Ricky Martin: The “explosive” performer who brought Latin Pop to the global forefront with “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” He was all about the dance and the energy.
Enrique Iglesias: The “King of Latin Pop” who focused more on romantic ballads and mid-tempo “club” tracks. He has more #1 hits on the Billboard Latin charts than any other artist.
Comparison: Ricky Martin was a cultural “event” that opened the door. Enrique Iglesias is the “marathon runner” who maintained consistent chart dominance for two decades.
