Music:
Billboard.com - Top Latin Artists by year

Play this game by listening carefully and filling in the missing song lyrics when the music pauses.
Pandora.com / IHeartRadio.com
These programs are great because you can start out listening to one Spanish singer (or genre) and you will be exposed to other Spanish artists within the same genre​.
Kevin, Karla, y La Banda
These singers, in Chile, make Spanish covers of popular songs. You can also do a general search on YouTube to see if anyone has made a Spanish COVER of your favorite songs. It is most helpful if you can find one with the lyrics (LETRA) on the screen so you can see the words as you hear them.

Television & movies:
Netflix
Every day, I listen to at least an HOUR of Spanish! Usually, it is an episode or two of a series I'm watching, but sometimes it is a movie. I can listen while I'm exercising, doing chores, or just relaxing. Every day, I'm expanding my vocabulary, improving my grammar, learning new idioms, and/or increasing my listening comprehension speed.
After you click on something you want to watch, go to the settings and switch to Spanish audio and/or Spanish subtitles.
Movies
Watch your favorite DVD movies, but go into the settings and change the audio to Spanish and/or change the subtitles to Spanish.
Movie Trailers on YouTube
