"Virtual Diva" is the first single by Puerto Rican reggaeton performer Don Omar from his third studio album iDon. It was released on February 3, 2009 through Machete Music and VI Music. The song was released through nationwide airplay in December 2008, and has since become the most requested song at urban radio, reaching the number-one position on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay chart.[2] In an obvious attempt to follow in the steps of the genre’s trendy electro-dance craze, iDon laces urban sounds with a blend of hip hop, electronica and dance beats. The song is included in the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto IV, and in the soundtrack of Saints Row: The Third.
