RBD
RBD is a Mexican Pop group that became popular through Televisa's teenage show telenovela Rebelde, one of the most popular teen soaps in Mexico that had a huge impact on the Latin-American youth. RBD has become a great commercial success with appeal across the region and has received a Latin Grammy Award nomination. The group has also gained popularity in non-spanish speaking countries such as Brazil. The group has sold over 20 million albums worldwide.

History
Rebelde is a Mexican novela or soap opera produced by Televisa and stars the members of the group RBD. The show is a copy of an Argentinean show, Rebelde Way, but adapted for the Mexican audience with different characters. The series ran for three seasons, with the final episode being airing in Mexico in June 2006. The soap opera is set at a prestigious private boarding high school near Mexico called the Elite Way School. In addition to the students, the school's faculty and the parents are featured with subplots as well. Another feature of the show is the common use of English words and phrases used by high school kids in the US. The major story line of the series revolves around a group of students who get together to form a band called RBD. RBD is also a band in real life made up of the same band members from the show. RBD performs its music both on the show and in real life and has been considerably successful becoming one of the highest-grossing acts in Mexico and touring internationally.

The band released its debut album Rebelde in December 2004 through EMI records. Most of the music was written by DJ Kafka and Max di Carlo. The first three singles from the album Rebelde, Solo Qu?date En Silencio and S?lvame all became number one hits in Mexico, with the fourth single, Un Poco De Tu Amor reaching number two.

In 2005 a portuguese version of the album was released for the Brazilian market called Rebelde (Edi??o Brasil). Rebelde also sold well in the United States, despite the fact that it was a Spanish album and reached the Top 100 of the album charts and number two on the Top Latin Albums chart. The album sold over 400,000 copies in the U.S. and was certified diamond in both Mexico and Brazil, selling at least 1.4 million copies. In July 2005 the band released a CD/DVD, Tour Generaci?n RBD En Vivo, which included the group's sold-out tour of Mexico. The group had 35 sold-out concerts across the country, including six in Mexico City alone. N
