The following musicians have been playing on my computer for several weeks now:
Romeo Santos
Prince Royce

Tito Puente
A-Z Lyrics has compilations of lyrics for many of their songs:

Great thing about music - when you listen over and over again, you start to understand the message without having to translate, and by repeating the lyrics, you practice pronunciation. I've listened to 'Bailando' by Iglesias quite a few dozen times now, and while I don't understand everything (and don't have time to study every line in every song), I'm on my way. Reading the lyrics as I listen is a good way to pick up on things I would miss if I were just listening (since it helps me to visualize how words are spelled as I hear them).
Although I haven't had much time to spend reading articles and watching videos lately, I listen to a lot of music while at work...just have it playing softly in the background. I'm getting used to the sounds of Spanish - the soft d's, the rolled r's, the g's that sound like h's, the y's that sound like j's, the s's that sound like th's (in European Spanish), the unaccented final e's that sound like French é's, etc.
