Enrique Iglesias is back on the top 10 on Billboard’s Latin Pop Albums chart as his 12th studio album, Final, Vol. 2, debuts at No. 6 on the April 13-dated ranking.
The album, released March 29, via Sony Music Latin, marks the global pop singer’s final album, as reported, and brings together a diverse display of collaborators and genres, flexing through his classic pop, reggae-pop, bachata, and even a pop English-language collab with country singer-songwriter Miranda Lambert.
Final, Vol. 2 starts at No. 6 on Latin Pop Albums with 3,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. during the March 29-April 4 tracking week, according to Luminate.
