Once again the Puerto Rican star Ricky Martin is on the news and his accomplishments are on the cover of every magazine throughout the world. In just months, of the same year, the interpreter of "Livin’ la Vida Loca", has put himself again in the #1 spot of the prestigious Billboard Chart. This time with his second single "Bella", the Spanish version of "She’s all That", which is in the 1st position of the "Hot Latin Track" and has been a sensation in various important cities of the world.
Ricky and his acclaimed melodies of "She’s All That" and "Livin’ la Vida Loca" are still #1 in England and other cities of Europe and America. In the past few weeks the Puerto Rican mega-star conquered, with his music and talent, the countries of the Orient, where he became an icon.
Now, Ricky Martin is preparing himself for his participation on the great event of the MTV Music Award, with six nominations. He is also ready for his World Tour that begins in October and that will be transmitted by Telemundo, the official Ricky Martin’s Tour channel.
