The singer will accept the award on May 7 in a celebration that will air on Spanish-language TV channel Telemundo.
Shakira's song"Monotonía" featuring Ozuna was the biggest Spanish-language debut of 2022, and in January of this year, her song"Shakira: BZRP Music Sessions #53" debuted at No. 9 on Billboard's Hot 100 music chart — making her the first woman to reach the top 10 with a Spanish song, according to Billboard.
Her song"Sessions" currently holds the record for most-streamed Latin track in 24 hours in Spotify history, and the record for the most-viewed Latin track on YouTube in 24 hours with over 63 million views. It broke 14 Guinness World Records, according to the magazine. The superstar has sold more than 95 million records globally, making her one of the best-selling musicians of all time.

Billboard calls the event"a first of its kind for Latin music," and says the event"celebrates Latin female artists, executives and creatives who are proactively working for positive change, inclusion and gender parity in the music industry."
Other Latin superstars receiving awards at the event include Evaluna, Ana Gabriel, Emilia, Goyo and Thalia.
