DO YOU KNOW? (THE PING PONG SONG) - ENRIQUE IGLESIAS
With the forecast for male solo pop a veritable arid wasteland for the past several years, the return of Enrique Iglesias — whose last top 20 entry was in 2003 –is cause for three cheers. “Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)” is such a consummate midtempo carousel of hooks that it takes only one listen to raise your voice in unison. The “ping pong” references the clever instrumental sound of what resembles a ball being volleyed back and forth. Despite its joyous refrain, Iglesias has actually been dissed, as he sings, “Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock in the door has changed?” Hopefully his pain will be short-lived, as top 40 and adult top 40 thrust open the gate to this exhilarating summertime anthem. An esteemed launch to upcoming “Insomniac,” due June 12 Billboard
