"Gloria!" is the eighth studio solo album released by American singer Gloria Estefan, but is the twenty-first overall, released in 1998.

Album History

"Gloria!" is a groove-oriented, exuberant, Disco influenced album. Something completely different from Estefan's previous albums, this album is aimed at a younger audience due the stronger Club and Dance rhythms of the album.

Gloria promoted the album at the famous Studio 54 at New York City. The three singles from "Gloria", "Oye!", "Heaven's What I Feel" and "Don't Let This Moment End" all became major hits. "Oye!" peaked at #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play, Hot Latin Tracks and Latin Tropical/Salsa Airplay. "Heaven's What I Feel" peaked at #27 on the Billboard Hot 100, #7 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play, #6 on the Hot Dance Singles Sales and #10 on the Adult Contemporary chart. While, "Don't Let This Moment End" peaked at #76 on the Billboard Hot 100, #30 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #4 on the Hot Dance Singles Sales. "Gloria!" remains a highly regarded album and is touted as her best dance-heavy albums of her solo career.

The album got a lot of nominations for its singles, the song "Heaven's What I Feel" received a nomination for a Grammy Music Award for "Best Dance Recording" and for the next year at the same category "Don't Let This Moment End". Also Gloria received another Grammy nomination for "Best Video, Long Form" for her video "Don't Stop!". Gloria also won some awards such as the Billboard Latin Music Award for "Best Latin Dance Club Play Track of the Year" for her smash hit song "Oye! and also received three Alma Awards for "Outstanding Music Video" for "Heaven's What I Feel", "Outstanding Host in a Variety/Music/Comedy Special or Series" for her appearance at the World Music Awards and the "Ricardo Montalban Achievement Award" and on Spain she received an Amigo Music Award for "Best Latin Female Artist". Also Gloria received the prestigious American Music Award for "Award of Merit".

The album has sold to date 2.2 millions copies worldwide.
