Pau-Latina is the seventh studio album by Mexican recording artist Paulina Rubio, released on February 10, 2004 by Universal Music Mexico.

Background

The album was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award in 2004 for Best Female Pop Vocal Album and a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album in 2005. With this album, Rubio became one of the few female Latin singers to achieve four top ten singles from a single album on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart: "Te Quise Tanto" (#1), "Algo Tienes" (#4), "Dame Otro Tequila" (#1) and "Mía" (#8). Also, Pau-Latina was number one in sales in Mexico as well as the U.S. on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.

Artwork Controversy

'Pau-Latina' was in the Spanish-media in 2016 because Rubio's artwork from the album 'Pau-Latina' was being copied/imitated by Mexican-singer Thalía. Thalia had announced and shared the artwork for her new upcoming 2016 album titled "Latina", and controversy occurred because the Mexican-Singer (Thalia) had seem to copy/"borrowed" the name flow from 'Pau-Latina' to Thalia 'Latina' [1] [2]

Tour

Rubio started her first solo concert tour named "Pau-lenques" in support of this album.

Singles

Pau-Latina spawned four official singles, giving Paulina her first two number one hits on Latin radio in the U.S.: “Te Quise Tanto” and “Dame Otro Tequila”. With this album, Paulina became one of the few artists to have four Top 10 singles from the same album on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart.

"Te Quise Tanto" is Rubio's most successful single to date, which spent six non-consecutive weeks at #1 and earned several music awards. The album's third single, "Dame Otro Tequila", also climbed to #1 in December 2004. Although "Algo Tienes" and "Mía" were the only other two singles released by Rubio's record label, that did not prevent tracks like "My Friend, Mi Amigo", "Perros", "Alma En Libertad", and "Volverás" from gaining airplay with no promotion on behalf of Paulina's record label.
