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.

Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
una razon para quererme
o para olvidarme
Pides cariño,
pides olvido,
si te conviene
no llames corazon
De mi pasado preguntas todo,
que como fue
Si antes de amar
debe tenerse fe
Dar por un querer
la vida misma sin morir
eso es cariño,
no lo que hay en ti
Yo para querer
no necesito una razon
me sobra mucho pero mucho
corazón
Te vas porque yo quiero que te vayas
A la hora que yo quiera te detengo,
Yo se que mi cario te hace falta
Porque quieras o no
Yo soy tu dueño
Yo quiero que te vayas por el mundo
Y quiero que conozcas mucha gente
Yo quiero que te besen otros labios
Para que me compares
Hoy, como siempre
Si encuentras un amor que te comprenda
Y sientas que te quiera mas que nadie
Entonces yo dare la media vuelta
Y me ire con el sol
Cuando muera la tarde
Amorcito corazn,
Yo tengo tentación de un beso,
Que se prenda en el calor
De nuestro gran amor, mi amor.
Yo quiero ser,
Un solo ser
y estar contigo,
Te quiero ver,
en el querer
para soar.
En la dulce sensación
De un beso mordelón quisiera,
Amorcito corazón
Decirte mi pasión
por ti;
Compañeros en el bien y el mal,
Ni los años nos podán pesar,
Amorcito corazón, serás mi amor...
The song "Mexican Medley" by Luis Miguel is a combination of several classic Mexican songs with different themes such as love, unrequited love, and passion. The first stanza talks about how the person addressed in the song is asking about the singer's past and whether there was a reason for them to love or forget him. The singer insists that he doesn't need a reason to love someone as he has plenty of love in his heart. The second stanza speaks on how the singer wants to be with the person he loves and wants them to experience the world. The singer even wants the person love to experience other people besides himself so they can compare the feeling.
The third and final verse is a declaration of love where the singer confesses that he is tempted to kiss his lover and wants to be with them. The chorus repeats the phrase "amorcito corazón" which means "little love of my heart" in English. It's a term of endearment used in Latin America. It’s a very endearing song that speaks of love and passion.
