The result of Marc Anthony was not only his first Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 hit, "I Need To Know," but it also landed the singer his first-ever Latin GRAMMY Award, and the distinction of earning the very first Latin GRAMMY for Song Of The Year in 2000 for the Spanish version of the catchy tune, "Dímelo."

Anthony has gone on to win an additional four Latin GRAMMYs and two GRAMMY Awards. In 2016 he was honored as the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year for his outstanding achievements as an artist and for his philanthropic work.

On the strength of his debut solo album, Fijate Bien, Juanes racked up seven Latin GRAMMY nominations in 2001, including nods for Album Of The Year and Record and Song Of The Year for the album's title track.

The 2nd Latin GRAMMYs was slated to take place on Sept. 11, 2001, however, in light of the tragic events of the day, the show was canceled and a press conference was held at a later date where the Latin GRAMMY Awards were given out to their respective winners, including Juanes.
