| Mexican teen-pop sensation RBD emerged from the successful soap opera Rebelde (Rebel), based on the life and affairs of 13 high school students. The original line-up comprised Dulce Maria Espinoza (born 12/06/1983), Alfonso Herrera Rodriguez (born 08/28/1983), Anahí Giovanna Puente Portillo (born 05/14/1983), Jose Christian Chavez Garza (born 08/07/1983), Christopher Alexander Uckerman (born 10/21/1986) and Maite Perroni (03/03/1983). In May 2005 their first self-titled album achieved platinum status in Mexico after selling 350.000 copies and by the end of that same month it became a gold record in the US after selling 100.000 copies. "Rebelde", "Sólo Quédate En Silencio" and "Sálvame" became smash hits all over Latin America. A live album followed soon after and while still touring Mexico and major US cities, they returned with "Nuestro Amor", featuring the hit singles "Aún Hay Algo" and "Este Corazón". After recording a portuguese version, "Nosso Amor" became a chart-topping song in Brazil. In January 2006 RBD recorded "Live In Hollywood" and while the soap opera was coming to an end in Mexico, they announced a new tv series, a movie and their first English-language album called "Rebels", featuring "Tu Amor". "Empezar Desde Cero" is released in 2007, followed by a greatest hits compilation and their last album "Para Olvidarte De Mí". |
