Mexican singer Luis Miguel became the first non-crossover Latin artist to have an album be certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with his eighth studio album, Romance (1991).

Through the 1990s, Latin pop and tejano music remained popular in the Mexican-American music market. In 1991, Mexican singer Luis Miguel released his eighth studio album, Romance, which sparked a re-emergence of the bolero genre and garnered popularity in the United States. The album peaked at number 14 on the Billboard 200, and, on August 24, 1992, it became the first non-crossover Latin album to be certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It was later certified platinum on November 7, 1994, with 1 million certified units.
