The new methodology for the Hot Latin Songs chart includes sales of digital downloads and streaming activity of Spanish-language songs as well as airplay of Spanish-language songs on all radio stations in the United States. Billboard also imposes a linguistic rule of a song being predominantly sung in Spanish to be eligible to rank on the Hot Latin Songs. Previously, the Hot Latin Songs chart ranked the most-played songs on Spanish-language radio states regardless of language or genre. The Latin Airplay, which was also established, is based on the Hot Latin Song's former methodology.http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/billboard-shakes-up-genre-charts-with-new-1007978302.story https://web.archive.org/web/20121013203259/http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/billboard-shakes-up-genre-charts-with-new-1007978302.story dead October 13, 2012 Billboard Shakes Up Genre Charts With New Methodology Billboard Prometheus Global Media October 11, 2012 December 27, 2012 November 15 — The 13th Annual Latin Grammy Awards are held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.General Field http://www.latingrammy.com/en/winners/108 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121103061652/http://www.latingrammy.com/en/winners/108 3 November 2012 Latin Grammy Awards Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences United States 16 October 2012 dead "¡Corre!" by Jesse & Joy wins Record the Year and Song of the Year Juanes: MTV Unplugged by Juanes wins Album of the Year 3Ball MTY wins Best New Artist Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso was honored as the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year December 9 — A plane carrying Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera and six other passengers crashes near Iturbide, Nuevo León, killing everyone on board.Lilley Sandra Wreckage of singer Jenni Rivera's plane is found, no survivors http://nbclatino.com/2012/12/09/plane-carrying-mexican-american-star-jenni-rivera-is-missing/ 26 July 2019 NBC Latino 9 December 2012 en Number-one albums and singles by country List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2012 (Brazil) List of number-one songs of 2012 (Colombia) List of number-one albums of 2012 (Mexico) List of number-one albums of 2012 (Portugal) List of number-one albums of 2012 (Spain) List of number-one singles of 2012 (Spain) List of number-one Billboard Latin Albums from the 2010s List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Songs of 2012 Awards 2012 Premio Lo Nuestro 2012 Billboard Latin Music Awards 2012 Latin Grammy Awards 2012 Tejano Music Awards Albums released First quarter January Day Title Artist Genre(s) Singles Label140 Anos Depois João Bosco MPB Universal, MPB Discos María Teresa Chacín Canta Cuentos María Teresa Chacín 3Brasileiro: Works of Francisco Mignone Cuarteto Latinoamericano Modern Sono Luminus17Sembrando Flores Los Cojolites Round Whirled RecordsFurther Explorations Chick Corea, Eddie Gómez and Paul Motian Post Bop, Modal, Cool Jazz "Alice In Wonderland""Turn Out The Stars" Concord Jazz24Irreversible ... 2012 La Arrolladora Banda El Limón Banda "No La Voy A Engañar""Irreversible""Llamada De Mi Ex""No Me Vengas A Decir" Disa28El Imperio Nazza Musicologo y Menes Reggaeton El Cartel Records31365 Díashttps://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/los-tucanes-de-tijuanas-365-dias-album-preview-1067293/ Los Tucanes De Tijuana’s ‘365 Dias’: Album Preview Billboard 13 January 2012 14 July 2025 Los Tucanes de Tijuana "Amor Compartido""365 Días""Salió Del Closet (Banda Sinaloense Version)""365 Días (Banda Sinaloense Version)" Tempo Eddie Gomez, Tania Maria Bossa Nova, Latin Jazz Naive February Day Title Artist Genre(s) Singles Label6Yo Soy Generasion Generasion Hard Rock Rejoice Music7Un Pokito de Rocanrol Bebe Latin Pop, Rock En Espanol "Joyas/ABC""Compra Paga""K.I.E.R.E.M.E."
