Who do you think will shout victory on April 28? Will it be the shaky diva Shakira or the soul singer Enrique Iglesias? The final verdict depends on your votes!
The two indeed have a close fight in the nominations this year, as Enrique Iglesias tops the list with 14 nominations while Shakira got the second spot with 13 nominations and Chino y Nacho, the Venezuelan reggaeton duo landed on the third list with 9 nominations.
Enrique Iglesias album entitled Euphoria which was released in 2010 lifted his career on to a higher level and tagged him to be one of the best Latin artists for the year. This album is also his very first bilingual album with seven original English songs and six original Spanish songs.
The first song in the album "I Like It", which was released on May 2010 and features the rapper Pitbull, became number one in the US Billboard Hot 100. After few weeks, it soared high to number 1 on the Billboard Hot/Dance Club Play making him the male singer with most number one hits in the Billboard and has the chance to tie with the two most renowned artists in the music industry: Prince and the legendary Michael Jackson.
On January 2011, another song from his album Euphoria made it again in the top ten on the Billboard charts after just a week of airing. As of March 2011, it soared high and peaked at number 1 on the US Pop Songs Chart, making Enrique as the only male single artist to have 8 number one songs on almost all billboard charts. And this time, he already passed by Prince and Michael Jackson. Wow! Really amazing. At 35, and still a bachelor, he is now a living legend in the music industry.
