Chart Rewind: In 1999, Jennifer Lopez Claimed Her First Hot 100 No. 1 With ‘If You Had My Love’
Jennifer Lopez's "If You Had My Love" became her first Hot 100 No. 1. Here's the Chart Rewind to 1999.
The single, the opening track from Lopez’s 16-track debut studio album, On the 6, her first of eight top 10s on the Billboard 200 chart, was initially intended for Michael Jackson, but the King of Pop passed as he thought it was a better fit for a female artist, and he was right. 1 of 1999 to that point, as the Puerto Rican’s fellow Latin pop explosion “Livin’ La Vida Loca” ceded the top spot to “If You Had My Love.” The song’s 25-year anniversary arrives on the heels of the star’s recently canceled This Is Me… Live Tour, which was scheduled to be her first concert run in five years, in support of her ninth studio album, This Is Me… Now, her first in a decade.
