Paulina Rubio released her latest album Ananda on September 19th, 2006 in th U.S. and on September 18th, 2006 worldwide. It reached the #1 spot in the U.S. and countries all over Latin America. It reached #25 on U.S. Billboard's "Billboard Hot 200" albums chart, and it reached the #1 spot on Billboards "Top Latin Albums." Ni Una Sola Palabra has reached the #1 spot on radio in many Latin American countries, as well as the U.S. and Spain. It reached #1 on U.S. Billboard's "Hot Latin Tracks." Paulina Rubio's last three Spanish language albums have all consecutively peaked at the #1 spot on Billboard's "Top Latin Albums" chart.
On April 30, 2007, she married Spanish public relations executive Nicolas Vallejo Najera "Colate" in Xcaret, a Mexican eco-tourism park on the Mayan Riviera.
On April 30, 1982, she began her career when she was ten years old, under the guidance of Miguel Bosé and debuting in a children's pop group called Timbiriche. The original band had 7 members: Alix Bauer, Benny Ibarra, Diego Schoening, Mariana Garza, Paulina Rubio, Sasha Sökol, and Erick Rubin (who joined a year later). Rubio recorded a total of 11 albums as part of Timbiriche. In 1985, Timbiriche participated in the musical Vaselina (Spanish adaptation of the American musical Grease). While in Timbiriche, Rubio also turned to acting in telenovelas with Televisa. She landed her first role in 1988, as the villain Paulina Montenegro in Pasión y Poder (Passion and Power). In 1992, she also starred in Baila Conmigo as Andrea, one of the biggest telenovelas of that year. Two soundtracks, Baila Conmigo and Recuerdos de Baila Conmigo, were released. Many members of the popular soap opera made many television performances on Siempre en Domingo, among other TV programs. Paulina Rubio, however, once had a fit when she found out that her long time rival Thalia's career in Telenovelas was far more successful than hers.
In 1991, Rubio left Timbiriche and focused on launching a solo career. She traveled to Spain to begin work on her first project as a solo artist. In 1992, she released her solo debut album, La Chica Dorada (The Golden Girl) under the EMI Latin record label. The album's title stuck and to this day Paulina is known as "la chica dorada" or "the golden girl" in Latin America. The album's first single "Mío" (Mine) quickly became one of her trademark songs. La Chica Dorada was certified Diamond in 1997, and she was presented with an award during her promotion of Planeta Paulina on Veronica Castro's extinct music show, La Tocada. After many reissues in countries like Mexico, USA, and Spain, the album "La Chica Dorada" has gone on to sell more than 1.2 million copies worldwide.
Paulina Rubio's presence in the English-language market came in 2002. The hit single Don't Say Goodbye rose to the 41st position on the "Billboard Hot 100" Chart and whose music video became a regular on MTV's Total Request Live. On June 18, 2002, Border Girl, Rubio's first foray into English-language-Pop, was released. The album debuted at the 11th position on the "Billboard Hot 200" Chart and was certified Gold in the US. Although her debut English album did not launch her into superstardom out of the Hispanic world, it did give Paulina the international recognition she sought for years. As of June 21, 2002, the Houston, TX radio station 104 KRBE declared the 21st of June as "Paulina Day" in Houston. Rubio also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, and CD:UK, among others. She also performed at many international festivals, including Wango Tango, Festivalbar, and Festival di Sanremo in Italy. With Border Girl, Rubio managed to appear in magazines like Rolling Stone, Stuff, and Blender. In Fall 2002, Rubio toured and performed material from Border Girl with fellow Latin pop star Enrique Iglesias.
The success of Pau-Latina opened doors for Paulina, as she hosted The MTV Latin America Awards for the first time. It was the first time a female artist hosted and proved Paulina is a force to be reckoned with. Paulina Rubio was also named People En Espanol's 2005 Star of the Year.
Paulina performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Gala in Oslo, Norway, alongside such acts as Rihanna, John Legend, and Lionel Richie, who also lined up to honor 2006 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Muhammad Yunus.
In October 2007 Rubio was involved in a government probe into whether she desecrated Mexico's flag. The Spanish edition of Cosmopolitan featured her apparently naked underneath a red, white and green sheet. The Mexican government said she may have violated an article in the National Flag, Shield and Anthem Law which states that "private individuals will give the appropriate respect to the national symbol and handle it with care". The offence can be punished by fines ranging up to about $45,000 - $50,000 MXN and jail time up to 36 hours. However in a published report, her mother spoke for her saying that the artist did not authorize such photos. |
