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.
por que te conoci
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aprisiona el pensamiento
El veneno de tus besos es la miel
Que llevo adentro
Como un ave a la deriva
Que se pierde mar de llanto
Tu cariño no se borra
¿Por qué te conocí?
Si tengo que vivir
Sin ti
En la terrible soledad
Angustia de vivir
Así
Te quiero mas que nunca
Y ya vez
Te fuiste de mi lado
La vida nos unió
Después nos separó
Al fin
Pero ¿por qué te conocí?
Si tengo que vivir sin ti
Acuérdate de mi
Igual que yo de ti
Mi amor
Dios quiera que algún día
Tu camino sea mi camino
Pero ¿por qué te conocí?
Si tengo que vivir sin ti
Dios quiera que algún día
Tu camino sea mi camino
Pero ¿por qué te conocí?
Si tengo que vivir sin ti

He starts by saying that the memories of this person are like a phantom that traps his thoughts, and the poison of her kisses still lingers within him. He describes feeling lost like a bird adrift on a sea of tears, and the love he shared with this person cannot be erased, which hurts him deeply. He asks the question of why he met this person, if he must now live without her, in the terrible loneliness that he feels. He emphasizes that he loves her more than ever and that she left his side, and although their lives once united, they are now separated. He wonders why fate brought them together if they were only to be torn apart, and he hopes that one day their paths will cross again.
The lyrics of this song are quite poignant, as they capture the pain and frustration of love lost.
