Notes
- ^ In the United States, Billboard and the RIAA recognizes an album as "Latin" if 51% or more of its content is sung in the Spanish language.[30][31] The Latin Recording Academy extends this definition of "Latin music" to include Portuguese-language records as well as other languages and dialects of Ibero-America such as Catalan, Nahuatl, Quechua, Galician, Valencia, and Mayan. The Latin Recording Academy also includes instrumental Latin recordings performed by Ibero-American musicians.[32][33] Note that Spain and Portugal are included under this definition of Ibero-America.
