Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler[a] (Spanish pronunciation:[enˈrikemiˈɣeliˈɣlesjasˈpɾejsleɾ]; born 8 May 1975) is a Spanish singer and songwriter. He started his recording career in the mid-1990s on the Mexican labelFonovisa where he released three Spanish albumsEnrique Iglesias,Vivir andCosas del Amor becoming the bestselling Spanish-language act of the decade.[1] By the turn of the millennium, he made a successful crossover into the mainstream English-language market.[2]
Iglesias is one of thebest-selling Latin music artists with estimated sales of over 100 million albums worldwide.[6] He has had fiveBillboard Hot 100 top five singles, including two number-ones. Iglesias holds the record for the most number-one songs on theBillboardHot Latin Songs chart with 27 songs and theLatin Pop Airplay chart with 24 songs.[7] Iglesias holds the number-one position on the Greatest of All-Latin Artists charts[8] and in October 2022 he was honored with the Top Latin Artist of All Time at the Latin Billboard Awards.[9] Iglesias also has 14 number-ones onBillboard's Dance charts, more than any other male artist.[10] He has earned the honorific titleKing of Latin Pop.[11][12][13][14] In December 2016,Billboard magazine named him the 14th most successful and top male dance club artist of all time.[15]
Iglesias found out later in life that he was born with a rarecongenital condition known assitus inversus, where some of the body's major organs, such as the heart, are situated on the opposite side of the body from where they would normally be located.[24][25][26]
At first, Iglesias and his two siblings stayed with their mother;[27] however, in December 1981, Iglesias's grandfather Dr.Julio Iglesias Puga was kidnapped by the armedBasque groupETA.[28]
For their safety, Enrique and his brother Julio were sent to live with their father inMiami.[29] There, they were brought up mostly by the nanny, Elvira Olivares, to whom Enrique later dedicated his first album.[27]
Iglesias attendedGulliver Preparatory School, a private high school in Miami, where he developed an interest in writing songs. After graduating from high school he attended theUniversity of Miami inCoral Gables, Florida, where he studied business but dropped out after a year to pursue a recording career.[30][31]
Iglesias did not want his father to know about his plans for a music career and did not want his famous surname to help advance his career. In secret he borrowed money from his family's nanny and recorded a demo cassette tape which consisted of a Spanish song and two English songs.[31] Approaching his father's former publicist, Fernán Martínez, the two promoted the songs under the stage name Enrique Martínez with the backstory of being a singer fromGuatemala.[32] He was signed by Mexican record label Fonovisa and temporarily moved to Canada to record his first album.
On 21 November 1995, Iglesias releasedEnrique Iglesias, a collection of light rock ballads, including hits such as "Si Tú Te Vas" (If You Go Away) and "Experiencia Religiosa" (Religious Experience). The record was released by labelFonovisa, along with Iglesias's following two albums.[31] The record sold half a million copies in its first week, a rare accomplishment then for an album recorded in a language other than English. The record also ended up being certified Gold in another non-Spanish-speaking territory (Portugal) in its first week of release. The album sold million copies in its first three months and went Platinum in the United States.[33]
His song "Por Amarte" was included inTelevisa'stelenovelaMarisol, but with a twist: instead ofPor amarte daría mi vida (To love you, I'd give my life), the words were edited to suit the show, withPor amarte Marisol, moriría (To love you, Marisol, I'd die). The album also showcased Iglesias's prowess as apolyglot, releasing bothItalian andPortuguese editions, with most of the songs being sung in those languages.
Five singles were released from the album, including "Por Amarte", "No Llores Por Mí" (Don't Cry for Me) and "Trapecista" (Trapezist), all of which topped several ofBillboard's Latin music charts. The album still holds the record for most number-one singles onBillboard'sHot Latin Songs chart. The album went on to win Iglesias theGrammy Award forBest Latin Pop Performance.[34]
In 1997, Iglesias's stardom continued to rise with the release ofVivir (To Live), which elevated him to the levels of popular English-language musicians (in sales) that year. The album also included a cover version of theYazoo song "Only You", translated into Spanish as "Solo en Ti".[35] Three singles were released fromVivir: "Enamorado Por Primera Vez" (In Love For the First Time), "Solo en Ti", and "Miente" (Lie), which topped theBillboard Hot Latin Songs chart as well as the charts of several Spanish-speaking countries. Along with his father andLuís Miguel, Iglesias was nominated for anAmerican Music Award in the first-ever awarded category ofFavorite Latin Artist. Iglesias lost out to his father, but performed the song "Lluvia Cae" (Rain is Falling) at the event.[36]
Insistent on playing large stadiums for his first concert tour that summer, Iglesias, backed bysidemen forElton John,Bruce Springsteen, andBilly Joel, played to sold-out audiences in sixteen countries. Beginning inOdessa, Texas, the tour went on to play three consecutive nights in Mexico City'sPlaza de Toros, two nights atMonterrey'sAuditorio Coca-Cola, and two nights (with over 50,000 attendees each) at theEstadio Ciudad de La Plata inArgentina, totaling over 130,000 people. Additionally, Iglesias toured to 19 large indoor arenas in the U.S.[37] In 1998, Iglesias released his third albumCosas del Amor (Things of Love). Taking a more mature musical direction, the album, aided by the popular singles "Esperanza" (Hope) and "Nunca Te Olvidaré" (I'll Never Forget You), both of which topped theBillboard Hot Latin Songs chart and helped cement his status in theLatin music scene.
Iglesias did a shorter tour of smaller venues to accompany the release of the album, with one show being televised fromAcapulco, México. This was followed by another larger world tour, consisting of over 80 shows, in even bigger venues. TheCosas del Amor Tour was the first ever concert tour sponsored byMcDonald's.[38] He won the American Music Award for Favorite Latin Artist for a second time, this time winning againstRicky Martin andChayanne. The song "Nunca te Olvidaré" was also used as the theme song for a Spanish soap opera of the same name and Iglesias guest-starred and sang the song live on the finale episode of the series.[39]
In 1999, Iglesias began a successful crossover career into the English-language pop music market. Thanks to other successful Latin crossover acts, most notablyRicky Martin,Jennifer Lopez, and soon thereafterShakira, Spanish-language and Latino musicians experienced a great surge in popularity amongst the public. After attending one of Iglesias's concerts in March 1999, American actorWill Smith asked Iglesias to contribute a song to the soundtrack of his upcoming movieWild Wild West; Iglesias's contribution of "Bailamos" was released as a single that year, becoming an international hit and peaking at number one on the USBillboard Hot 100.[40] After the success of "Bailamos", several mainstream record labels were eager to sign Iglesias. Signing a multi-album deal, after weeks of negotiations withInterscope, Iglesias recorded and released his first full record in English,Enrique. The pop album featured some clear Latin musical influences, and took two months to complete. It contained the popular song "Rhythm Divine", a duet withWhitney Houston titled "Could I Have This Kiss Forever", and a cover of theBruce Springsteen song "Sad Eyes".[41]
In 2000, Iglesias performed at theSuper Bowl XXXIV halftime show withChristina Aguilera,Phil Collins andToni Braxton.[42] Shock jockHoward Stern repeatedly played a tape of a (supposedly) very off-key Iglesias on his radio show, accusing him of "not being able" to sing live. On 8 June 2000, Iglesias came to New York and sang the song, live and unplugged, on Stern's show with just an accompanying guitarist. After the performance, the two had an interview, and Stern remarked, "I respect you for coming in here; you really can sing."[43] Iglesias noted that the recording could have been him, but that it was probably a recording made during a television taping where he was required tolip sync and not sing properly.[44] He would remark that the controversy was the best promotion he could have. The album's single "Be with You" became Iglesias's second number-one single onBillboard'sHot 100 chart.[40]
In 2001, Iglesias released his second English-language albumEscape.[45] Where most of the Latin crossover acts of the previous year experienced some difficulty matching the record sales of their first English-language albums, Iglesias actually went on to sell even more with the album being certified Diamond for shipments of over 10 million copies. The album's first single, "Hero", became a number-one hit in the United Kingdom, and in many other countries. The entire album was co-written by Iglesias.[46]Escape is his biggest commercial success to date. The singles "Escape" and "Don't Turn Off the Lights" became radio staples, placing highly or topping various charts both in North America and elsewhere. A second edition of the album was released internationally and contained a new version of one of Iglesias's favorite tracks, "Maybe", as well as a duet withLionel Richie called "To Love a Woman".[47]
Iglesias capitalized on the album's success with his "One-Night Stand World Tour" consisting of fifty sold-out shows in sixteen countries. IncludingRadio City Music Hall and three consecutive nights in London'sRoyal Albert Hall, the tour ended with a big show atLia Manoliu Stadium inBucharest, Romania. The concert launched MTV Romania, with the video for "Love to See You Cry" being the first music video to be shown on the channel.[48] In 2002, Iglesias decided to release a fourth Spanish-language album titledQuizás (Perhaps). A more polished musical production than his previous Spanish albums and containing more introspective songs, the album's title track is a song about the strained relationship Iglesias has with his famous father.[49]
The album debuted at number twelve on theBillboard 200 albums chart, the highest placement of a Spanish-language album on the chart at that period.Quizás sold a million copies in a week, making it the fastest-selling album in Spanish in five years. All three singles released from the album all ended up topping the Latin chart, giving Iglesias a total of sixteen number ones on the chart. He currently holds the record for the most number-one singles onBillboard's Latin Chart. With the song "Para Qué La Vida" Iglesias reached a million spins on U.S. radio becoming the first Latin act to do so. The video to the song "Quizás" was the first Spanish-language music video to be added to the selection onMTV's popular showTotal Request Live.The album went on to win theLatin Grammy Award forBest Pop Vocal Album.[50] That year he embarked on an arena tour of the Americas. The "Don't Turn Off the Lights" tour was completed in the summer of 2002, with two sold-out nights inMadison Square Garden and another two in Mexico'sNational Auditorium. The tour finished with a single show in theRoberto Clemente Coliseum inSan Juan, Puerto Rico.[51]
By 2003, Iglesias had released his seventh album, which he called7, the second to be entirely co-written by him. The album's sound was heavily influenced by 80s rock and pop. The album features the song "Roamer", which he wrote with his friend and longtime guitaristTony Bruno and also featured an appearance fromKara DioGuardi, it also contains "Be Yourself", a song about independence; the chorus talks about how Iglesias's parents did not believe he'd ever succeed in his singing career. The first single was the song "Addicted", and was followed closely by a remix of the song "Not in Love", featuringKelis which was a hit in the UK, Australia, Europe and Asia.[citation needed] The Seven World Tour was sponsored byPepsi with Iglesias featuring in a commercial alongsideBritney Spears,Beyoncé andPink and a second ad which featured Not In Love. His biggest world tour to date started with twelve shows in the United States ending with Iglesias playing atHouston Rodeo, and continued on to several countries, most of which he'd never previously visited, playing to sold-out stadiums and arenas in Australia, India, Egypt, and Singapore, before ending his tour inSouth Africa.[52]
After a two-year hiatus, Iglesias released his new albumInsomniac on 12 June 2007. The album was so named due to it being recorded mainly at night. The record had a more contemporary pop style than that of his previous albums. Its highlights includes his first collaboration with a rapper on "Push", featuringLil Wayne, as well as "Ring My Bells" which had featured on the commercial forTommy Hilfiger's True Star Men and a cover ofRingside's "Tired of Being Sorry".[53] The album's first single, "Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)", was released on 10 April 2007. It was Iglesias's highest-charting song on theBillboard Hot 100 since "Escape". The song was also a hit throughout Europe, peaking in the top 10 in many countries.
