Background

Thalía ended her contract with EMI Music in 2009, some months after the release of her album Lunada, because of the album's very low sales in comparison with her previous successful releases. In the meantime, Thalía had to recover from Lyme disease, a disease that put her health into serious danger. As a matter of fact, a big part of the press in her native Mexico mentioned that she would have to retire from music, at least until fully recovered. During that period, Thalía was not contracted to any record label; she had been completely devoted to her business activities and her radio program.

She has sung in various languages apart from her native Spanish, including English, Filipino, French and Portuguese.

She is recognized as the most successful and influential female Mexican singer. She is often referred to as the "Queen of Latin Pop" by international media, mainly because of her legacy within the Latin pop music scene for the last 25 years. As a solo artist, she has sold over 40 million records worldwide, being considered one of the best-selling Latin musicians of all time. She has had 28 Top 10 singles, 16 of which went to No.1 and she has received numerous accolades including five Latin Billboard awards, several Premios Juventud awards and various Latin Grammy nominations.

As an actress, Thalía has starred in a variety of telenovelas, and in the 1990s was publicly referred to as the "Queen of telenovelas". The Spanish media company Televisa called her the best-paid telenovela.

Thalía (1990 album)

Thalía is the eponymous debut solo album by Mexican singer Thalía, produced by Alfredo Diaz Ordaz and released in Mexico by Fonovisa Records in 1990. The album consisted of 80's rock, synth, pop, and ballads.
