HITTING THE ROAD WITH PITBULL & J BALVIN THIS FALL
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS has made history yet again.
The latest single from the Grammy Award-winning international legend’s tenth full-length record, SEX AND LOVE [Republic Records], “Bailando”, just hit Top 10 at Top 40 radio. This marks the first time a non-English song infiltrated the Top 10 at the format since Los del Rio’s “Macarena” in 1996.
In addition, it clutched #1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart for 16 weeks, making for his 25th No. 1 on the respective chart and the longest run at #1 for any artist in 2014.
“Bailando” stands out as the highest-charting Spanish single in the U.S. to date. Moreover, it reached #1 on iTunes in over 50 countries and held #1 on iTunes in Spain for 21 weeks straight. In Mexico, it is enjoying 13 weeks at #1 on iTunes, while going #1 at National Pop Airplay for 10 consecutive weeks.
Recently, ENRIQUE gave a rousing performance of the song on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, and he’s got a lot more up his sleeve for fans across North America. Right now, he’s preparing for his co-headline tour with Pitbull and J Balvin, which is shaping up to be one of fall’s hottest tours and one of the biggest in his storied career.
Experience ENRIQUE IGLESIAS, “Bailando”, and SEX AND LOVE like never before this fall.
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS remains one of the globe’s most recognizable and revered superstars. This Grammy Award-winning icon recently released his tenth full-length album, SEX AND LOVE. To date, he has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, cementing him as one of the best-selling Spanish artists of all-time.

His total number ones throughout Billboard’s charts exceed 71, and he also is the record-holder for “Most #1 Spanish Language Single” on the Hot Latin Track Charts.
