This year has been Luis Fonsi's, thanks to his hit "Despacito," [1] and while 2017 is not over yet, the catchy song holds the record for most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 100, so there's no way it won't be the Latin song of the year. But what hits came before it? Let's see . . . last year was all about Nicky Jam's "Hasta El Amanecer," and the year before was when all of us where singing to Enrique Iglesias's "El Perdón." The point is every year is defined by a tune. To honor them and make sure we never forget them, here's a list of the biggest Latin hit each year from 1987 to 2016.
