Billboard's Latin Music Week will take place at The Venetian in Las Vegas April 22-25.
Ozuna is the single most successful Latin artist on the market today. His 2018 album, Aura debuted with the largest streaming week ever for a Latin release on the Billboard charts and ended the year as the No. 1 Latin album on the charts. It was followed by Odisea, his 2017 release which spent a record-breaking 32 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart in 2017 and 2018.

He also holds the record as the artist with most videos in any language, with over one billion views as a lead artist, featured artist or collaborator, with seven videos reaching the milestone.

We have followed his career from the onset and are proud to welcome him to Latin Music Week," said Leila Cobo, Billboard's Vice President and Latin Industry Lead.
