*SVE MLADJE GENERACIJE OPSEDNUTE OVOM GRUPOM..

RBD, the group that started a revolution in the Hispanic music industry
like no other, are a Mexican pop group that derived from the Televisa
produced show, "Rebelde". Alfonso Herrera, Christian Chávez, Dulce
María, Maite Perroni, Christopher Uckermann, and Anahí Portilla are the
members of the musical group. The group's debut single "Rebelde" was
used to open up the TV show, some time later they launched their debut
album of the same name as well, "Rebelde". The album was a commercial
success and spawned the hits: "Rebelde", "Solo Quedate En Silencio",
"Sálvame" and, "Un Poco De Tu Amor". Their first three singles went to
#1, while "Un Poco De Tu Amor" peaked at #2 in Mexico, a similar
success followed around the world, most notably in the United States
and Brazil. Since then, they're album went Diamond in Mexico (selling
over 500,000 copies).

Seeing the success, it was decided that the band would do a
national tour in Mexico, the "Tour Generation RBD". All of their 35
dates sold-out, including 3 visits to Monterrey and a total full at all
6 dates at the Palacio de los Deportes (holds 22,500 people), the tour
gathered more than 700,000 fans in Mexico, overall. "OCESA" (a Mexican
entertainment company) released a list of the fastest selling tours of
all-time in March 2005, RBD was not only in the top 5 but they were the
only Mexican act to be in the top 5 as well. Soon after the Rebel fever
got worst, not only in Mexico, but they visited Venezuela, Brazil,
Columbia, the United States, and other countries where the group was
gaining popularity. Near the end of the tour, a second album was
released, "Tour Generation RBD", which gave the fans a chance to hear
the same track list that was played at the group's gigs. Soon after, a
DVD of the concert itself was released to enjoy the show from their
homes.

RBD fans didn't have to wait long for new material as their their
album and second studio album, "Nuestro Amor" was shortly released. The
release caused a startling commotion in Mexico as 127,000 copies were
sold in less than 7 hours since the CDs hit the shelves. This let the
album not only set a record but also made the CD go Platinum in Mexico.
By the end of the week, the album sold over 160,000 copies. The album
then enjoyed a three week reign at the top of the Albums chart in
Mexico. A week after it's release in Mexico, the album was released in
the US. The album debuted at #2 but the week after peaked at #1 on the
Hot Latin Albums chart on Billboard. Since then, the album has been
certified Platinum for shipping more than 200,000 copies. Their first
single, was the catchy title-track, "Nuestro Amor".


The song shot to #1 in Mexico, where it stayed there for four
consecutive weeks. The song peaked at #2 on Billboard Hot Latin Pop
Airplay chart and #6 on Billboard's Top 50 Latin Tracks and Latin
Tropical Airplay chart. It was also used to promote the second season
of "Rebelde". The track was followed by "Aún Hay Algo" which had
success as well, peaking at #1 in Mexico in December 2005, and the song
debuted at #36 on Billboard's Top 50 Latin Songs, becoming a Hot Shot
Debut on early March 2006. It later peaked at #24 in April 2006. "Tras
De Mi" was third single off of "Nuestro Amor", staying at #1 for 3
weeks in Mexico. A similar success has occurred with "Este Corazon"
recently.


However, Spanish is not the only language that RBD has sung in.
They have released a Brazilian version of "Rebelde" in Brazil. The
album holds 7 songs translated into the native language. They followed
suit, by releasing "Nosso Amor" (the Portuguese version of Nuestro
Amor) in Brazil earlier in 2006. Both albums have hit #1 and have had
major success. RBD is working more recently on an English album to
break into the America, European, and Asian market. On June 2006, the
third and final season of "Rebelde" ended, which means further projects
for the group. They have a mini-series, movie in the works as well as
an English album and more touring around Central and South America.

The RBDmania hasn't ended with discs, tours, and DVDs. There are
other products including games, calendars, candy, key chains, and much
more. Riding on a high note, RBD seems here to stay. The group that has
sold more than 9.5 million albums around the world in less than two
years, won countless of awards, and they have promised to stick around
as long as they are wanted. RBD is not a mere flavor of the moment or
trend, they are a group that are set to conquer the world.
