In 2001, Iglesias released his second English-language album ''[[Escape (Enrique Iglesias album)|Escape]]''.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20011124150422/http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2001/11/0601.cfm "Enrique Iglesias Escape"]}}. ''Chart Attack'', Review by Brian Pascual, 6 November 2001.</ref> Where most of the Latin crossover acts of the previous year experienced some difficulty matching the record sales of their first English-language albums, Iglesias actually went on to sell even more with the album being certified Diamond for shipments of over 10 million copies. The album's first single, "[[Hero (Enrique Iglesias song)|Hero]]", became a number-one hit in the United Kingdom, and in many other countries. The entire album was co-written by Iglesias.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}
''Escape'' is his biggest commercial success to date. The singles "[[Escape (Enrique Iglesias song)|Escape]]" and "[[Don't Turn Off the Lights]]" became radio staples, placing highly or topping various charts both in North America and elsewhere. A second edition of the album was released internationally and contained a new version of one of Iglesias's favorite tracks, "[[Maybe (Enrique Iglesias song)|Maybe]]", as well as a duet with [[Lionel Richie]] called "[[To Love a Woman]]".<ref>{{
Iglesias capitalized on the album's success with his "One-Night Stand World Tour" consisting of fifty sold-out shows in sixteen countries. Including [[Radio City Music Hall]] and three consecutive nights in London's [[Royal Albert Hall]], the tour ended with a big show at [[Lia Manoliu Stadium]] in [[Bucharest]], Romania. The concert launched MTV Romania, with the video for "[[Love to See You Cry]]" being the first music video to be shown on the channel.<ref>{{
In 2002, Iglesias decided to release a fourth Spanish-language album titled ''[[Quizás (album)|Quizás]]'' (''Perhaps''). A more polished musical production than his previous Spanish albums and containing more introspective songs, the album's title track is a song about the strained relationship Iglesias has with his famous father.<ref>{{
The album debuted at number twelve on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] albums chart, the highest placement of a Spanish-language album on the chart at that period. ''Quizás'' sold a million copies in a week, making it the fastest-selling album in Spanish in five years. All three singles released from the album all ended up topping the Latin chart, giving Iglesias a total of sixteen number ones on the chart. He currently holds the record for the most number-one singles on [[Billboard (magazine)|''Billboard'']]{{'}}s Latin Chart. With the song "[[Para Qué La Vida]]" Iglesias reached a million spins on U.S. radio becoming the first Latin act to do so. The video to the song "[[Quizás (Enrique Iglesias song)|Quizás]]" was the first Spanish-language music video to be added to the selection on [[MTV]]'s popular show ''[[Total Request Live]]''.The album went on to win the [[Latin Grammy Awards|Latin Grammy Award]] for [[Latin Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, Male|Best Pop Vocal Album]].<ref>{{
That year he embarked on an arena tour of the Americas. The "Don't Turn Off the Lights" tour was completed in the summer of 2002, with two sold-out nights in [[Madison Square Garden]] and another two in Mexico's [[National Auditorium]]. The tour finished with a single show in the [[Roberto Clemente Coliseum]] in [[San Juan, Puerto Rico]].{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}
