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.
Soy Lo Prohibido
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soy lo prohibido
Soy esa fiebre de tu ser
Que te domina sin querer, soy lo prohibido
Soy esa noche de placer
La de la entrega sin papel, soy tu castigo
Porque en tu falsa intimidad
En cada abrazo que le das, sueñas conmigo
Soy el pecado que te dio nueva ilusión en el amor
Soy lo prohibido
Soy la aventura que llegó para ayudarte a continuar
En tu camino
Soy ese beso que se da, sin que se pueda comentar
Soy ese nombre que jamás fuera de aquí pronunciarás
Soy ese amor que negarás para salvar tu dignidad
Soy lo prohibido
Soy el pecado que te dio nueva ilusión en el amor
Soy lo prohibido
Soy la aventura que llegó para ayudarte a continuar
En tu camino
Soy ese beso que se da, sin que se pueda comentar
Soy ese nombre que jamás fuera de aquí pronunciarás
Soy ese amor que negarás para salvar tu dignidad
Soy lo prohibido
In this sultry ballad, Luis Miguel sings about being the forbidden love of someone's life. The lyrics describe him as a vice that his lover cannot let go of, a fever that dominates them without intention, and the embodiment of pleasure, as well as punishment. He is the sin that gives the illusion of new hope in love, the adventure that arrived to help his lover continue on their journey, and the kiss or name that they can never admit to saying out loud. However, Miguel's lover must deny this forbidden love in order to maintain their dignity.
Overall, the song depicts a tumultuous, passionate affair that is so intense that it is forbidden. The lyrics emphasize the tension between desire and propriety and show the consequences of succumbing to this temptation. It is a song that evokes strong emotions and speaks to the human experience of craving what is deemed unacceptable.
