Being the son of the legendary Julio Iglesias no doubt fuelled Enrique Iglesias' musical muse, though the Spanish singer quickly carved out his own niche in Latin pop. He secured his first record deal on his own merits (and under a pseudonym), and his 1995 debut sold a million copies in a matter of months. Since branching out into English-language songs—and writing hits for Jennifer Lopez and Clay Aiken—he has sold well over 100 million albums, making him one of the world's most popular entertainers.
