It retained Latin rhythms in its uptempo numbers but relied more on mainstream pop for its melodic sense. Most of its artists sang in Spanish for Latino audiences, although Latin pop's similarity to the mainstream helped several performers score crossover hits when they chose to record in English. Latin pop's first major crossover star was Gloria Estefan; others include Jon Secada, Selena, Ricky Martin, and Jennifer Lopez.
