Billboard staff have compiled a list of the top 20 songs by Juan Gabriel, celebrating the celebrated "Divo de Juárez" who passed away a decade ago. The countdown includes a mix of heartbreak anthems, mariachi classics, and pop gems. The song at No. 20 is "Fue un placer concerte," a romantic ranchera from Rocío Dúrcal's 1977 album, Canta Juan Gabriel, volume one.

This composition reached No. 10 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart in 1992. The 19th-ranked song is "Te Sigo Amando," which transforms heartbreak into unwavering devotion, hitting No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs in 1997. The 18th song, "Siempre en Mi Mente," explores obsession for someone, with the track fetching nearly 150 million streams on Spotify.

The 17th ranked song, "La Farsante," tells a tale of lies, betrayal, and self-love from the 1983 album, Todo, which features mariachi arrangements by trombonist Chuck Anderson. The No. 16 track is "Caray," an upbeat mariachi that narrates the story of a man moving on after his ex left him for someone wealthy; Juanga later re-recorded it with Alejandra Guzmán in 2015.
