  • "Galería de Fotos" is Spanish for photo gallery. This is not a video and that's why there is not time limit on it.
  • An EP version of El Internacional (The International) is available on all digital streaming platforms. It contains tracks 2–5.[4] For some reason, the full edition isn't available. It could probably be because tracks 7–19 are from the standard edition. Also, some of the standard edition tracks are not in the international version.

Reception[edit]

AllMusic[5]

Top of the Line was a hit, reaching number one in Puerto Rico and knocking R.K.M & Ken-Y's album, Masterpiece, to number two (which was a huge achievement, as R.K.M & Ken-Y were being called "The New Héctor & Tito" and their CD, Masterpiece, was also an incredible hit). However, even though Top of The Line sold incredibly well, it fell short of beating Masterpiece's record of most CDs sold in the first week of release in Puerto Rico. The album would eventually reach Latin Platinum status, selling over 200,000 copies.
