List of best-selling Latin music artists

Julio Iglesias has been recognized as the best-selling male Latin artist of all time by the Guinness World Record in 2013.[1]

Latin music has an ambiguous meaning in the music industry due to differing definitions of the term "Latin".[2][3] For example, the Latin music market in the United States defines Latin music as any release that is mostly sung in Spanish, regardless of genre or artist nationality, by industry organizations including the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Billboard.[4][5] International organizations and trade groups such as the Latin Recording Academy include Portuguese-language music in the Latin category.[6][7][8] Billboard categorizes an artist as "Latin" if they perform in Spanish or Portuguese.[9]

Music journalists and musicologists define Latin music as musical styles from Spanish-speaking areas of Latin America and from Spain.[10][11] Music from Brazil is usually included in the genre and music from Portugal is occasionally included.[8][12]

Either definition of "Latin music" may be used for inclusion in this list. For an artist to be considered, most of their catalog must be in either Spanish or Portuguese and must have sold at least 10 million copies. This information cannot be officially listed because no organization has recorded global Latin music sales. Only Latin recordings, which are defined as a record with 51% of its content in Spanish or Portuguese,[a] are counted in the certified units table. Instrumental musicians may also be included if they mainly perform any Latin music genre. For recordings with multiple versions, only Spanish and Portuguese version(s) will be counted towards certified units.

The tables are listed with each artist's reported sales figure(s) and their total independently certified units, and are ranked in descending order by reported sales. If two or more artists have the same reported sales, these are then ranked by certified units. The reported sales figure and the total of certified units for each country in the provided sources include sales of albums, singles, compilation albums, music videos, and downloads of singles and full-length albums. Sales figures, such as those from SoundScan, which are sometimes published by Billboard magazine, have not been included in the certified units column.
