El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico was the musical act to reach number one on the Tropical Albums chart in 1985. They also had the most number one albums of the 1980s with a total of five records.

In June 1985, Billboard magazine established Tropical Albums, a chart that ranks the best-selling tropical albums in the United States. The chart was published on a bi-weekly basis with its positions being compiled by sales data from Latin music retailers and distributors.[1][2] According to Billboard, tropical music is the "sound of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean – though it extends beyond it".[3] In the 1980s, 22 albums topped the chart.

The first album to reach number one on the Tropical Albums chart was Innovations (1985) by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico.[1] El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico was also the musical act with the most number-one albums of the 1980s with five albums in total. The 1980s saw the popularity of salsa romántica in the tropical field with artists such as Frankie Ruiz and Eddie Santiago as the movement's pioneers.[4] Ruiz and Santiago were the only the other artists with three records reach number one on the Tropical Albums chart. Ruiz had the best-selling tropical album of 1986 with his debut album as a soloist, Solista Pero No Solo (1985).[5][6] Santiago achieved the same feat from 1987 to 1989 with his albums Atrevido y Diferente (1986),[7] Sigo Atrevido (1987),[8] and Invasión de la Privacidad (1988).[8].

Lalo Rodríguez achieved his only number one on any chart with Un Nuevo Despertar (1988) which spawned the single, "Ven, Devórame Otra Vez", and became a top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart.[9] Luis Enrique had two number one albums on the chart with Amor y Alegría (1988) and Mi Mundo (1989), the latter being the final number one of the decade.
