Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez is an American singer, dancer, actress, and producer. The NYC native began her career as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson and a Fly Girl on In Living Color. Her breakthrough moment came when she starred as "Queen of Tejano Music" Selena in the 1997 film of the same name, as well as standout roles in Anaconda and Out of Sight opposite George Clooney.
In 1999, she released her debut album On The 6—featuring her No. 1 breakout single If You Had My Love, as well as the hits Waiting For Tonight and Let’s Get Loud—and, two years later, she became the first woman to have a No. 1 album and movie at the same time with her sophomore album J. Lo and the comedy The Wedding Planner, in which she co-starred with Matthew McConaughey. She went on to star in more notable movies including Main in Manhattan, Shall We Dance?, Monster-in-Law, The Back-Up Plan, Marry Me, Hustlers, and Kiss of the Spider Woman, and she voiced Shira in the animated films Ice Age: Continental Drift and Ice Age: Collision Course.
As a musician, she has sold more than 80 million albums, including This Is Me...Then (2002), Rebirth (2005), and 2007’s Como Ama uni Mujer, the best-selling debut album by an artist in Spanish. She served as a judge on American Idol from 2011 to 2016 and World of Dance from 2017 to 2020, and, in 2024, she appeared in the concert special Apple Music Live: Jennifer Lopez and hosted Apple Music’s This Is Me...Now Radio with Jennifer Lopez.
Lopez also starred in and produced the television series Shades of Blue and produced Good Trouble and The Fosters, and she headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show with Shakira in 2020.
Latest Release
- JAN 12, 2026 J.Lo (25th Anniversary Edition)

Nothing cemented Jennifer Lopez’s mega A-list status more than her sophomore album J.Lo, which she named after a then-new, since-ubiquitous nickname her fans had given her. Released in January 2001, the album built upon the success of On the 6 by letting Lopez focus on the dance floor first and foremost. With blockbuster singles “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” “I’m Real,” and “Ain’t It Funny,” she dominated more than just the clubs: She was all over radio, TRL, and everywhere in between. But the real treats are the Latin-pop deep cuts like “Cariño” and “Dame (Touch Me),” nods to the sound that made On the 6 such a breakthrough. With J.Lo, she proved that music was not just a silly side project. She was first inspired to pursue her own career in pop music after starring in the 1997 biopic Selena, all while continuing to be one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars: J.Lo arrived the same week as her hit rom-com The Wedding Planner. With the 25th Anniversary Edition of J.Lo, the multi-hyphenate celebrates her longevity and the timeless pop anthems she delivered straight out the gate. Alongside the Ja Rule remixes of “I’m Real” and “Ain’t It Funny,” which helped those songs become best-selling singles, she unleashes all the tracks featured on international editions of the album’s original physical release, like “I’m Waiting” and Spanish-language versions of several songs. Plus, she enlists Trixie Mattel for a lively remix of “Play” and drops the previously unreleased track “Crazy (Nobody Else).”
