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

  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.

A humble mission to CLEANSE INDIA and create awareness about our human values & fundamental duties as Citizens

Who doesn’t want freedom from dirt and filth, but for that the whole country has to come and work together. It’s not that if the Prime Minister of India has announced the campaign so it becomes the sole responsibility of the Government of India to make India clean. It is now individual social responsibility of every citizen of India to participate and contribute to make the country a better place to live in.

 Keeda hai Kya, Desh saaf karne Ka? is a viral citizen movement initiated to add strength to Swachh Bharat Abhiyan  launched by  our Honbl’e Prime Minister. The movement is being powered by Apeejay Karmayuga, a movement to create awareness about our human values & fundamental duties as responsible citizens.

 Mr.Karan Paul, Chairman of one of the biggest and reputed corporate giant, Apeejay Surrendra Group flagged off -“Keeda Hai Kya, Desh Saaf Karne Ka” – the citizen movement  to cleanse India on October 2^nd . Feeling happy about getting an opportunity to perform his fundamental duty as a citizen of India and do his bit for the country, Mr. Paul also inspired many more people to join in to clean the streets in Delhi.

During the launch off the mission, Mr Karan Paul said “Keeda Hai Kya Desh Saaf Karne Ka? This mission is quite a patriotic invitation to all citizens of India to do their bit to clean India . As a collective citizen movement, this mission should aspire to have all 1.3 billion Indian citizens join in by devoting 100 hours every year to do some cleaning. This will certainly go a long way in strengthening the efforts of our Honbl’e Prime Minister, Shri. Narendra Modi ,who has given out a clarion call to all the citizensto keep India clean.. This mission is energized by we the people, i.e extraordinary citizen patriots like you & me.  Join in and let us make a better and clean India, ‘ more ‘saare jahan se achha!’  “

 Apeejay Karmayuga is a movement to Inspire solid Character, initiated by iCONGO- International Confederation of NGOs (www.icongo.in) and supported by Apeejay Trust.

The recent floods in Kashmir have devastated and unhinged the lives of many leaving many casualties and loss of homes, property and livelihoods in its wake. 

Acknowledging our chance to be one, the relief campaign kicked off on Gandhi Jayanti and ZEE’s 22^nd Anniversary - 2nd October,  with a message from youth icon Ranbir Kapoor calling on the nation to join hands and raise hope for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The message was released along with a thematic music piece composed by Gulzar & Vishal Bharadwaj and sung by Sukhwinder Singh.

HUM HAIN: Umeed-e-Kashmir will strive to work alongside several NGOs, Government bodies, celebrities and civilians to give the cause a unified voice. The concert will include a list of celebrity performers will appeal and urge viewers to donate to key NGOs and specified Disaster Relief Funds in support of the Kashmir relief project. Many other stars and performers will be shortly announced.

The campaign’s highpoint is the creation of simultaneous live events on ground across 7 cities on 18th October with the main event at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi and simultaneous events being held in Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkatta and Jaipur.  The spread of events across the country will help demonstrate that India cares.

Zee TV’s 10 News channels will come together to connect the multiple events being held simultaneously across the country. India will be one as the event management industry in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Jaipur, and Kolkata will feature their respective film and entertainment industries. Zee’s anchors and network will connect the cities and performers live from 3 pm onwards on 18th October.

Studios will also be set up in both New Delhi and Mumbai where celebrities will also send across poignant messages, performances and showcase footage films that bring alive the devastation and relief work undertaken in an effort to strengthen the appeal. Concert tickets for the same will be sold, with all proceeds going to charity. A collection of celebrity memorabilia will also go on auction. ALL money generated through the fund-raiser through sale of tickets, donations, sponsorships, commercial time, auctions, etc. will be given to charities in Jammu & Kashmir and the most-recently hit Assam that the organisers will painstakingly select. 

Amitabh Bachchan speaking about the initiative said, “As human beings and as Indians we need to do all that we can to help our countrymen in need. The plight of the people of Jammu & Kashmir has always been a matter of concern and the floods have only made it worse. All that we do simply won’t be enough to meet the various challenges facing the people; but every drop counts. Hence we call on everyone in our country and from the world community to come forward and provide their support.”

Punit Goenka, MD & CEO, ZEE said “As a nation, we have always treasured Kashmir the most, our precious crown that it has always been. In such a calamity, it is nothing less than a moral responsibility of every citizen and corporate in India to step forward and extend the best possible support towards the relief. As a global media company, with a wide bouquet of multiple channels across the nation, and a strong connect with over 730 million viewers, ZEE aims at offering a dual support to this initiative. Firstly, through the advertisement revenues generated from the broadcast, which would be entirely donated to the relief work, and secondly by offering a nationwide reach to the event. Committed to ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, which we espouse as our brand positioning, it is ZEE’s responsibility to step forward and work for its Family, of which the people of Kashmir are an integral part.”  

Ranbir Kapoor speaking about the initiative said, “Kashmir has always been an intrinsic part of our film industry. The happiness and joy that the Kashmiri people brought me and my Rockstar crew was incredible. The people are peace-loving and love all of us from the entertainment industry. I am grateful to the EEMA and the Film  Producers Guild for initiating this project with Zee TV. It’s important that the country comes together to demonstrate our solidarity with them at this time"

Sabbas Joseph, President of Event and Entertainment Management Association said today, “As we continue to plan the relief campaign, there is an optimistic energy building that we will be able to help rebuild Kashmir with a sense of solidarity that is representative by every film, music and sports icon coming together. The idea of creating multiple simultaneous live events showcases the strength, diversity and unity of our country; it also demonstrates the growing strength of the live and event management industry across the country. Bringing the country together, is at the core of the initiative that we are building.”

Mukesh Bhatt, President of the Film & TV Producers Guild, said, “The land of ethereal beauty & purity is in tatters, devastated by nature’s fury. Kashmir, the embodiment of Indian culture & tradition, is crying for help from millions of fellow Indians. The Indian entertainment industry has shared a wonderful symbiotic relationship with the land of Kashmir over the years & the time has come to repay the generosity & hospitality of Kashmiris in their time of strife. The industry has forever pioneered charitable causes whenever India has been ravaged by tragedies & this time too, we would like to support our Kashmiri brethren & contribute in our own humble way to this gargantuan task of relief & rehabilitation.”Hum Hain ….. Umeed-e-Kashmir” will not only assemble industry forces on a common platform of compassion & nobility but more significantly appeal to the consciousness of the vast multitude of Indians to generously donate funds in our endeavour to provide some succour to the survivors in Kashmir."

This October, the Event and Entertainment Management Association, along with Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. and the Film and Television Producers Guild of India have come together in solidarity with the people of Kashmir and India, at large and is sending out a call-to-action.
