He is widely regarded as the King of Latin Pop.
In , he parted with Interscope Records and signed with another Universal Music Group label Republic Records to release bilingual albums. In , Iglesias parted ways with Universal Music Group after being there for over a decade. Enrique Iglesias has sold over million records albums and singles combined worldwide, making him one of the best-selling Spanish artists ever. He has had five Billboard Hot top five singles, including two number-ones, and holds the record for producing 27 number-one Spanish-language singles on the Billboard ' s Hot Latin Tracks.
He also holds the record for most number-one hits and the longest-running number-one hit on that chart. Iglesias was born in Madrid, Spain, and is the third and youngest child of Spanish singer Julio Iglesias and Filipina socialite and magazine journalist Isabel Preysler. He was raised with two older siblings: Chabeli and Julio Jr.
At first, Iglesias and his two siblings stayed with their mother, [19] but in December , Iglesias' grandfather, Dr. Iglesias did not want his father to know about his plans for a musical career and did not want his famous surname to help advance his career. He borrowed money from his family nanny and he recorded a demo cassette tape which consisted of a Spanish song and two English songs.
After dropping out of college, he traveled to Toronto to record his first album.

This album Vivir , along with Iglesias next two albums, was released by the Mexican label Fonovisa. 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, going Gold in Portugal within the first week of release, and sold over a million copies in the next three months. His song " Por Amarte " was included in Televisa 's telenovela Marisol , but with a twist: The CD also yielded Italian and Portuguese editions of the album, with most of the songs translated into those languages.
In , Iglesias' stardom continued to rise with the release of Vivir To Live , which put him up with other English language music superstars in sales for that year. It was said beforehand that the elder Iglesias would walk out if he did not win the award. Iglesias lost out to his father, but did perform the song " Lluvia Cae " at the event. Insisting on playing stadiums for his first concert tour, that summer, Iglesias, backed by sidemen for Elton John , Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel , played to sold-out audiences in sixteen countries.
Iglesias did a short tour of smaller venues to accompany the release of the album, with one show being televised from Acapulco , Mexico. This was followed by a larger world tour of over eighty shows in even bigger venues. By , Iglesias had begun a successful crossover career into the English language music market. Thanks to other successful crossover acts, most notably that of Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan , Latino artists and music had a great surge in popularity in mainstream music. After attending one of his concerts in March , Will Smith asked Iglesias to contribute to the soundtrack of his movie Wild Wild West.
His contribution "Bailamos" was released as a single and became a number one hit in the US. After the success of " Bailamos ", several mainstream record labels were eager to sign Iglesias. Signing a multi-album deal after weeks of negotiations with Interscope , Iglesias recorded and released his first full CD in English, Enrique. The pop album, with some Latin influences, took two months to complete. Shock jock Howard Stern repeatedly played a tape of a supposedly very off-key Iglesias on his radio show and accused the Iglesias of not being able to sing live. On 8 June , Iglesias sang the song live on Stern's show with just a guitar accompanying him.
After the performance, Stern remarked, "I respect you for coming in here; you really can sing". In Iglesias released his second English language album Escape. 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. 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.
Escape is his biggest commercial success to date. The singles " Escape " and " Don't Turn Off The Lights " became radio staples, faring well and 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 with Lionel Richie called " To Love a Woman ". Iglesias capitalized on the album's success with his "One-Night Stand World Tour" consisting of fifty sold-out shows in sixteen countries. 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.
The album debuted at number twelve on the Billboard albums chart, the highest placement of a Spanish language album on the chart at that period. The 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 on Billboard ' s Latin Chart. Iglesias performed the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno , becoming the first to sing a Spanish song on the show, and opening doors for other artists such as Ricky Martin , Juanes and Jorge Drexler to perform their Spanish material.
By Iglesias released his seventh album, which he called 7 , the second to be co-written by Iglesias. Among its more s-inspired material, it features the song "Roamer", which he wrote with his friend and longtime guitarist, Tony Bruno. The CD also contained the song "Be Yourself", a song about independence the chorus talks about how Iglesias' own 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 ", featuring Kelis. With this album, Iglesias went on his biggest world tour to date. The highly publicised tour started with twelve shows in the United States ending with Iglesias playing at Houston Rodeo and continued on to several countries, most of which he'd never previously visited playing to sold-out arenas and stadiums in Australia, India, Egypt and Singapore before ending his tour in South Africa. After a two-year hiatus Iglesias released his new album Insomniac on 12 June The album was so named due to it being recorded mainly at night.
The album contained a more contemporary pop style than that of previous albums. The first single, " Do You Know? It was Iglesias's highest charting song on the Billboard Hot since " Escape ". The song was also a hit throughout Europe, peaking in the top 10 in many countries. Iglesias followed up with the ballad " Somebody's Me ", which was released as a single in the American continent. On 4 July Enrique Iglesias became the first Western artist to play a concert in Syria in three decades when he performed for a sold-out crowd of ten thousand in the capital Damascus [ citation needed ] and in the same week he performed on Live Earth in Hamburg.
The tour ended with Iglesias performing at the newly opened L. A second leg of the tour took him throughout Latin America, from Mexico to Argentina. A solo version of "Push" was added to the soundtrack of the movie Step Up 2 the Streets. The song was regarded as the third single from the album. A music video was shot which features the film's lead actors. Despite never being officially added to radio the song has charted in several countries and is one of his most highly rated songs amongst fans. The album debuted at number one on Billboard ' s Top Latin Albums chart and number eighteen on the overall Billboard albums chart.
The album was certified double Platinum Latin field in the U. It is committed to providing guests with a positive experience thanks to its commendable service and good value.
