2000

The year 2000 marked the peak of the Latin pop explosion in Mexico, riding the wave of the late-1990s 'Latin Invasion'. Pop ballads and tropical anthems dominated radio, with Son By Four's 'A Puro Dolor' spending a record-breaking 20 weeks at number one on Hot Latin Songs. Mexican and pan-Latin stars like Thalía, Enrique Iglesias, and Ricky Martin dominated mainstream radio alongside regional Mexican banda and norteño artists.
