Usher’s Confessions era is arguably bigger than Enrique’s entire career.
not true but ok. huge era and career defining but for you to say that it can eclipse enrique's entirety is wild

Usher by miles.
The fact Enrique is even winning some of this. Lmfao laughable
while enrique may not have been a thing in the us for awhile he has maintained international and global success and relevancy which should be taken into consideration

Enrique Iglesias. He paved the way for Bruno Mars. Also, Enrique was part of the phenomenon in the Y2K era.
and the latin boom explosion with ricky, shakira and jlo

Usher was the biggest R&B artist of all time at one point
this ain’t even close. Usher had double the Global hits as Enrique. Also Usher was a teenager doing Stadiums worldwide and just did a stadium tour like 5 years ago. Usher is way bigger than him in Europe also. Dj falling in love, OMG, and his dance era hits were Global. Also confessions is like one of the biggest 2000’s era period. i'd argue that he still is the blueprint for any if not most rnb guys that are out. idk how true is it about usher having double the global hits as enrique when international success is the edge that enrique has over usher? enrique also did stadium tours worldwide and is still doing so today.

Usher. Enrique is widely forgotten. The definition of irrelevant after a break.
enrique's break are intentional by choice and even on these break he's headlining his tours and sells out without having to put out new material so he is in no way forgotten.

Enrique played stadiums at the beginning of his career too, I think he still could in Latin America.
I never really thought of Usher as global though. The impressive sales of his first two albums were almost entirely carried by the US which makes sense as rnb has always been much bigger there than any other global territory. I don't think Usher had any hits that were recognisable to your average joe outside the US until the Confessions era whereas Enrique had several from his English albums and in Latin America tons from his Spanish ones. I never really thought his EDM comeback in the 2010s was as big as globally as Enrique's either and in the US I think it's pretty debatable.
Enrique averages a pretty large number of monthly listeners on Spotify for an artist that is widely forgotten. He is only really irrelevant largely because he chooses to be. He did practically nothing to push his last album and I doubt he will for his next either. He's clearly just riding out his contract so he can retire with the occasional tour.
The performance of the singles from his last album would suggest that there is still a fair amount of goodwill for him in the Latin Market. I have little doubt that if he actually made an effort he could get a significant Spanish language hit. I doubt he'll ever have a mainstream English hit again but stranger things have happened.
enrique still does stadiums and arenas and tours on the regular. he is a touring force in latin america
usher saw global success once he went more pop with latter album USHER VS RAYMOND and LOOKING 4 MYSELF for sure
enrique is in no way forgotten when he is literally one of most successful latin artists ever and is the king of latin pop. yeah enrique priorities have shifted which i won't complain about. he's been at this for now what 4 decades? he deserves to live and enjoy the success of his work. speaking of which imma need enrique to drop volume 2 soon and give us the ricky martin collab asap why they choose not to drop that when touring together is beyond me and i hope that it wasn't scrapped due to ricky's controversies.
enrique had the bigger career because he was able to last longer commercially speaking. bigger peak i guess would go to usher. enrique has more classics again due to him being able to secure more hits in the long run.
