According to "Billboard", Martin effectively opened the door to the "Latin Explosion" and, after "Ricky Martin"'s success and his game-changer Grammy performance of "The Cup of Life", he opened the gates for many Latin artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Marc Anthony, Santana, and Enrique Iglesias who released their crossover albums and followed him onto the top of the charts, thus many sources such as "PopSugar" and "Rolling Stone" have called him the "Original Latin Crossover King". An author of "Rolling Stone" wrote: "Ricky Martin’s phenomenal success opened the door for a string of Latin artists who waved the flags of their heritage, but who sang in English." In 2005, "Paste" named Shakira as the female Ricky Martin.
