Kobalt has renewed its worldwide partnership with Latin singer/songwriter, Ozuna.

The extension of the worldwide agreement continues to include publishing administration for all of Ozuna’s future works as well as his back catalog.

Since joining Kobalt, Ozuna has released three albums, all of which have debuted at No.1 on Billboard’s Latin Albums chart, along with a total of 18 No.1 singles on Billboard’s Latin Airplay charts including, Taki Taki, Unica, and Baila Baila Baila.

Odisea (2017) spent 46 weeks at No.1, the second-longest run behind Gloria Estefan’s 1993, Mi Tierra.

Aura (2018) and Nibiru (2019), followed with multiple singles charting on each.

In 2019, Ozuna continued his success, topping Justin Bieber as the artist with the most views on YouTube, with seven videos with over one billion views.

That, along with his 11 Billboard Latin Music Award wins, the most wins by a single artist, landed him on Time’s 100 Most Influential People list, after winning top honors during BMI Latin Awards, including Contemporary Latin Song of the Year, and leading the pack with 14 Billboard Latin Music Awards nominations.
