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.
Los Muchachos De Hoy
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoy con todo el mundo en las manos
Hoy soñamos dos sueños de hoy
Hoy todos distintos why todos iguales
No caminamos sin ideales
Mis sueños a nuestro alcance
No somos maquínas
Tambien nos brotan lagrimas, hoy
Queremos comprender
Sin molestar sin ofender
Hoy, hoy tenemos mucho en que creer
Somos muchachos de hoy
Has de venir con nosotros hoy
Pintamos luces en la ciudad
No te lo pienses te gustara, hoy
Por hoy
Somos un soplo de libertad
Un aire nuevo que respirar
Why los amigos que tu no tienes
Somos muchachos de hoy
Muchachos de hoy
Pero nunca miramos para atras
Somos muchachos de hoy
Muchachos de hoy
Hoy tenemos algo en que creer
Decimos la verdad
Why estamos hartos de esperar
Hoy somos viento que sopla sin cesar
Debemos transmitir
Nuestro entusiasmo por vivir
Hoy con nosotros es facil sonreir
The lyrics of "Los Muchachos De Hoy" by Luis Miguel express the youthful optimism and energy of the present moment. The song celebrates the freedom and limitless possibilities that come with youth, while acknowledging the challenges and setbacks that are also part of the experience. The opening lines set the tone by declaring, "Today we live life, today we have the whole world in our hands." This sense of boundless potential is reinforced by the image of dreaming "two dreams of today," suggesting that there are countless goals and aspirations that can be pursued in the here and now.
As the song progresses, the lyrics touch on themes of individuality and unity. The idea that "we are all different and all the same" reflects the tension between the desire for self-expression and the need to belong to a community. This tension is further explored in lines like "We don't walk without ideals," which suggest that even as young people are experimenting with different identities and lifestyles, they are still driven by a sense of purpose and values. Despite the challenges and setbacks they face, the song encourages the youth to keep pushing forward and to "never look back." The goal is to understand and connect with others without offending or bothering them, while keeping the spirit of hope and belief alive.
Overall, the song is a celebration of youth and all that it represents: passion, energy, creativity, and a willingness to take risks and explore new paths. It acknowledges the challenges and uncertainties that come with this period of life, but ultimately presents a hopeful and positive vision for the future. Its upbeat tempo and catchy melody capture the spirit of youthful optimism and determination.
