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 simple estrellita de mar es un motivo
Escribir un poema es fácil si existe un motivo
Hasta puedo crear mundos nuevos en la fantasía
Unos ojos bañados de luz son un motivo
Unos labios queriendo besar son un motivo
Y me quedo mirándote aquí, encontrándote tantos motivos
Yo concluyo que mi motivo mejor eres tú
Es un motivo
Son un motivo
Escribir un poema es fácil si existe un motivo
Hasta puedo crear mundos nuevos en la fantasía
Unos ojos bañados de luz son un motivo
Unos labios queriendo besar son un motivo
Y me quedo mirándote aquí, encontrándote tantos motivos
Y concluyo qye mi motivo mejor eres tú
The lyrics of Luis Miguel's song "Motivos" explore the idea that inspiration can be found in everyday objects and experiences. The first two lines describe a rose painted blue and a small seashell as two simple examples of things that can inspire. The next lines state that writing a poem is easy if one has a reason or inspiration, and that through imagination even new worlds can be created. The following stanza talks about how eyes full of light and lips ready to kiss are sources of inspiration, and the chorus repeats the phrase "son un motivo" meaning "they are a reason/inspiration."
In the last stanza, the singer reveals who his true inspiration is by saying "I am here watching you, finding so many reasons, and I conclude that my best inspiration is you." The song is sweet, simple, and romantic, and the message is clear that love can be a powerful source of creativity and inspiration.

A rose painted in blue
it is a reason
a simple starfish
it is a reason
It is easy to write a poem
if there is a reason
I can even create new worlds
in the fantasy
A pair of eyes bathed with light
it is a reason
one pair of lips wanting to kiss
it is a reason
And I stand here watching you
finding in you so many reasons
I conclude
that you are my best reason
It is a reason
they are a reason
It is easy to write a poem
if there is a reason
I can even create new worlds
in the fantasy
You are my best reason.

Esta canción se la cante a mi ex esposa el día de nuestra boda, hoy en día la distancia nos separa, pero se la volvería a cantar todos los días de mi existencia hasta que el tiempo me lo permitiera.😞😞😞☹️

Me apena leer tu comentario, amar de esa manera es maravilloso grandioso, porque ese AMOR ES DEL BUENO ES UN AMOR PUERO ENTREGADO recibe un abrazo a la distancia por tener la valentía y coraje de expresar tu sentimiento por tu honestidad, Dios te bendiga e ilumine por siempre a tu vida, no se cuales pudieron ser los motivos de tu distanciamiento con tu esposa, solo uds lo sabrán, tampoco sé, si de ese amor hay hijos.... Si los hay que sean tu motivo de seguir siendo ese padre grande corazón y los guíes con amor y siembre en ellos la honestidad y gratitud que un ser humano debe sentir... Mencionas que volverías a dedicarle canción...ojola encontraras a tu alma gemela que este a la altura de tus sentimientos, deseo éxitos y que encuentres felicidad y alegría a tu vida
