Well about the Selfies argument. Doing Selfies is ridiculous so I haven't expected a masterpiece when I heard about the Selfie-song :lol: :P :heehee:

I'll never understand how this became popular enough to be a #1, probably the worst song of the year for me, and after Latch and La La La, I had high hopes. But that "money on my mind" terrible falsetto really makes me wince every time I hear it. Unbearable.

Biography

At the dawn of the new millennium, Enrique Iglesias was the best-selling Latin recording artist in the world. The son of multi-million-selling singer Julio Iglesias, Enrique was born in Madrid, Spain, where he lived with his mother, his brother Julio, and his sister Chabeli. In 1982, his mother sent them to live in Miami with their father. While there, Enrique was exposed to three different cultures and musical influences: Hispanic, European, and American.

 

Iglesias' own career started when he was still attending Gulliver Private School, a very prestigious school in Miami. He made his singing debut in a production of Hello, Dolly, after which he began practicing his singing without his parents knowing. After a year studying business at the University of Miami, he decided to follow his passion for music. In 1995, he sang in person for his soon-to-be manager, who at Iglesias' insistence of not wanting to use his family name, first shopped his demos as an unknown Central American singer named Enrique Martinez. It wasn't until he earned a record deal with Fonovisa that Enrique told his father and mother of his aspirations. Then he flew to Toronto, where no one knew him and he could concentrate just on music, to record for five months.

 

That first album, Enrique Iglesias (1995), sold more than a million copies in three months (it earned him his first gold record in Portugal in a mere seven days) and to date has sold more than six million worldwide. The second album, Vivir (1997), enjoyed global sales of more than five million discs and launched his first world tour, backed by sidemen for Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Joel. In a mere three years, Iglesias had sold more than 17 million Spanish-language albums, more than anyone else during that period. (The U.S. was his biggest market.) He also won the 1996 Grammy for Best Latin Performer, 1996's Billboard Artist of the Year, Billboard's Album of the Year for Vivir, two American Music Awards, a World Music Award, eight Premio Lo Nuestro awards, two ACE Performer of the Year awards, and ASCAP prizes for Best Composer of 1996 and 1997, in addition to countless accolades around the world.

 

With 1998's Cosas del Amor, Iglesias moved to more mature content; his earlier material had been written when he was 17 years old. Then came Enrique, his first Interscope album and first in English. It achieved gold or platinum status in 32 countries and brought his global album sales to a total of more than 23 million. In 2001 he released the follow-up, Escape. Iglesias alternated Spanish- and English-language albums during the next two years, first offering the ballad collection Quizás in 2002, then the mainstream English record 7 in 2003. Four years later the single "Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)" announced the coming of his 2007 album, Insomniac.

 

After a Spanish compilation in 2008, Enrique released Euphoria in 2010, which gained attention on the strength of the singles "I Like It" and "Heartbeat." Besides touring, he released three non-album singles in 2012. In 2013 he began to issue pre-release singles for his next full-length. There were four in all, three in collaboration with other artists — "Loco" (featuring Romeo Santos), "Heart Attack" and "El Perdedor" (featuring Marc Antonio Solís), and "I'm a Freak" (featuring Pitbull) — all of which charted. The album, Sex and Love, was released in March of 2014. - iTunes

Album Discussion Here

I can't even at the people who think the falsetto ruins this song.

Enrique is one of those artists who has never made a tune

 

That Heartbeat song came close I guess

I don't like how creepy Enrique has become. he needs to stay away from Pitbull
Just heard selfies for the first time...is psy credited or is he suing them...???

Edited by The Weasel

Continuing me just being the opposite to everyone else in this thread, I love this. But then I love most generic music, I'd happily have the period when songs like 'Dynamite' smashed back again over most of this year's big successes.
If you watch the stream you can hear Jameela taking over the song. They're playing a live lounge next apparently.

Edited by RobinJuanPersie

How is her meant to do a live lounge? Does he just sit at a computer and press the play button haha :lol:
Yay for another Live Lounge cover ~ At least this one is kinda related to the chart. (Good cover though, 'My Love' and 'Hideaway' work well together).
I LOVE this cover
