From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Billboard Latin Albums chart , published in Billboard magazine , is a record chart that features Latin music sales information. The data is compiled by Nielsen SoundScan from a sample that includes music stores, music departments at electronics and department stores, Internet sales (both physical and digital) and verifiable sales from concert venues in the United States.[ 1]
The first number-one album of the decade was Dos Mundos: Evolución by Mexican singer Alejandro Fernández . The following number-one album was The Last by Aventura , that spent six non-consecutive weeks at the top of the chart in 2010 and ended the year as the best-selling Latin album.[ 2] Euphoria , a bilingual album released by Spanish singer-songwriter Enrique Iglesias , peaked at number ten in the Billboard 200 chart and spent eleven weeks at the top of the Latin Albums chart. Iglesias earned the Latin Artist of the Year award at the Billboard Latin Music Awards , a category that combines both sales and airplay, while the aforementioned album won for Latin Album and Latin Pop Album of the Year.[ 3] Poquita Ropa by Guatemalan performer Ricardo Arjona debuted atop the chart and also peaked at number one in Mexico .[ 4] Mexican singer-songwriter Marco Antonio Solís reached the top of the chart for the tenth time with his studio album En Total Plenitud , the most for any performer. The album received four nominations for the 12th Latin Grammy Awards .[ 5]
Ricky Martin released his sixth number-one album on the chart, Música + Alma + Sexo , on February 2011. The album also reached a peak of three in the Billboard 200 .[ 6] Mexican singer Gerardo Ortíz peaked for the first time at number one in the chart with the live album Morir y Existir: En Vivo , two weeks after surviving an ambush attempt in Mexico that left his cousin and business manager dead.[ 7] Ortíz reached number one for the second time with the album Entre Dios y el Diablo .[ 8] Prince Royce 's self-titled debut album reached the top of the chart 58 weeks after its release.[ 9] Mexican rock band Maná debuted atop the chart with their eight studio album Drama y Luz , while his lead single "Lluvia al Corazón " also debuted at number one in the Billboard Latin Songs .[ 10]
