Billboard Top Latin Albums
Billboard Top Latin Albums
Top Latin Albums is a record chart published by Billboard magazine and is labeled as the most important music chart for Spanish language, full-length albums in the American music market. Like all Billboard album charts, the chart is based on sales. Nielsen SoundScan compiles the sales data from merchants representing more than 90 percent of the U.S. music retail market. The sample includes sales at music stores, the music departments of electronics and department stores, direct-to-consumer transactions, and Internet sales of physical albums or digital downloads. A limited array of verifiable sales from concert venues is also tabulated.[1] Before this chart, all Latin music information was featured on the Latin Pop Albums chart, which began in June 29, 1985, and is still running along with the Regional Mexican Albums chart.[2] The Latin Pop Albums chart features music only from the pop genre, while the Regional Mexican Albums chart includes information from different genres like duranguense, norteño, banda and mariachi. The first album to appear at number-one on this chart was Mi Tierra by Gloria Estefan on July 10, 1993.[3] This album spent 58 nonconsecutive weeks at the top of this chart, a record that stands to date. Mexican singersongwriter Marco Antonio Solís holds the record for the most number-one albums by an artist with nine. Fellow Mexican performers Los Temerarios is the group with the most chart-toppers, eight. The late Tejano superstar Selena is the woman with most albums peaking at the top of the chart, with six.[4] Her album Dreaming of You is the only album to peak at number one during three different calendar years (1995–97). The current number-one album, as of the April 18, 2009, issue is Más Adelante by La Arrolladora Banda El Limón.[5] • • • • • • • • • • • • • Luis Miguel (8) Los Temerarios (8) Selena (6) Enrique Iglesias (6) Los Tigres del Norte (6) Marc Anthony (6) Maná (5) Intocable (5) Ricky Martin (4) Shakira (4) Conjunto Primavera (4) Grupo Móntez de Durango (4) Daddy Yankee (4)

According to the RIAA, albums containing more than 50% Spanish language content are awarded with gold certifications (Disco de Oro) for U.S. shipments of 100,000 units; platinum (Disco de Platino) for 200,000 and multi-platinum (Multi-Platino) for 400,000 and following in increments of 200,000 thereafter.[6] In the following table, the certifications shown are standard as any album release in United States: gold certification for sales of 500,000 copies; platinum, for one million units, and multi-platinum for more than one million sold. The only album awarded with the multi-platinum level is Dreaming of You by Selena, with three million albums sold since its debut in 1995. As for the rest, La Historia Continúa... by Marco Antonio Solís and Celestial by RBD, are the only albums without a RIAA certification. Nevertheless, Celestial has sold 900,000 units in United States.
