Despite recording only in Spanish, he continued to be the best selling Latin artist in the 1990s, and was credited for popularizing the bolero genre into the mainstream market. He has sold around 60 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling Latin music artists.
Latin pop music, along with his personal life and showmanship on stage, has made Luis Miguel popular for nearly his entire career, which started in Mexico in 1982. Having won his first Grammy Award at the age of fourteen for his duet "Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" with Sheena Easton, he is the youngest male artist in music history to have received this accolade. In 1991, the RIAA recognized the high sales for his 1991 album Romance, itself being the third best-selling music album in Mexico, and one of the best-selling Spanish language albums of all time. He was the first Latin artist to have been awarded two Platinum certified Spanish-language albums in the United States with ‘‘Romance’’ and ‘‘Segundo Romance’’ the latter earning him 35 platinum records throughout Central and South America. He is also recognized by Billboard, as the artist with the most top 10 hits on the Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. His album Complices was released in 2008 and peaked at No.10 on the Billboard 200; it is the highest position a fully Spanish composed album has reached. His most recent album ¡México Por Siempre! was released in 2017, and it earned him his second No. 1 on the Billboard Regional Mexican Albums and achieved double platinum status.
Luis Miguel is also known for his high-grossing live performances. He is the first-highest grossing Latin touring artist since Boxscore began tracking touring data in 1990, with a towering total of $278.5 million. With the Luis Miguel Tour, which took place in 2010, he visited 22 countries in North America, South America and Europe, where he performed in a three-year span with a total of 223 shows all over the world, making it the longest and highest-grossing tour ever made by a Latin artist. He also holds the record for the most consecutive presentations in the Auditorio Nacional (National Auditorium) with a total of 30 consecutive concerts as well as the record for the most presentations in the same venue with a total of 258 concerts.
Cruz de Olvido
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me iré sin ti
Me alejaré de aquí
Con un dolor dentro de mí
Te juro corazón
Que no es falta de amor
Pero es mejor así
Un día comprenderás
Que lo hice por tu bien
Que todo fue por ti
La barca en que me iré
Lleva una cruz de olvido
Lleva una cruz de amor
Y en esa cruz sin ti
Me moriré de hastío
La barca en que me iré
Lleva una cruz de olvido
Lleva una cruz de amor
Y en esa cruz sin ti
Me moriré de hastío
Culpable no he de ser
De que por mí
Puedas llorar
Mejor será partir
Prefiero así
Que hacerte mal
Yo sé que sufriré
Mi nave cruzará
Un mar de soledad
Adiós, adiós mi bien
Recuerda que te amé
Que siempre te he de amar
La barca en que me iré
Lleva una cruz de olvido
Lleva una cruz de amor
Y en esa cruz sin ti
Me moriré de hastío
La barca en que me iré
Lleva una cruz de olvido
Lleva una cruz de amor
Y en esa cruz sin ti
Me moriré de hastío
Lleva una cruz de amor
Y en esa cruz sin ti
Me moriré de hastío
The lyrics to Luis Miguel's song Cruz de Olvido is a tragic love story about a man who knows it's time to leave his lover. The song is riddled with complex emotions as the singer is torn between his love for his partner and his knowledge that it's better to part ways. He speaks about how it hurts him to leave and how he will miss his lover, but he also states that it's for the best. He assures his lover that it's not a lack of love on his part but rather the best choice for both of them.
The second half of the song takes a darker turn as he speaks of his eventual death. He talks about a boat that will carry him away, but it's not just any boat. This boat carries a cross of love and forgetfulness. On this boat, he will die of boredom and emptiness without his lover. He says that he's not to blame for his lover's tears and suffering, and he's leaving to spare her the pain of his departure.
The song beautifully captures the feeling of heartache and loss, and the complexity of love and its consequences. It is a song that speaks of the pain of parting and the sorrow of leaving the one you love.

Con un dolor dentro de mi.
Te juro corazon que no es falta de amor

Pocos los intérpretes que se pueden dar el lujo de cantar cualquier género y que gusten, Luis Miguel puede cantar lo que quiera y hacerlo suyo....
