Cautivo, the 12th studio album by Puerto Rican performer Chayanne became his third number-one set on this list.^[5]

Fijación Oral Vol. 1 by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira spent 17 weeks at number one on the chart. Despite a ban by retail chain Ritmo Latino, the album had the largest sales week for a Spanish-language album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking in 1991, with 157,000 copies sold, which led to a first-ever debut by a Latin album at number four on Billboard 200, surpassing Ricky Martin's Almas del Silencio, which was the previous record holder with 65,000 units in 2003.^[6] This album won five Latin Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year,^[7] and also received the Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.^[8]
