Notably, his famous father, Julio Iglesias, also secures a spot on the songs list, at No. 43 with his 1987 hit, "Lo Mejor de Tu Vida."
Santos' 2013 smash "Propuesta Indecente" is the top song since the inception of Hot Latin Songs, largely due to the sheer number of weeks that it spent on the chart. The track more than doubled the previous record of the longest-charting song, logging 125 weeks on the ranking from August 2013 to December 2015. (Prince Royce's 2012 hit "Incondicional" is second with 62 weeks; per chart rules, after 52 charting weeks, a song must stay in the top five to remain on the chart.) Remarkably, "Propuesta" spent 123 of its 125 weeks in the top five, thanks to its continued strong airplay, sales and streams. Its popularity is also reflected by the more than 1 billion views for its video on YouTube.

Methodology: The Greatest of All Time Top Latin Songs and Top Latin Songs Artists rankings are based on weekly performance on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart, from its Oct. 4, 1986, inception through Oct. 1, 2016. Songs on the all-time chart are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates over various periods. Artists on the all-time chart are ranked based on the combined point totals, as outlined above, of all their Hot Latin Songs chart entries.
