GENRES come and go, but pop is forever. This has been demonstrated by albums such as REIK’s debut, which on May 24 celebrates 20 years since its release, demonstrating that its impact remains intact.
REIK (2005) was not only a success: it was the beginning of an unstoppable story. The album broke barriers, touched souls and sowed the way with a unique style for what is today one of the most recognized groups in Mexico worldwide.
“Qué Vida la Mía”, “Noviembre Sin Ti”, “Yo Quisiera” – which became #1 on Mexican pop radio – are just some of the songs with which the Mexican trio stole sighs and redefined the sound of romantic pop for an entire generation.
The album was installed in such a way in the hearts of the public that, since then, it became a tradition to create content and play “Noviembre Sin Ti” during the month of November. The album is still in people’s ears with such force that it features: 3 Platinum Records + 1 Gold Record.
This is without counting the recognitions of those years such as:
Position #3 in the Top 100 Best-Selling Albums in Mexico in 2005.
Latin GRAMMY® nominations for Best New Artist, a key recognition that marked the international take-off of his career.
3 MTV Video Music Awards Latin America 2005:
• Best Group
• Best Mexican Artist
• Best New Mexico Artist.
Appeared on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart (in the United States) with:
• Yo Quisiera – at #11 • Qué Vida La Mía – at #18 • Noviembre Sin Ti – #22 on the Billboard Charts 2005
Today, when the world needs romantic ballads REIK (2005) and its 1.11MM global streams on Spotify, confirm that pop remains.
