By Sugey Palomares

Fans waited anxiously for last week’s release of Daddy Yankee’s ninth album, Mundial, and since then the highly anticipated compilation has hit the second spot on iTune Latino’s Top Album’s list. His new fast-paced tracks, including "La Despedida," include a colorful combination of salsa, cumbia, reggaeton, dance, and hip-hop fusions. We can definitely see a few of them creating the same global buzz as his infamous “Gasolina.”

His upcoming television appearance won't hurt sales either — Daddy Yankee will be featured in upcoming episodes of "Bold and the Beautiful," where he'll perform tracks from Mundial.

In a recent press conference covered by The Examiner, El Cangri explained why he gravitated towards a global theme for this album:

"Through my world travels over the years, I've had the chance to learn about the lives and traditions of many cultures around the globe so the idea to make this concept album was born out of those experiences."

His global inspiration gave birth to his latest single titled, "Grito Mundial," sure to be a crossover hit.

According to Billboard, critics definitely agree that the track can serve as the 2010 World Cup soundtrack. Not a bad buzz to have attached to a song when you are used to selling over $8 million albums!
