Luis Fonsi is currently on a promo tour in Argentina, where he’s also celebrating his 46th birthday Monday (April 15).
“I LOVE Argentina,” he expressed on Instagram on the eve of his special day, along with a set of photos with his fans and industry friends. He’s also spending the day reposting birthday wishes he’s receiving on social media from artists such as Laura Pausini, and his wife, Águeda López, to name a few.
Meanwhile, in honor of the Puerto Rican act’s birthday, Billboard has put together a poll with all of his No. 1 hits on the Hot Latin Songs chart.
Fonsi’s first No. 1 title arrived in 2000 with the romantic tune “Imaginame Sin Ti,” which topped the chart for two weeks. In 2008, he unleashed “No Me Doy Por Vencido” — a passionate ballad about resilience and not giving up — which spent 19 weeks at No. 1.
His biggest No. 1 hit to date, however, arrived in 2017 with “Despacito,” in which he delivered a more urban and rhythmic approach in collaboration with Daddy Yankee.
“It was just another song in Spanish,” he told Billboard in 2020. “I’ve been doing this for 21 years. It’s just, I’m putting out an album, let me do a new song. This idea pops to my head, then Daddy Yankee jumps on it, it starts to sound really cool. We release it, it becomes a huge hit.”
The “Despacito” remix featuring Justin Bieber spent 56 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs, and also skyrocketed the track to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
“He opened up a lot of doors for us,” Fonsi noted. “I’m really grateful that things just happened in such a beautiful way and all the stars aligned … The whole world was dancing and singing in Spanish, I’m proud of that.”
