RBD


RBD is a group that emerged from the soap opera "Rebelde", integrated by its protagonists: Anahí, Dulce, Maite, Alfonso, Christián and Christopher; that soon went beyond the soap opera fiction to write, in the pop music world, a reality that surpassed fiction. Their album debut "Rebelde" triggered great radial hits in Mexico: "Rebelde", "Sólo Quédate En Silencio", "Sálvame" and "Un Poco De Tu Amor".

And soon became a Gold Album, then Platinum and recently got the Diamond Album Award for its more than 500,000 sales in their country. From the first tour of the band, named "Tour Generación RBD" a CD and a DVD were released (out in USA on the 8th November) in which, apart from the songs in the album "Rebelde", there are pop/rock medleys from the 80's and new songs of the group "Una Canción" and "Liso Sensual". RBD received the Platinum Album Award (Mexico) for this live album. After about a year of its launching, RBD releases its second discographic production of unedited songs: "Nuestro Amor" (October 4 in USA).

An album that shows the evolution of the band since its creation. It features 14 songs, included "Nuestro Amor", the first single and the name of the album, and "Me Voy", "Feliz Cumpleaños", "Este Corazón", "Así Soy Yo", "Aún Hay Algo", "A Tu Lado", "Fuera", "Qué Fue Del Amor", "Qué Hay Detrás", "Tras De Mí", "Solo Para Tí", "Una Canción", and "Liso, Sensual". Surprisingly, after a sale of 127 thousand units, "Nuestro Amor" gets the Platinum Album Award after only 7 hours of its release in Mexico. In November 24 (in the world), RBD releases its other discographic production of unedited song: “Celestial”. It features 13 songs in “Celestial”, included “Celestial”, the the name of the álbum, and “Tal ves después”, “Ser o parecer”, “Dáme”, “Quizá”, “Bésame sin miedo”, “Tu dulce voz”, “Algún dia”, “Me canse”, “Aburrida y sola”, “Es por amor”, “ Quisiera ser” and “English snnipet”. RBD, a group that comes from a soap opera fiction to break down stovepipes in the musical world. Without doubt, the pop band most successful of the time and which will surely continue at the front line. RBD’s “Ser o Parecer” Reaches the #1 Hot Latin Track. Mexico's RBD makes bilingual bid for U.S. audience.

MIAMI (Billboard) - For at least the past two years, EMI executives on both sides of the Atlantic were on the lookout for a successful Latin act with international potential. Enter RBD, a coed sextet whose initial success in its native Mexico hinged on the popularity of a daily soap opera. Since releasing a first album in late 2004, RBD mania spread from Mexico to the U.S. Latin market to the rest of Latin America and Brazil, where the group topped sales charts with albums in Spanish and Portuguese.

Now RBD plans to release two new studio albums: the Spanish-language "Celestial," due November 24 on EMI Televisa, and "Rebels," in English, due December 19 on Virgin. This marks the first time a major act is releasing completely different Spanish and English albums (usually one is a translation of the other) in the United States within such a short period of time. The setup is the prelude for the European release of "Rebels," slated for March 2007. RBD's exploits have been well documented. In just two years, the group -- made up of Anahi, Alfonso, Dulce, Maite, Christopher and Christian (all between 19 and 24 years old) -- has sold close to 6 million albums worldwide and more than 1 million in the United States alone, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Its new English-language single, "Tu Amor," is No. 32 on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 chart and No. 71 on the Billboard Hot 100. The act's new Spanish-language single, "Ser o Parecer," is No. 10 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. RBD's MySpace page has more than 1 million profile views and more than 3 million song plays. Its Web site has 2 million unique visitors per month. RBD it records the First Chapter of its series. "RBD: The Family ". After the harvested successes, the band initiates the filming of series ' RBD: the family '; the project will be launched in 2007 and will have quality of cinema.
