Livin’ la vida loca? Maybe in May. The start of the warmer months is also the start of a search for a summer jam. But don’t think that means there’s a consistent sound.
In 1999, Ricky Martin released his first English-language album in May, earning him the moniker, ‘The Latin King of Pop.’ But ten years after that, in May of 2009, it was Eminem’s Relapse that dominated the charts.
