With worldwide sales approaching 7 million albums, and legions of followers from the Americas to Europe to Asia and the Far East, Thalía is a reigning force in Latin music. Her Virgin Records debut and her first entire album of English compositions, THALÍA is a landmark event for the artist who was named one of People Español magazine's "25 Most Beautiful People" in May 2003.
THALÍA follows an extraordinary year for one of Latin pop's most powerful voices. Her self-titled album of last year (also named Thalía) topped both the Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums charts in Billboard for 6 weeks. The album went platinum and multi-platinum in a number of countries including the U.S., and produced three #1 Latin singles. A fourth track, "Dance Dance (The Mexican 2002)," a duet with Marc Anthony, took on a life of its own in clubs across the country and became Thalía's first-ever top 10 hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. For her accomplishments, Thalía earned two Billboard Latin Music awards, for Best Female Pop Album of the Year and the People's Choice Award.
Released in July 2003, THALÍA is a remarkable achievement for this young woman who has recorded ten since 1990, but has only been speaking English as a second language for six years. Proof positive arrived in the spring 2003, as top 40 and Urban radio listeners across the country blew up behind the advance single, "I Want You," a duet with platinum hip-hopper Fat Joe. The video for "I Want You" was shot on Fat Joe's turf, the streets of the Bronx, by award-winning director Dave Meyers.
