Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Puerto Rican rapper Don Omar has won 33 awards from 69 nominations, being one of the most successful artists of the genre. He has been nominated for 11 Latin Grammy Awards, 1 Grammy Awards,[1] 23 Billboard Latin Music Awards, 4 Billboard Music Awards, 19 Lo Nuestro Awards, 4 International Dance Music Awards, 2 American Music Awards, 2 Premios People en Español, 2 MTV Video Music Awards and 1 Premio MTV Latinoamérica.

Rivera was born and raised in Carolina, Puerto Rico, the oldest son of William Landrón and Luz Antonia Rivera. From an early age, he showed interest in the music of Vico C and Brewley MC. During his youth, he became an active member of a Protestant church, Iglesia Evangélica Restauración en Cristo in Bayamón where he occasionally offered sermons. However, after four years, he left the church to dedicate himself to singing.[3] Although his base genre is reggaeton, he also took other roots in latin pop and electropop since 2008.

He released 7 studio albums between 2003 and 2018, including the Billboard Latin Music Award winner King of Kings (2006) for the Reggaeton Album of the Year. Rivera was also responsible for the production of his 4 collaboration albums, including the Latin Grammy Award winner Meet the Orphans 2: New Generation (2012) for Best Urban Music Album. His fifth studio album, The Last Don II was released in June 2015.[4][5] The artist made record in the history for Billboard.[6][7] The artist was the Guinness World Record for the video most views in YouTube.[2]
