Los Campeones del Pueblo "The Big Leagues" is the ninth studio album by Puerto Rican duo Wisin & Yandel, released on December 14, 2018 by Sony Music Latin.
"[2] Between September 2017 and February 2018, they released the singles "Como Antes" for Yandel's album Update, "Todo Comienza En La Disco" with Daddy Yankee for Wisin's Victory, and Ricky Martin's "Fiebre".
[9] Between November 30 and December 9, 2018, the duo performed a record-breaking eight consecutive concerts at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in Puerto Rico, which were part of their Como Antes Tour, with a total attendance of more than 100,000 spectators.
[11] Yandel said in December 2018 that he suggested Wisin to make a record with a similar style to their 2005 release Pa'l Mundo, which has been described as their breakthrough work and is the 20th best-selling Latin album in the United States as of October 2017.
"[14] Wisin expressed that "there is a great need for that sound by Daddy Yankee, Luny Tunes' Más Flow, and DJ Blass" and added that that was the "flavour" they wanted to bring with the album.
[16][17] Ozuna's single "Quiero Más", released on his album Aura in August 2018, was originally recorded for Los Campeones del Pueblo: The Big Leagues.
[30] In order to promote the album in the United States, radio operator Spanish Broadcasting System premiered it in its entirety on five tropical and urban stations, including Mega 97.9 in New York and El Zol 106.7 in Miami, with Wisin & Yandel as DJs.
[38][39] That same week, the track garnered Wisin & Yandel their 12th number-one on the Latin Airplay list and the first one as lead acts since their 2012 song "Algo Me Gusta de Ti".
[63][64][65][66][67] Thom Jurek of AllMusic stated that the release of the album is "great news for fans of one of reggaeton's longest reigning outfits," and described it as a "club-friendly groove and beat orgy.
