After three years with RCA Víctor, Chayanne switched labels to [[Sony Music]] and broke out with his [[Chayanne (1987 album)|first self-titled album]] in 1987. This album featured a blend of ballads and dance tracks, a combination for which Chayanne would become famous. The album featured two hit songs, the ballad "Peligro de Amor", written by Michael Sullivan and Paulo Massadas, and a song that would cement him as an overall performer, the upbeat dance track "Fiesta en América", written by Honorio Herrero.

On November 1, 1988, Chayanne released his second self-titled album, ''[[Chayanne (1988 album)|Chayanne]]''. This album featured several hit singles, including Herrero's "Tu Pirata Soy Yo", [[José María Cano]]'s "Fuiste un Trozo de Hielo en la Escarcha" ('you were a piece of ice in the frost'), and "Este Ritmo Se Baila Así", composed by Pierre-Edouard Decimus and Jacob Desvarieux, both members of [[Guadeloupe]]an band [[Kassav']], and Roberto Livi. At the same time, Chayanne became a spokesperson for [[Pepsi]], with the airing of the first Spanish-speaking advertising spot broadcast on national television, coast to coast, during the [[31st Annual Grammy Awards|1989 Grammy Awards]] telecast.

On August 7, 1990, he released the album ''[[Tiempo de Vals]]'', featuring some of his best-selling singles, such as the title track (composed by José María Cano), "[[Completamente Enamorados]]" (by [[Piero Cassano]], [[Adelio Cogliati]], and [[Eros Ramazzotti]]), and {{ill|Daría Cualquier Cosa|es|Daría cualquier cosa|quote=y}}, composed by Luis Gómez Escolar and Julio Seijas. Chayanne followed this with an album and title track that would eventually become his [[signature song]], ''[[Provócame]]'' (1992). The album also featured the hit "El Centro de mi Corazón" (#1 U.S. Hot Latin, 1992), which was nominated for Pop Song of the Year at the [[Premio Lo Nuestro 1993|Lo Nuestro Awards of 1993]], while Chayanne was nominated for Best Male Pop Artist.<ref name="billboardmag">{{cite magazine|last=Lannert|first=John|date=March 30, 1993|title=Secada Lead Latin Noms Following Grammy Win|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|volume=105|issue=10|page=10|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=0w8EAAAAMBAJ&q=no+se+tu+luis+miguel&pg=PA10|access-date=January 3, 2013}}</ref> Two years later, he released the covers album ''[[Influencias]]'' (1994), which was a tribute to some of his musical influences. In 1996, he released ''[[Volver a Nacer]]''.

In 1998, he received his second [[Grammy]] nomination with the album ''[[Atado a Tu Amor]]'', which featured his first number-one hit since 1992, "[[Dejaría Todo]]", as well as a long-lasting hit in the title track. The hot streak continued in 2000, when Chayanne released ''[[Simplemente (Chayanne album)|Simplemente]]'' and the top-ten hit "Candela" and the number-one hit "[[Yo Te Amo]]". On March 19, 2002, he released ''[[Grandes Éxitos (Chayanne album)|Grandes Éxitos]]'', a greatest-hits album with a few new tracks. One of those new tracks, "Y Tú Te Vas", was the number-one song of the summer for 2002, and went on to be the theme song for Venezuelan telenovela ''[[Todo sobre Camila]]'', produced by [[Venevisión]]. The following year, Chayanne released ''[[Sincero]]'', which featured two number-one songs, "Un Siglo Sin Ti" and "Cuidarte el Alma".

In 2005, Chayanne embarked on a tour alongside [[Alejandro Fernández]] and [[Marc Anthony]]. That same year, he released two albums, a second compilation album, ''[[Desde Siempre]]'', with the new song "Contra Vientos y Mareas", followed by ''[[Cautivo]]'', with hits such as "No Sé Por Qué", "Te Echo de Menos" and "No Te Preocupes Por Mí".

Chayanne's 13th album, ''[[Mi Tiempo (album)|Mi Tiempo]]'', was released on April 10, 2007. The album debuted at number two on the ''Billboard'' Latin Albums chart, selling 17,000 copies in its first week.

On August 24, 2008, he began a series of presentations in [[Spain]].
