The 26th Annual Premios Gardel honored the best recordings, compositions, and artists from 1 January to 31 December 2023, as chosen by the members of Argentine Chamber of Phonograms and Videograms Producers, on 28 May 2024. In its 3rd year at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires, the ceremony was broadcast on Star+ and Star Channel, and was hosted by Iván de Pineda for the third time. The event was co-hosted by Evelyn Botto, Nacho Elizalde and Cris Vanadía.[1][2][3] The nominations were announced on 30 April 2024; Milo J received the most nominations with fifteen, followed by Emilia with twelve.[4]

Miranda!, Lali, Milo J and Bizarrap were the night's biggest winners, receiving three awards each. In the big four categories, Miranda! won Album of the Year for Hotel Miranda!, Lali won Song of the Year for "Obsesión", Fito Páez won Record of the Year for the 2023 version of "La Rueda Mágica", which featured Andrés Calamaro and Conociendo Rusia, and Milo J won Best New Artist.[5] Charly García was honored with the Lifetime Achievement "Say No More" Award.

Lali made history as the first female artist to win Song of the Year three times, joining only Abel Pintos and Vicentico. Moreover, she became the first artist in history to win Best Music Video with two videos from the same album after winning with "Disciplina" in 2023 and with "Quiénes Son?" in 2024.[6]

The premiere ceremony took place earlier on the same day as the main event at the Vorterix Theater in Buenos Aires. During the ceremony, the winners of 30 out of the 50 categories were announced. The event was not broadcast live, but a television special aired on 29 May 2024 on Star+.[7]

Background

Category changes

For the 2024 ceremony, three new pop categories were introduced, expanding the total number of categories to 50. This move was interpreted as a response to the criticism faced by the awards in the preceding year for overlooking prominent pop artists, notably Lali, in favor of songs that, while popular, did not strictly fit the pop genre, such as "Muchachos, Ahora Nos Volvimos a Ilusionar" by La Mosca Tsé - Tsé.[8] The new categories are Best Urban Pop Album and Best Urban Pop Song, while the category for Best Romantic/Melodic Album was rebranded to Best Traditional Pop Album.[9]

Issues in the voting process

Unlike the other categories, where winners are chosen by a committee selected by the Argentine Chamber of Phonograms and Videograms Producers (CAPIF), the winner of the Song of the Year category is chosen online by the audience via Instagram and Facebook. On 23 May 2024, CAPIF announced the suspension of social media voting for this category. The decision stemmed from the detection of serious irregularities that compromised the integrity of the voting process.

According to the official statement issued by CAPIF, problems were identified in the social media voting. These irregularities revealed the presence of numerous votes not from authentic users or genuine followers of the nominated artists, but from bots—computer programs designed to simulate human activity online. This discovery raised concerns within the Argentine music industry, as it undermined the transparency and fairness expected in a public voting process. "This situation is unacceptable and absolutely incompatible with the objective of public voting, as it does not represent the will or preference of the public at all," CAPIF stated. Therefore, it was confirmed that voting via social media was completely annulled. However, they assured that alternative methods were being evaluated to determine the winner of the Song of the Year category, while consistently upholding the principles of fairness and transparency that characterize the awards.[10] It was clarified that the category would neither be suspended nor voted on by a special jury. The goal was to rely on the public's opinion, as they had been the ones deciding the winners for this category for several years.[11] On 28 May 2024 at 12:00 PM ART, a voting line was open to choose the winner of the category via SMS. Later that evening, during the main ceremony, "Obsesión" by Lali was proclaimed Song of the Year.
