Jennifer Lopez once again confirms her status as a global pop icon: the single “On the Floor” featuring Pitbull has topped the UK chart, surpassing Adele and LMFAO. Career highlights, records, and new musical milestones of J.Lo.
Jennifer Lopez is undoubtedly one of the most prominent figures in international show business. For many viewers, she first became known through her work in cinema. Her first leading role as singer Selena in the biographical film of the same name earned a Golden Globe nomination. The famous kiss with George Clooney in Steven Soderbergh’s film “Out of Sight” was even nominated for an MTV award. Such a promising start seemed to guarantee a dazzling film career. However, rapid rises are often followed by painful setbacks. The Golden Raspberry award for her role in the film “Gigli” left a noticeable mark on the actress’s career. Yet setbacks like this can stop almost anyone — except Lopez. Her later performances in the psychological thriller “The Cell” and the romantic comedy “The Wedding Planner” restored Jennifer’s reputation, which she maintains to this day.
Thanks to her versatility, Lopez has become not only the first Latin American actress to receive multi-million-dollar fees, but also a successful businesswoman. She owns a fashion line for women, and her Cuban restaurant in Pasadena is extremely popular not only among fans, but also among lovers of fine cuisine. Her fragrance Glow continues to confidently conquer the perfume market. Her career as a singer and dancer is also steadily evolving.
In her music, Lopez does not limit herself to pop and disco. Her songs seamlessly blend melodic blues rhythms with energetic hip-hop, while Latin American motifs add a distinctive national flavor. She released her debut album back in 1999, immediately entering the Billboard 200 top ten. Her second album, J.Lo, released in 2001, held the number one position for twenty-six consecutive weeks. Remixes from that album were even recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.
Today Jennifer Lopez has once again surprised her fans. Her new single “On the Floor”, recorded in collaboration with rap star Pitbull, topped the UK singles chart this week. Adele’s “Someone Like You”, which had held the lead for six weeks, dropped to second place. Third place went to “Party Rock Anthem”, which climbed from number 22 to number 3, bringing major success to LMFAO and Lauren Bennett & GoonRock.
