Rosalía’s LUX Wins Album of the Year: Read “La Perla” and the Album Credits Separately

The 2026 Latin Grammy winners include LUX and “La Perla,” but Song, Record and engineering categories name different winners and contributors.

Rosalía's LUX (Complete Works) is Album of the Year in the 2026 Latin Grammy winners list. “La Perla” also wins Song of the Year and Best Pop Song. Read those results beside Record of the Year, though, and a distinction appears: that award goes to Milo J's “Niño,” not “La Perla.”

One song appears in two places, with different credit fields. In the official results, “La Perla” is listed under Record of the Year with Rosalía and Yahritza y Su Esencia. Its Song of the Year winning entry instead names Noah Goldstein, David Rodríguez, Rosalía, Ryan Tedder and Dylan Wiggins. The five writers are the names to retain when recording the songwriting result. Under Record of the Year, the winner is a different entry: Milo J and “Niño.”

Follow the work and its credit field

LUX (Complete Works) also wins Best Alternative Music Album. The results use that full edition title, a useful detail for anyone finding the album after seeing the awards coverage. It is worth keeping the edition name alongside the artist in a library search rather than relying on the word LUX alone.

The album also appears as the winner of Best Engineered Album, where the named recipients are Daniel Cayotte, Isaac Diskin, Tristan Hoogland, Jake Miller, David Rodríguez, Harry Wilson, Manny Marroquin, Bob Jackson and Brian Lee. To look up the engineering result later, save those names alongside the album title. The same record can have separate artist, writing and technical credits; the category tells you which list you are reading.

There is a separate visual result, too: “Sauvignon Blanc (Official Video)” wins Best Short Form Music Video. This gives listeners a separate work to watch after hearing the album: the winning video is “Sauvignon Blanc,” while the winning song entry is “La Perla.”

What to look up after the ceremony

For a listener coming to this music through the results, three searches serve different purposes: LUX (Complete Works) for the album, “La Perla” for the song and its credits, and “Sauvignon Blanc” for the winning video. Copy the category with the title if you save the result in a playlist note. “La Perla — Song of the Year” describes a different result from “Niño — Record of the Year.”

Our earlier LUX anniversary report concerns a playlist and a physical box with a later shipping date. Those are separate release details. An award result doesn't change the contents or delivery date of a shop listing; keep the result, the recording and the package in their own fields.
