‘Fighter’ hitmaker Christina Aguilera is among the top competitors for this year’s Latin GRAMMY Awards.

The Latin Recording Academy announced the nominations roster Tuesday (September 20), and the Pop diva – listed for work found aboard her second Spanish LP ‘Aguilera’ – earned 7 nods and tied music sensation Drexler as the night’s fourth most-nominated act.  Only Bad Bunny (10), Edgar Barrera (9), Rosalia (8), and Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro (8) nabbed more nods at the awards’ 23rd annual ceremony.

And while Aguilera will have to wait until the show’s November 17 air date to find out if she’ll be adding any more Latin GRAMMYs to her collection (having previously won for 2000’s ‘Mi Reflejo’ album), honors for her 2022 don’t stop there.

Details inside.

On September 29, the Pop superstar will not only perform at the 2022 Billboard Latin Music Awards but she’ll also be honored with the Spirit of Hope Award.

Established in 1996 in memory of the Queen of Tejano Music Selena Quintanilla, the special recognition will celebrate Aguilera for her work beyond music which includes, but is not limited to, philanthropic and humanitarian efforts.

Set to air live on Telemundo from the Watsco Canter in Miami, the Billboard Latin Music Awards – like the Latin GRAMMYs – sees Bad Bunny leads the pack of nominees as well.  There, he’s listed with 23 nods across 13 categories.  Click here to see the full list of nominees.
