The Billboard Top Latin albums chart, published in Billboard magazine, is a record chart that features Latin music sales information. This data is compiled by Nielsen SoundScan from a sample that includes music stores, music departments at electronics and department stores, Internet sales (both physical and digital) and verifiable sales from concert venues in the United States.[1]
Unlike the List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Albums of 2008, the year-end chart on Billboard Magazine is a compilation of feature recaps throughout the year. The rankings for this chart reflect airplay or sales during the weeks that titles appeared on the respective lists during the tracking period. This includes activity during unpublished weeks for those lists that print every other week. The 2008 chart year began on the issue dated on December 1, 2006, and ended with the November 29, 2008, issue.[2]
The best selling Latin album of 2008 was Los Extraterrestres by Wisin & Yandel, which also won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Urban Music Album. Mexican performer Vicente Fernández ranked two albums within the Top 10, Para Siempre at number 2, and Historia de Un Idolo, Vol. 1 at number 10. Marco Antonio Solís was the performer with most albums in the list: La Mejor... Colección, No Molestar and Una Noche en Madrid.
