Romeo Santos is selling out Yankee Stadium and revolutionizing a whole genre of Latin music. But don’t let that stop you from telling him all about your heartbreak.
UPSTAIRS AT THE 40/40 CLUB, JAY-Z’s Flatiron District bar, the Bronx-born superstar Romeo Santos is curled up in a leather chair. Santos, who’s become famous for infusing falsetto vocals and hip-hop rhythms into traditional bachata music, isn’t here today to clink drinks and enjoy himself, even though he has a lot to celebrate. Earlier in the day, he unveiled his wax statue at the Madame Tussauds in Times Square. Soon, the Empire State Building would be lit up gold in honor of Golden, his third studio album. His previous album, Formula, Vol. 2, now holds the record for most weeks spent atop Billboard’s “Latin Albums” chart (it’s 125 and counting, beating out Selena’s Amor Prohibido). Once you know a bit about his credentials, it’s less surprising to learn that he sold out Yankee Stadium in 2014. Twice.
