Miami Sound Machine began releasing singles in 1977 and continued until 1989, when Estefan began being credited solely as a solo artist. Miami Sound Machine released a number of commercially successful singles through the late 1980s, including "Conga", "Dr. Beat", "Anything for You", and "Bad Boy".

Estefan is the female artist with most number-one hits on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, having a total of fifteen hits spending a combined forty weeks at number 1. Among her most successful Latin singles are "Mi Tierra", "Con Los Años Que Me Quedan", "Abriendo Puertas", "Tres Deseos", "No Me Dejes de Querer" and "Tradición", the latter of which became Gloria's first number-one hit on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

Miami Sound Machine was fronted by Gloria Estefan from 1977 through 1988.

The band's first chart hit was "Dr. Beat", a top 10 hit in the UK in 1984. The group's breakthrough single in the US came in 1985 with the release of the lead single from their second studio-album Primitive Love. "Conga" made the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100 and was also a dance hit globally.

Other big singles came with the release of the group's third studio album, Let It Loose. In the US, the band's fourth single, "Anything for You", became their first-number one song on the Billboard Hot 100. "Can't Stay Away From You" became a number-one hit in the Netherlands.

The band enjoyed continued success with their singles through their final release, "1-2-3", which was a top ten in the United States. Following that release, Gloria Estefan was credited on releases as a solo artist. Her backup group is still referred to as the Miami Sound Machine, however, none of the original members of the group currently perform with Estefan.
