Album information

The album was released on November 21 2006 through EMI Records in Mexico and November 24 in the United States. RBD also recorded this album in Portuguese, see Celestial Versão Brasil. The Brazilian edition includes 8 Portuguese tracks and 3 Spanish tracks and was released on November 25 2006.Celestial was produced by both Carlos Lara and Armando Ávila, who are responsible for the success of the first two studio albums Rebelde and Nuestro Amor.

The album climbed to number-two of Mexican Top 100 Albums Chart.[3] In Mexico, in its day of release, the album went on to sell 100,000 copies enough to be certified platinum.

The album sold 137,000 copies in 4 days in the U.S., making it debut at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums for 9 consecutive weeks and in number 15 in the Billboard 200 which is a record breaking for a latin american act.[4] . The album however did not have a full week of album sales, due to its release being on Friday. However both facts, it's their first album to peak at the top 20 of the Billboard 200.

The album debuted at number one in Chile and stayed there for 6 consecutive weeks.

The album debuted at number 10 in Brazil, with the Portuguese version not appearing in the charts yet. The next week, it moved up to #8 and then to #6 to eventually peak at #3. The Portuguese version debuted at number 27 in Brazil and peaked at #17.[5] In Brazil, both albums (the brazilian and spanish edition together) has sold over 300,000 copies.[6]

The track "Tu Dulce Voz" is the spanish cover of a song called "Little Voice", originally recorded by Swedish singer Sahlene, but most recently by American pop singer Hilary Duff.

The lead off single "Ser o parecer" was a success all over the world toping the Mexican airplay and U.S. singles charts. It is now known that RBD is releasing three singles simultaneously all over America. While Mexico is getting "Celestial", "Besame Sin Miedo" will be sent to Colombia, and at the same time the United States and Puerto Rico will be able to hear "Dame" on their local radio station. "Dame" has already received airplay on the Latin radios in the U.S, resulting into the song appearing on the Hot Latin Songs chart at number 38 and even number 18 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart.[7] While the song is also slated for a Peru release, it's "Algún Día" that has started getting airplay there, managing to chart at number 91 on the Peruvian Airplay chart.[8]

The album was released in Spain on March 12, 2007.[2] It debuted at number 2 for 2 weeks selling enough to be certified Gold (in just 2 weeks).

Reviews

For Celestial, their third Spanish-language studio album, ... it generally pays off to give customers what they want and expect, and Celestial should indeed please the teen pop group's hemisphere-spanning fan base as well as the suits at EMI ...
