Spanish superstar Julio Iglesias has been named the Best-Selling Male Latin Artist ever by Guinness World Record officials.

The multi-lingual music icon, who has been noted for selling over 300 million albums across the globe, has also been announced as the recipient of the First and Most Popular International Artist of all time in China title from executives at his record label Sony Music Entertainment.

He will be presented with both awards by acclaimed Chinese classical pianist Lang Lang at a special ceremony in Beijing on Monday (01Apr13).

The event will be Iglesias' first time back in the Chinese capital since 1995, when he was honoured as the country's most popular foreign artist by the Chinese Ministry of Culture.
