In 2014 he had a global mega hit with the Spanish song Bailando. The song was a record breaking chart topper in a lot of countries and was the first Spanish song in the US top 10 since the Macarena. The music video was the first Spanish video to reach a billion views on YouTube currently over three billion views.Enriquo Iglesias? He was like some big heartthrob but haven't seen or heard of him in years, (sorry if already mentioned, haven't read all of last thread)
The huge success of that song seemed to convince him to focus Spanish language music as well as well as stand alone singles. For the next few years he would release one Spanish song a year that would usually top the charts for most of the year in a lot of Latin and European countries and get billions of views and streams. Since the UK at this point didn't play no English music that was not novelty songs we kinda missed out on this phase of his career.
Enrique's approach during this era was the template for Luis Fonsi's Despacito which thanks to the remix with Justin Bieber ended shattering most of Enrique's records and crossing over even more including in Britain. A lot of people thought he'd capitalise on this but as others said he started a family at this point so even his one single a year approach fell by the wayside.
Late last year he finally got around to releasing a full album. It was a suprise drop and he did no promo for it but because it including the aforementioned string of Latin hits which count towards an albums streams it was technically in the top 10 albums of the year. He's said he's releasing one more album before he focuses on just singles and touring.
