1000 No. 1s Video Series Day 28:
Enrique Iglesias Talks About Topping the Hot 100


2011 was the year that Billboard celebrated the 1000th No. 1 song on the Hot 100. As we look back on this year in music, we're celebrating that milestone with a month-long series of videos --- one for each day of December -- chatting with 31 of the hitmakers who rocketed to the top of the chart since its inception in 1958. SEE THE FULL CHART HERE. [1]

On day 28 of our 1,000 Hot No. 1s video series, we move on from yesterday's '90s Aerosmith charttopper, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," [2] and fast-forward to a pair of millennial pop hits ballad as we chat with Enrique Iglesias [3] about his No. 1s, "Be With You" and "Bailamos." "Since I was a little kid, I was always infatuated with the charts" Iglesias says. "I remember the first time I saw my song go No. 1. It felt incredible. . . I was so excited that I kept that page [of Billboard]. I think I framed it," he laughs.

"You gotta go with your gut," Iglesias says of letting his instincts guide his song choices. He must have a pretty good sense of intuition. "Bailamos" spent two weeks at No. 1 beginning Sept. 4, 1999 [4]. "Be With You" topped that feat a few months later, spending three weeks at the top beginning June 24, 2000 [5]

Be sure to come back tomorrow (Dec. 28) for the next 1000 No. 1s video: Richard Marx [6] talks about his No. 1s, "Hold On To The Nights," "Right Here Waiting" and "Endless Summer Nights."
