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.
Tu Mirada
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Donde no hay nadie más que yo
Donde las luces no iluminan nada
Entre el vacío y el temor
Los sentimientos y el dolor
Lo único que tengo es tu mirada
Que me sigue dando alas
Que le da vida a todo
Y me llena de esperanzas
Tu mirada enamorada
En mis sueños enredada
Es pasión envuelta en fuego
Como viento entre las llamas
Yeah
Aunque es difícil de entender
La soledad es un placer
Mi compañera, amiga de mi alma
Pero sí sé, que estas ahí
Me entregas tanto, soy feliz
Lo único que quiero es tu mirada
Tu mirada enamorada
Que me sigue dando alas
Que le da vida a todo
Y me llena de esperanzas
Tu mirada enamorada
En mis sueños enredada
Es pasión envuelta en fuego
Como viento entre las llamas
Yeah
Eh-eh
Oh
Tu mirada enamorada
Que me sigue dando alas
Que le da vida a todo
Por que sin ti no soy nada
Eh-eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
The lyrics to Luis Miguel's heartfelt ballad "Tu Mirada" captures the essence of unrequited love and the power of a lover's gaze. The singer describes a state of deep sorrow and loneliness in a corner of his heart where no one else exists except him. Unlit and empty, the only thing that gives him hope and purpose is the enamored gaze of his lover. He admits that despite solitude being a comforting companion it's not enough to ease his pain. However, his lover's gaze is a source of inspiration, the wings that lift him from the darkness. The words paint a picture of a person who is lost and alone, but saved by the undying love of a partner.
Throughout the song, the singer repeatedly expresses his admiration for his lover's gaze, describing it as a life-giving force that can conquer overwhelming odds. Her eyes symbolize a passion that burns so brightly and with such intensity that it can resist any challenge, penetrates through his every dream, and leaves him wanting more. Miguel's message is that a single, potent gaze from someone you love can make all the difference, even when life seems hopeless.
