Billboard No. 1s to return to Spain in 2026 and 2027
Billboard and Starlite Music Group will bring the Billboard No. 1s live show back to Spain in 2026 and 2027.
The two companies confirmed the two-year collaboration on Oct. 20, during Billboard Latin Music Week at the Faena Forum in Miami Beach, Florida, according to Billboard.
The announcement came in a panel led by Leila Cobo, Billboard's co-executive director of content, and Sandra García-Sanjuán, co-founder and executive president of Starlite Music Group.
The next edition lands this December. Billboard No. 1s Spain will take place at IFEMA Madrid as part of Starlite Occident Madrid, which runs Dec. 11-23.
That December show will feature performances from artists who reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hits of the World Spain Songs chart, the company's weekly ranking of the most popular songs in Spain.
It follows a first edition held in December 2025. That night drew more than 5,000 attendees. It was the first time Billboard staged its No. 1s event outside the United States, and the first time the show centred on music in Spanish.
Performers at that launch included Ana Mena, Pablo Alborán, Omar Montes and Yami Safdie.
Starlite Music Group organises annual festivals in Marbella and Madrid. The Madrid edition hosts concerts and gala nights inside the Christmas-season Starlite Occident programme.
For fans, this means a fixed date on the calendar. Spain keeps its own No. 1s night for the next two winters, with the line-up drawn directly from chart positions.
