Prince Royce's 2017 album "Five" is a sprawling double album that attempts to bridge the gap between his bachata roots and a more global pop and R&B-influenced sound. While featuring guest spots from major Latin stars, the album's ambitious scope sometimes leads to a lack of focus.
- "Five" was released on Royce's 28th birthday, February 24, 2017.
- The album reached number 1 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart and number 128 on the Billboard 200.
- It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Album, and won a Billboard Latin Music Award for Latin Pop Album of the Year.
