MIAMI, Florida (December 26, 2019). In 2019 global Latin music idol MALUMA soared to new heights in his career, reaching significant milestones in music, fashion, philanthropy, endorsements and acting.
 
Maluma's world tours always break records and this year was no exception for the box office giant as he performed 65 concerts throughout four continents with his 11:11 World Tour with sold outs in venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York, The Forum in Los Angeles and the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, which he had packed in 2018 and he also sold out Israel's largest venue, Yarkon Park in Tel Aviv (60,000+ audience); made history at the 18th annual Mawazine Festival in Rabat, Morocco, setting an all-time attendance record with his headlining concert in front of 200,000 people; and performed for the first time ever in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in front of 25,000. Maluma also sold out concerts in cities he had never performed in such as: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Portugal, Vienna, Hungary, the Czech Republic, among many others where fans sang along to his music, no matter the regions or languages.
According to Forbes magazine, the twenty-five year old produces an average of $600,000 per tour stop, more than any other music artist included in the magazine's 30 Under 30 Class of 2020, in which Maluma was also the only Latin singer included.

Maluma released his fourth album 11:11 on May 17th debuting at #1 on Billboard Latin Albums Chart and garnering rave reviews. The twenty-five year old performed his multiplatinum single "HP" on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in support of 11:11. With 11:11 Maluma has been nominated for a 2020 GRAMMY Award in the Best Latin Pop Album category. This is the first GRAMMY nomination for the artist who won the Latin Grammy for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album in 2018 for his album F.A.M.E. 

Maluma scored three Billboard Latin Airplay #1s this year bringing his grand total of #1 singles on Latin radio to fourteen, with songs "Créeme" x Karol G and 11:11's "HP" and "11 PM". In Vevo's year-end list of top viewed videos globally, "11PM" is in the top 10 with 447 million views. With the close of the decade, he is included in several Billboard charts, the 50 Best Latin Albums of the Decade with F.A.M.E, inclusion in the Top Latin Artists of the Decade chart and the Hot Latin Songs of the Decade chart with "Felices Los 4". He won the Artist of the Year Pop/Rock Premio Lo Nuestro award at one of the most highly-rated Latin music award shows and he also was honored with the Latin Songwriter of the Year award by ASCAP at their annual gala.

The story of Maluma's rise to fame was captured by renown director Jessy Terrero for YouTube Originals in a partnership created to document his life. The result is "MALUMA: Lo que era, lo que soy, lo que seré" which premiered in June and has since been available globally on YouTube.
Maluma had several major collabs this year but the most surprising and groundbreaking one was alongside none other than Madonna, her first single in five years, and they named it after the young idol's hometown "Medellin". They recorded a beautifully surreal video in which the two artists tie the knot in a lavish outrageous event and they sang and danced it live in a sexy performance at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. 

Other important collabs include "No Se Me Quita" with Ricky Martin, "La Luz" with Wisin & Yandel, "La Respuesta" with Becky G, "Vivir Bailando" with Silvestre Dangond and "Que Pena" alongside J Balvin.

Maluma closed the year by renewing his publishing contract with Sony ATV.
 
The global latin music idol continued to be very involved in fashion this year making the rounds at fashion weeks in New York, Milan and Paris. This year he was invited to sit front row at shows by DSquared2, Off-White, Heron Preston, JW Anderson and Dior. Vogue declared Maluma "Men's Fashion's Hottest Muse". 
He attended his first Met Gala wearing Moschino by Jeremy Scott - formally called the Costume Institute Gala it is an annual fundraising gala benefiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit and many call it "fashion's biggest night out". 
Maluma graced cover of the first-ever print-edition of Harper's Bazaar Men USA curated by Dior Creative Director and magazine editor Kim Jones. GQ included him in their 2019 Man of the Year edition naming him the "Global Pop Sensation of the Year" and declaring "Its Maluma's World Now". This year he also appeared on the covers of L'Officiel and the American Airlines In-flight magazine Nexos as well as PAPER magazine's digital edition. The multifaceted artist has always been attracted to the film world yet hadn't found a role compelling enough to take him away from his music. Twenty-nineteen changed this as he was made an offer he could not refuse, shooting Universal's  romantic comedy "Marry Me" with Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson. He shot in New York for several months while finishing his U.S. tour, even capturing a scene in the midst of his Madison Square Garden sold out concert, and he will debut on the silver screen in 2020.
   
A lot is in the works for Maluma in 2020 in the worlds of music, fashion, endorsements and philanthropy.
Already announced is Maluma's 2020 MALUMA World Tour which opens February 14th (until April 2nd) with stops in twenty-three cities across Europe, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates including Dubai, Istanbul, Helsinki, Oslo, Stockholm, Bratislava, Prague, Krakow, Ljubljana, Munich, Stuttgart, Milan, Athens, Thessaloniki, Amsterdam, Zurich, Frankfurt, Paris, Luxembourg, Antwerp, Barcelona, ​​Madrid and London.
