Since “Despacito” became Spotify’s third- most-streamed track worldwide in 2017 (its remix coming in second), artists who eschew the lure of performing in English have seen continuing success.Īlthough “Despacito” didn’t open the floodgates for non-English No. Though not solely responsible for the change, Luis Fonsi’s 2017 smash hit “ Despacito,” featuring Daddy Yankee (and its hugely popular Justin Bieber remix) marked a seismic shift in a global appetite for Latin and non-English-language music not seen since the days of Gloria Estefan in the 1980s, Ricky Martin in the 1990s, and early-2000s success of Enrique Iglesias. In December 2016, Billboard magazine named him the 14th most successful and top male dance club artist of all time.There’s been a significant change in pop music over the past few years. Iglesias also has fourteen number-ones on Billboard's Dance charts, more than any other male artist. He also holds the record for most number-one hits and the longest-running number-one hit on that chart. He has had five Billboard Hot 100 top five singles, including two number-ones, and holds the record for producing twenty-seven number-one Spanish-language singles on the Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks. Iglesias has scored over 150 number-one songs across all of the Billboard charts.
He has sold over one hundred million records (albums and singles combined) worldwide, making him one of the best-selling Spanish speaking artists ever. He signed with Sony Music and his subsequent albums to be released by Sony Music Latin in Spanish and RCA Records in English. In 2015, Iglesias parted ways with Universal Music Group after being there for over a decade. In 2010, he parted with Interscope Records and signed with another Universal Music Group label Republic Records to release bilingual albums. He signed a multi-album deal with Universal Music Group for US$68 million with Universal Music Latino to release his Spanish albums and Interscope Records to release English albums. By the turn of the millennium, after becoming one of the biggest stars in Latin America and the Hispanic market in the United States, he made a successful crossover into the US mainstream market. Widely regarded as the King of Latin Pop, Iglesias began his career during the mid-1990s on an American Spanish-language record label Fonovisa Records under the stage name Enrique Martinez before switching to his notable surname Iglesias. Couples have danced to his songs in other seasons as well. He has been a guest performer in Dancing with the Stars in seasons eleven and seventeen. Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler is a Spanish singer, songwriter, actor and record producer.
