Finalists and eventual winners of the Billboard Latin Music Awards were determined by radio and sales chart performance and social and streaming activity as chronicled in Billboard magazine, billboard.com and billboard.biz during the eligibility period of February 5, 2011 through January 28, 2012.

Billboard's charts are the world's most authoritative music rankings with award categories based on album and digital track sales data provided by Nielsen SoundScan, monitored radio airplay and streaming data measured by Nielsen BDS, and social media consumption gauged by Next Big Sound.

Also presented on the show are Billboard's prestigious discretionary awards including Spirit of Hope for humanitarian contributions, the Lifetime Achievement awards and Hall of Fame. The Billboard Latin Music Awards are produced and televised LIVE on Telemundo on April 26, 2012.
