Discography

1995–1997
Enrique Iglesias ![]()
On July 12, 1995, Iglesias released his first album titled Enrique Iglesias,
a collection of light rock ballads, including such mega-hits as "Si Tú
Te Vas", "Experiencia Religiosa", and others. The record sold
half a million copies in its
first week, a rare accomplishment then for an album recorded in a language other than English.
His song "Por Amarte" was included in Televisa's telenovela Marisol, but with a twist: instead of Por amarte daría mi vida (To love you, I'd give my life), the words were Por amarte Marisol, moriría (To love you, Marisol, I'd die). The CD also yielded Italian and Portuguese editions of the album, with most of the songs translated into those languages.
Five singles released from this album, such as "Por Amarte", "No Llores Por Mí", and "Trapecista" topped the Latin charts. The album went on to win Iglesias a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance.
1997–1998
Vivir ![]()
In 1997, Iglesias' star continued to rise with the release of Vivir (To Live),
which put him up with other English language music superstars in sales for that
year. The album also included a cover version of the Yazoo song "Only You",
translated into Spanish as "Solo en Tí".
