ENRIQUE IGLESIAS SETS NEW RECORD FOR MOST NUMBER ONES ON BILLBOARD DANCE CLUB SONGS CHART

MOST NUMBER ONES FOR ANY MALE ARTIST IN HISTORY

“BAILANDO” CERTIFIED PLATINUM BY RIAA

TWENTY-TWO WEEKS AT #1 ON BILLBOARD HOT LATIN SONGS CHART

NEW YORK, NY (October 8, 2014) – Continuing a scorching hot streak, ENRIQUE IGLESIAS breaks another record with the 2014 smash "Bailando"—available on his tenth full-length album SEX AND LOVE [Republic Records]. The platinum-certified anthem has ascended to #1 on Billboard's Dance Club Song Chart, earning the Grammy Award-winning global icon his 13^th number one and even besting his own record, previously 12^th. To date, he has scored more number ones on the chart than any other male artist in history—including Michael Jackson and Prince. Online, it has accumulated over half a billion views.

The success of "Bailando" stands truly unparalleled. It became the first non-English single to land in the Top 10 at Top 40 radio since Los del Rio's "Macarena" in 1996. Moreover, it enjoys the longest run at #1 for any artist in 2014, holding the top spot on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs Chart for 22 weeks and marking his 25^th No. 1 on that chart. Among other accolades, it's the highest-charting Spanish single in the United States ever. Internationally, it captured #1 on iTunes in over 50 countries, including a 22-week stint in Spain and a 13-week stint in Mexico.

Right now, ENRIQUE is lighting up arenas across the country on his co-headline tour with Pitbull and J Balvin. The jaunt continues heating up the fall through its close on December 13 at the Crocus Hall in Moscow, RU.

ENRIQUE IGLESIAS remains one of the globe’s most recognizable and revered superstars. This Grammy Award-winning icon recently released his tenth full-length album, SEX AND LOVE. To date, he has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, cementing him as one of the best-selling Spanish artists of all-time. Other accolades include five Top 5 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, with two number ones, and 13 number ones on the Billboard Dance chart—which is “the most for any male artist in the chart’s history” and more than Michael Jackson and Prince. His total number ones throughout Billboard’s charts exceed 71, and he also is the record-holder for “Most #1 Spanish Language Single” on the Hot Latin Track Charts.

Raj Kumar Hirani turns choreographer for Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma

For one of the songs in his awaited upcoming film, PK, Raj Kumar Hirani wanted a very different signature move.

The director was keen to have a non filmy choreographer for this particular song and they went on an extensive search to get someone unusual on board for this.

Artists from France, Bangalore and other places were auditioned but Raju was not satisfied with the groove of the signature move.

Even people from the cast and crew were given a chance to try but to no solution.

Kiran Rao who was on set once also tried making a cool move but it did not fit the feel of the song.

Apart from that, even Anushka Sharma tried her hands at it.

Finally, it was Raj Kumar Hirani, who came up with a cool signature move for the song.

Bosco – Ceasar then came on board and choreographed the entire song in the same mood.

The song is a light mood song and the makers are very happy with the way it has turned out to look
