In 2009 he made history by having three albums debut simultaneously on the Top Ten of Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart and is the first artist to have #1 album in 4 consecutive decades (1990, 2000, 2010, 2020). Alejandro has also made significant strides in the digital music landscape, with an astounding 900 million streams a year on Spotify, a spot in Pandora’s Billionaires Program and a remarkable 8 billion all time views on YouTube. These milestones underscore his enduring popularity and the global reach of his music.
He is a four-time Latin Grammy winner, most recently taking the 2024 Latin Grammy Award for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album for “Te Llevo en La Sangre”, his 17th studio album. He håas a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is part of Billboard’s Hall of Fame and received the Latin AMA’s Icon Award among other recognitions. His latest release of “Un Millon de Primaveras” landed at #1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican chart; fastest growing genre in the world, breaking the record for the most No1s (thirteen) by a soloist this decade.
Alejandro has been touring the world for 30+ years, and his fans have been able to experience his live shows in 18 countries across North, South America and Europe.

Fernández has a long history of helping others through his music and live performance. Earlier this year he committed to donating a portion of the revenues from his Ft.
