Latin in Album Draft

Latin covers everything from salsa to reggaeton. Only one Latin song is big enough to lead an album; the rest are solid mid-table and Deep Cut picks.

Which slots Latin fills

• Lead Single (track 3) and The Closer (track 12) want your biggest songs, whatever the genre. 1 Latin songs qualify.
• Deep Cut (track 9) wants your smallest song. 29 Latin songs qualify.

Albums score higher when they use fewer genres and more decades, so Latin works best as one of two or three genres spread across several eras. How scoring works.
