Jennifer Lopez The Crossover Dream Comes True Her "If You Had My Love" (one of the summer's biggest pop hits) not only debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart and picked up an RIAA platinum certification, it displaced a record by another Latin recording artist, the first time in history two Hispanic artists traded #1 spots on the pop music charts. It was also, as most beach-blanket occupiers would agree, voted "Song of the Summer" at the Teen Choice Awards.

Articulating these musical genres highlights the star’s diversity, ironic in the case of “If You Had My Love,” which, like most of Lopez’s other songs, borrows liberally from these genres but doesn’t itself recognizably belong to any genre at all except pop, and works as a way to sell and brand otherwise unidentifiable music, very important when half of all music that is listened to is not sold to a listener but rather “shared” among listeners, or stolen.
