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.

Cuando no tengo tus besos
Cómo me duele pensar en ti
Cuando me mata el deseo
Cómo se puede olvidar un amor
Cuando lo llevas en el corazón
Es tan difícil vivir así
Cómo desato las horas
Cuando es tan largo el camino
Cómo conjuro esta soledad
Si sólo sueño contigo
Es tan difícil poder olvidar
Tu piel dormida, tu forma de amar
Es tan difícil perderte
Si estoy muriendo por verte
Devuélveme el amor que un día
Fue todo para mí
Devuélveme las fantasías
Los besos que te di
Devuélveme cada momento
Que tuve junto a ti
Desde el mismo día en que te perdí
Devuélveme cada caricia
La forma en que te amé
Devuélveme las alegrías
Mis sueños y mi fe
Sólo quedan las cenizas
Del fuego de tu amor
Y el dolor inmenso de tu adiós
Cómo me duele el recuerdo
Cuando pronuncio tu nombre
Cómo me duele el atardecer
Cuando no tengo tus noches
Es tan amarga mi desolación
No quedan ganas en el corazón
Tan sólo queda el silencio
Que me desgarra por dentro
Devuélveme el amor que un día
Fue todo para mí
Devuélveme las fantasías
Los besos que te di
Devuélveme cada momento
Que tuve junto a ti
Desde el mismo día en que te perdí
Devuélveme cada caricia
La forma en que te amé
Devuélveme las alegrías
Mis sueños y mi fe
Sólo quedan las cenizas
Del fuego de tu amor
Y el dolor inmenso de tu adiós
