than any other artist on the night.

It is Rosalía's third Album of the Year victory, after El Mal Querer in 2019 and Motomami in 2022. With LUX she ties Alejandro Sanz's three wins in the category, second in Latin GRAMMY history only to Juan Luis Guerra's four.

From the operatic opening performance to the final envelope, the night was shaped like LUX. The album is a production and engineering showcase: its Best Engineered Album award went to a nine-person team including recording engineer Daniel Cayotte, mixer Manny Marroquin and mastering engineers Bob Jackson and Brian Lee — and under Academy rules, that same production and engineering team shares the Album of the Year honor.

This year's Album of the Year race was the most crowded of the night, with ten nominated albums: Anitta's Equilibrivm, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso's Free Spirits, Jorge Drexler's Taracá, Silvana Estrada's Vendrán Suaves Lluvias, Karol G's Tropicoqueta, Mon Laferte's FEMME FATALE, Carín León's MUDA, Milo J's La Vida Era Más Corta, Rawayana's ¿Dónde Es El After? and Rosalía's LUX (Complete Works).

Album of the Year honors the artistic achievement of a full album: beyond the artist, the album's producers, recording engineers, mixers and mastering engineer are also named as winners when they meet the Academy's credited playing-time threshold. It is traditionally the last of the four general-field awards to be revealed.
