MIAMI (AP) - Pop crossover star Enrique Iglesias dominates the list of finalists for the 22nd Billboard Latin Music awards with 14 nominations. Shakira follows close behind with 13 nods.

Telemundo announced the nominees for the April 28 award ceremony to be aired live from the BankUnited Center at the University of Miami.

Iglesias shares the nomination for artist of the year with the native Bronx group Aventura, the Mexican pop trio Camila and Shakira.
