Daddy Yankee's third studio album, \"Barrio Fino,\" released in 2004, contained his megahit \"Gasolina,\" which helped propel him to stardom.

The album also helped Daddy Yankee to become the first reggaeton act to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart.

He is the first Latin artist to reach No. 1 on Spotify, the Guinness World Records confirmed in 2017.

The \"Despacito\" artist has received many accolades throughout his long career and is credited with paving the way for many other reggaeton artists in the industry.

His farewell album, \"Legendaddy,\" will be released on March 24 and his five-month farewell tour “La Última Vuelta” (The Last Round) kicks off August 10, concluding in December.
