Three types of organ tablature were used in Europe: German, Spanish and Italian. [1] To distinguish standard musical notation from tablature, the former is usually called "staff notation" or just "notation".
Since Billboard and Nielsen SoundScan are inconsistent with the definition of Latin music (Billboard states that the US Latin Digital Songs chart only ranks Spanish-language songs [114] but the English-language song "Conga" was ranked on the 2016 US Latin Digital Songs year-end chart), [115] some Spanglish songs primarily sung in English were excluded from the table above.
The Hot Latin Songs chart (formerly Hot Latin 50 and Hot Latin Tracks), [1] published in Billboard magazine, is a record chart based on Latin music airplay. The data were compiled by the Billboard chart and research department with information from 70 Spanish-language radio stations in the United States and Puerto Rico. [2]

Gracias Por La Música is a Spanish-language album by Swedish pop group ABBA, released in Spain on 5 April 1980 and Latin America on May 10.. The album was originally released due to the unexpected surge in popularity for the group in Latin American countries such as Mexico and Argentina after the release of the Spanish-language versions of "Chiquitita" and "I Have a Dream" in 1979.
The song was written around 1923 and first recorded in 1926. In English it is also known as the Spanish Gypsy Dance. [1] Its main refrain (eight bars of arpeggiated chords that go from E major to F major (with added 4 instead of 5) to G major and back) is arguably the best known snippet of Spanish music and is popular worldwide.
