Winner of the GRAMMY Award for the Best Latin Pop Performer, Enrique Iglesias is the most impressive Hispanic phenomenon of the last 25 years and he appears to be the greatest international star in this next decade.
Born on May 8, 1975, in Madrid, Spain, Enrique Iglesias began his career in 1995, when he was barely 20 years old and made his appearance in the music world with his first album, which he had been secretly planning since he was 16 without anyone, not even his family, knowing.
Enrique Iglesias is a perpetual jokester, sportsmanlike, enthusiastic, an old-fashioned romantic, an optimist, a devotee of the cinema, a loyal television viewer and an inveterate consumer of any and all music that falls into his hands.

Just to prove there's no such thing as bad publicity, hip-hop star Eminem's year of controversy has helped make him the biggest selling artist of the year in Canada.
According to SoundScan Canada's retail record sales data, Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP" is the best selling album of 2000, moving 679,567 copies -- despite (or perhaps partly because of) a move by Canadian politicians to ban the rapper from performing in Toronto this summer.
