You can also expect to see new music from Maluma, Enrique Iglesias, Bad Bunny, Wisin & Yandel, Daddy Yankee and J Balvin.

We started the week with a teaser of Justin Timberlake’s new album, Man of the Woods, due out February 2.

Check out the official video of the first single off Timberlake’s fifth solo album, “Filthy”, released today.

Last but not least, Bruno Mars and Cardi B debuted a serious ‘90’s throwback remix of “Finesse,” off of Mars’ 2016 album 24K Magic. Released at midnight on Wednesday, they nearly broke the internet with this “In Living Color” tribute. We think this song will definitely dominate the clubs this weekend!
