The son of Europe’s most successful singer-songwriter of all time, Julio Iglesias, Enrique Iglesias, didn’t seem to be any kind of prospect for the extraordinary career that followed since pop dynasties are notoriously unreliable when it comes to starting long-lasting careers. But around the turn of the century, a Latin-pop song hidden away on a mostly forgotten Will Smith film soundtrack became an unexpected worldwide hit, and then… it just kept going. Enrique has become one of the best-selling Spanish musicians of all time because of his several big albums, innumerable music videos, and dozens of huge songs. He has also managed to keep one step ahead of pop’s fickle market.
1.Divine Rhythm
Enrique’s second song from his English-language debut, Enrique, continued the exuberant pop formula started by the album’s lead hit, “Bailamos.” The song’s authors, Paul Barry and Mark Taylor, also gave Cher’s illustrious career’s biggest success, “Believe,” one of the best-selling songs in history. “Rhythm Divine,” also known as “Ritmo Total” in Latin countries, reached the US Top 40 and was the number-one song in Spain.
2.Not in Love (featuring Kelis)
By 2004, Enrique had established himself as a chart regular, and the promotion for his seventh studio album, 7, was winding down when this track was made available as the album’s last single. The urban-flavored romp exceeded expectations when it reached the UK Top 5 after Kelis added her vocals to an enlarged version of the song.
3.Heartbeat (with Nicole Scherzinger) (featuring Nicole Scherzinger)
Enrique’s release schedule expanded as music distribution got more complicated, with various areas seeing dramatically different degrees of success. Perhaps it seemed inevitable that this electro ballad would go well in Europe because Nicole Scherzinger’s post-Pussycat Dolls career there was more successful.
4.The Radio Subeme
Enrique has consistently switched between English and Spanish tracks throughout his career, but this 2017 Latin mega-hit genuinely bridged the gap and created waves virtually everywhere.
5.Sacred Experience
Enrique was making a major sensation in the Latin market long before he sought to break into the international charts. The Lo Nuestro Awards selected this 1995 hit, which was taken from his self-titled debut album, the Pop Song Of The Year.
