‘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.
