Having sold 40 million albums in little more than a decade, Enrique Iglesias is one of the most successful artists in pop music history. The Madrid-born, Miami-raised singer began writing and recording songs as a teenager, although he did not use his real name until he secured his first recording contract. His self-titled debut album sold more than a million copies in the first three months after its release, and the follow-up, 1997's "Vivir," broke into the U.S. Top 40. Within three years, Iglesias became the biggest-selling Spanish-language singer in the world; he leads all artists with 16 No. 1 Billboard Latin hits.

Iglesias expanded his audience beyond the Latin market in 1999 with "Enrique," his first English-language CD, which was certified double platinum and included the mega-hits "Bailamos," "The Rhythm Divine," "Be With You" and "Could I Have This Kiss Forever." "Enrique" was followed by "Escape," featuring the hits "Hero" and "Escapar"; the Spanish-language album "Quizas"; Iglesias' seventh album, "7"; and the recently released "Insomniac," crafted over a three-year period with stops in Miami, Los Angeles and Sweden.
