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.
Lupe
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uñas rojas, pelo negro
Labios de grosella
Lupe
Piel de luna, piernas largas
y ojos de pantera,
De enredadera, de enredadera.
Una ola desatada
Unas bocas que se rozan
Unas manos que se tocan.
y el sabor a amor me envenenó
Suavemente entro en mi corazón
Una nueva y dulce sensación
Por tu culpa vivo sin control
Lupe
Los anillos de Saturno
Bailan sí tu bailas
Lupe
Las pirámides de Egipto
Tiemblan si las miras
Si tu las miras
Si tu las miras
Un silencio, una palabra
Una ola desatada
Unas bocas que se rozan
Unas manos que se tocan
y el sabor a amor me enveneno
Suavemente entro a mi corazón
Una nueva y dulce sensación
Por tu culpa vivo sin control
Una fuerza que me arrastra
Un diluvio que me inunda
El mercurio se dispara
y la fiebre me devora
Lupe
Infinitamente bella
Mi súper estrella
Lupe
Enigmática y magnética
Loco por ella
Lupe
Mi cabeza en tu cadera
Bajo las palmeras
Lupe
El amor ya no es amor
Si no es contigo
Lupe Lupe Lupe
Lupe Lupe Lupe
