Xuxa 5 (Xuxa Five) is the seventh studio album and the sixth in Portuguese by Brazilian pop singer, TV host and actress Xuxa Meneghel. It was released on August 1, 1990 by Som Livre. It was the fifth album in the series Xou de Xuxa. The best-known songs from this album are "Pinel Por Você", "Trem Fantasma" and mainly "Lua de Cristal". The album sold more than 1 million copies in Brazil.

Production

In Xuxa 5, it is possible to notice a certain maturation of the production of the Xuxa albums. Without leaving aside what the public liked in the other four previous albums of the series Xou da Xuxa, the album brings influences of other rhythms like lambada that was the great fashion of the time.

There were 20 songs recorded for the album, but only 13 were chosen for the tracklist. Among those discarded was the "Direito dos Baixinhos", which was sung in the Xuxa Xou's special XV.

"Lua de Cristal", the biggest hit on the album and the second largest in Xuxa's career, was composed primarily as the theme song for the film. Xuxa liked it so much that she decided to include it in the album. "Pinel Por Você", another highlight track, was the last composition of Cid Guerrero for Xuxa that became hit.

The Children's Queen always worried about passing messages on her records, she wanted children to learn something by listening to her songs. In "Cobra, Chapéu e Palito", the singer teaches the difference between accents. Already in "Leitura", as its title says, was composed to encourage children to read more books. In addition to "O Boto Rosa" that talks about nature.

Xuxa 5 was produced in partnership with the double Michael Sullivan and Paulo Massadas, with artistic coordination Max Pierre and Aramis Barros. It was recorded in the studios of Som Livre.[1]

Release and reception

Xuxa 5 was released on August 1, 1990 by Som Livre in CD, cassette and LP formats.[2][3][4] The album reaching rapid popularity thanks to "Lua de Cristal" song recorded by Xuxa, and theme eponymous film released together. In 1991, the album was released in Argentina on tape, but without authorization, being a bootleg.[5] "Lua de Cristal" reached #1 in the official parade of Brazil, and its Spanish language version reached 35 position in the Top Latin Pop Songs Chart of Billboard, staying for seven consecutive weeks.[6] With only LP Xuxa 5 sales and their first album in Spanish, the host earned 2.7 million dollars in an interval of two years, according to the Brazilian magazine Veja.[7] The album sold more than 1 million copies in Brazil, being certified platinum by Associação Brasileira de Produtores de Discos (ABPD).[8]

Xuxa 5 was re-released in 1995 and 1996 on K7 and CD, in 2006 on CD re-released in celebration of Xuxa's 20 years on Globo Network.[9][10][11] Has the same catalog number from the other versions, but different barcode and art.
