In addition, according to his label, Universal Music, this new work by the Spanish singer became the year’s top-selling Latino album.

Also, the first single in Spanish on the album – “Cuando me enamoro” – was in first place on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs list for 17 non-consecutive weeks.

Iglesias also has had great success with numbers like “I Like It”, a duet with rapper Pitbull, which went triple platinum upon having sold more than three million online copies, and “Tonight”, the second single in English, which went platinum with more than a million digital sales.

Currently, the performer is on his “Euphoria Tour” in the US, kicking the project off Jan 29 by filling the Jose Miguel Agrelot Colosseum in Puerto Rico and being joined onstage by the Puerto Rican duet Wisin & Yandel and by Pitbull.

‘Darling’ this was already ‘badnam’ in Pakistan during 1992…. The peppy number from ‘Dabangg’ composed by Lalit Pandit which can be heard at every tea stall, rickshaw, discotheque, garba was originally composed by Kamal Ahmed, who died four years ago.

“Munni Badnam Hui” from Dabangg’ is lift from Kamal Ahmed composed “Ladka Badnaam Hua” for the Pakistani film ‘Mr Charlie’. Mr. Charlie went without much recognition but the song anyhow managed to inspire the tinsel town.

Earlier it was said that the song is lifted from a Bhojpuri number titled “Launda Badnaam Hua Naseeban Tere Liye”, sung by Rani Bala.  The music of this folk track is credited to Ghulam Dastgeer Khan and the album titled, “Balma Bada Bavaali”, stars Rampat Harami and Rani Bala. But, the release dates ‘Mr Charlie’ in 1992 and ‘Balma Bada Bavaali’ in 1998 are indicative of how the Pakistani number was composed earlier than any of the Indian songs.

But this is not the first time many Pakistani songs are being continuously lifted and ironically its b-town version gets the maximum likes.
