GREATEST OF ALL TIME HOT LATIN SONGS ARTISTS

Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it.

Latin music  is a genre that is used by the music industry as a catch-all term for any music that comes from Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking areas of the world (including Spain and sometimes Portugal), as well as music sung in either language. In the United States, the music industry defines "Latin music" as any recording sung mostly in Spanish regardless of its genre or the artist's nationality.

The real Latin explosion came after the success of few handful of rising stars who shared Latin heritage such as Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony, Enrique Iglesias, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Each of these singers became the bestselling artists and introduced Latin music to the ones who don’t even knew the language.

As per Nielsen’s study of U.S music listeners, 91 percent of the U.S. population listens to music and spends more than 24 hours each week listening.

How it works

The Greatest of All-Time Hot Latin Artists and Songs rankings are based on weekly performance on Hot Latin Songs from its inception. Titles are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates over various periods. Artists are ranked based on a formula blending performance.
