There's a time and place for every type of playlist. While sometimes you just want to turn on some sad songs [1] and stew in your emotions, there's always room for a festive, upbeat, set-it-and-forget-it type of playlist. To help get the party started, we put together some of our favorite jams including recent crossover songs, early-aughts reggaeton hits, and old-school salsa songs. The past year alone has delivered so many songs that immediately want to make you get up a dance — honestly, where would we be without Cardi B's "I Like It" [2] or, of course, "Despacito"? Ahead, press play on some of the best party songs by Latinx artists.
