[edit] Compositions
Iglesias either wrote or co-wrote every track on the album, and has said that for many of the tracks on the album he started out simply with titles that he later based the songs on. The first song to use this method was "Don't Turn Off the Lights", which was originally going to be the title of the album and the first single off the album. Iglesias also stated that he wrote many songs for the album, but picking the ones he considered to be the very best. "Hero" Was co-written by Iglesias and New Zealand artist Mase Shaw, one of the larger hits off of the album.
[edit] Chart reception
Escape debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, his then highest debut on the chart, selling 267,000 copies in its first week. Simultaneously, "Hero" topped the UK charts, making Iglesias the only Latin artist to have a #1 album and #1 single on the charts as well as the first act in five years. It was the second highest seller, in the United Kingdom, beaten only by Robbie Williams's Escapology. It was also the best selling album of 2002 in Australia. The album also performed well throughout the world, being certified triple-platinum in the United States,[3] quadruple-platinum in the United Kingdom,[4] 5 × platinum in Canada and Australia,[5][6] and platinum in Germany.[7] as well as reaching Platinum or Gold certification in 35 other countries around the world.
