Pitbull aka Mr. Worldwide

Between show-stopping performances, chart-topping singles and numerous award nominations, 2011 was a great year for international music star Pitbull, aka Mr. Worldwide. So far, 2012 is looking just as good. He helped ring the New Year with a performance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rocking Eve.

According to the official Pitbull website, Mr. Worldwide titled his latest album Planet Pit because “he feels as if the world is his right now.” Based on his success, he has strong reason to feel that way: his hit single “Give Me Everything” was the party anthem of 2011 and the international star has sold millions of digital singles.

What makes Pitbull such a success?

Well, his spicy singles are instant dance hits. It is hard not to sing along or shake your booty when you hear one of his songs, especially if you are at a club or a wedding. Plus, the stylish singer oozes sex appeal and confidence. He has ladies swooning and guys taking notes. While there is only one Mr. Worldwide, his music lets you escape the hectic routine of normal life and allows you to become a confident, dancing machine, if only for a few minutes.
