Enrique Iglesias (born
Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler; May 8, 1975) is a Spanish-Filipino pop music singer, a son of Spanish singer Julio Iglesias and Filipina Isabel Preysler. Enrique started his musical career on Mexican label Fonovisa. This helped turn him into one of the most popular artists in Latin America and in the Hispanic American market in the United States, and the biggest seller of Spanish language albums of the 1990s. Before the turn of the millennium, he made a crossover into the mainstream English language market, signing a unique multi-album deal with Universal Music Group for an unprecedented US$50,000,000, with Universal Music Latino to release his Spanish albums and Interscope to release English albums. In 2010, he parted with Interscope and signed with another Universal Music Group label, Universal Republic. Iglesias has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best selling Latin artists of all time. Iglesias has had five Billboard Hot 100 top five singles, including two #1s, and holds the record for producing 22 number 1 Spanish-language singles on the Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks. He has also had ten #1 songs on Billboard's Dance charts, more than any other single male artist. Altogether, Iglesias has amassed 54 #1 hits on the various Billboard charts. He has honorably been named as The King of Latin Pop and The King of Dance according to Billboard. Enrique has been named as the 2nd best Latin artist in the span of 1986-2011 by Billboard only beaten by Luis Miguel. <
