And that tension we were talking about? There’s a choice turn of phrase on an alternative cut that seems more in-step, but make sure there’s no one of a sensitive disposition in earshot… 4: I Like It (featuring Pitbull) With rapper Ludacris joining him on the video, the mix paid dividends with a return to the US Top 10 and strong sales worldwide. One of Enrique’s biggest hits of the 2010s, the tension between the song’s erotic charge and what radio programmers would be happy to play is palpable in this urgent dance track. The second single from Enrique’s English-language debut, Enrique, followed the euphoric pop formula established by the first – “Bailamos.” It came from the same writing team of Paul Barry and Mark Taylor, who had scored the biggest hit of Cher’s lengthy career with one of the world’s best-selling singles ever: “Believe.” “Rhythm Divine,” known as “Ritmo Total” in Latin markets, made the Top 40 in the US and topped the charts in Spain.Ĭlick to load video 5: Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You) (featuring Ludacris & DJ Frank E) Listen to the best songs by Enrique Iglesias on Apple Music and Spotify. Today we celebrate his birthday (May 8, 1975) and pick 20 of the best Enrique Iglesias songs, demonstrating just how that story unfolded.
With plenty of hit albums, countless music videos, and dozens of massive singles, Enrique has stayed one sharp step ahead of pop’s fickle marketplace to become one of the best-selling Spanish artists of all time. But at the end of the 20th century, a Latin-pop track buried away on a largely forgotten Will Smith movie soundtrack became a surprise international smash, and then… it just continued.
Pop dynasties are notoriously unreliable when it comes to launching lasting careers, so Enrique Iglesias, the son of Europe’s most successful singer-songwriter of all time, Julio Iglesias, didn’t appear to be any sort of candidate for the spectacular career that followed.
