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.

Of Final, Vol. 2’s first-week sum, streaming activity provides 2,000 units, which equates to 2.47million official on-demand U.S. audio and video streams of the album’s songs. Traditional album sales contribute 1,000 units, with the remaining balance owed to a negligible amount of track-equivalent album units.
On Latin Pop Albums (as well as Top Latin Albums) one unit equals to one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.
With Final, Vol. 2, Iglesias scores his 13th top 10 and first since the set’s prequel, Final (Vol. 1) which took him to a No. 2 debut in 2021. In total, nine out of those top 10 albums hit No. 1 on Latin Pop Albums, including the 33-week champ Sex and Love in 2014.The latter ties with Juan Gabriel’s Los Duo 2 for the sixth-most weeks atop Latin Pop Albums since the tally launched in 1985.
Elsewhere, Final, Vol. 2 opens at No. 47 on Top Latin Albums, his 13th career entry there.
Final, Vol. 2 was preceded by three songs across Billboard’s charts, starting with the bachata “Así Es La Vida,” with Maria Becerra, which topped Tropical Airplay for eight consecutive weeks and earned Iglesias a first champ since “Bailando” in 2014.
Further, with “Fría,” with Youtuel, Iglesias earned his highest start on Latin Pop Airplay, with a No. 5 peak (March 16-dated ranking), since “Me Pasé,” featuring Farruko, for one week on top in 2021.
Lastly, thanks to “Space In My Heart,” Iglesias’ first team-up with country singer-songwriter, Miranda Lambert, the Spaniard re-enters the Adult Top 40 Airplay tally after 10 years, where the song peaked at No. 21 in March 2024.
