SiriusXM Switches On Billboard Latin Music Week Channel Ahead of Miami Week
SiriusXM has switched on its Billboard Latin Music Week Channel from Oct. 16, with four days of chart-topping Latin music to lead into the industry week in Miami.
The channel is built around artists who have topped Billboard's Latin charts and artists nominated for this year's Billboard Latin Music Awards. It is available now on the SiriusXM app, where it will stream through Oct. 22, according to Billboard.
Listeners in cars get a shorter window. The channel takes over Hits Uno, channel 148, from Oct. 20 to Oct. 22.
The playlist covers four broad lanes: Latin pop/rock, regional Mexican, Latin rhythm and tropical. Those are Billboard's main Latin song groupings, spanning guitar-led pop and rock, música mexicana styles such as banda and norteño, reggaetón and Latin hip-hop, and Caribbean-rooted styles such as salsa and bachata.
Names on the channel include Shakira, Karol G, Prince Royce, Bad Bunny, Pitbull, Maluma, Fuerza Regida, Rawayana and Ryan Castro.
The channel arrives just before Billboard Latin Music Week, which is organised for Oct. 19 to Oct. 22 in Miami. The week is built around question-and-answer interviews, panels and live showcases, with an exclusive “Superstar Q&A” with Pitbull confirmed for the 2026 line-up.
Other Q&A guests announced for this year's week include Maluma, Becky G, Fuerza Regida, Anuel AA, Kany García and Rubén Blades, according to Billboard.
It all ends with awards night. The Billboard Latin Music Awards will air live from the James L. Knight Center in Miami on Oct. 22 at 8 p.m. ET on Telemundo and Peacock.
For fans, this means a simple way to catch up before the trophies. Hear the nominated songs in one place, then watch how the week closes on stage in Miami.
