00:16Hello and welcome to WatchMojo Español, I'm Fernando and for this list we will be looking at the most iconic songs of the queen of Latin Pop, Thalia.
00:25It is worth clarifying that we will only be including her songs as a soloist, so we will leave her collaborations for another list.
00:34Number 10. Amor a la Mexicana.
00:36🎵
00:48Some artists have their homeland tattooed and if we review Thalia's discography, we can only say that Mexico is present.
00:57Amor a la Mexicana, to date, is a classic of Latin music and the artist's discography.
01:03And as expected by the title, it highlights its strong influences of the Mexican regional genre.
01:09🎵
01:20A curious fact is that, to date, Thalia has released 11 versions in total, between remixes, versions with different instruments and live versions.
01:32And the truth is that we could never have enough of this classic.
01:36🎵
01:47Number 9. Sangre.
01:49🎵
02:01Although Thalia's music, one tends to relate it more with danceable, exuberant and Latino songs,
02:08we must not forget that this singer also gave us great ballads and emotional lyrics.
02:14Sangre, the first single on the album Love and written by the same singer, is a dedication of love that is said to have been written, thought of her boyfriend at the time, Alfredo Díaz Ordaz.
02:26🎵
02:36A romance that was full of controversy from the beginning, mainly because of the age difference of those involved.
02:43And although it was said that Díaz Ordaz planned to take Thalia to the altar,
02:47everything ended in tragedy when the composer died of hepatitis in 1993.
02:53🎵
03:06Number 8. Tú y yo.
03:08🎵
03:16Chosen as the first single on Thalia's album in 2002, Tú y yo was a hit that brought Thalia back to the top of the Latin music charts.
03:25A song with a lot of fury, flirtatious lyrics and a great energy to her best style.
03:30🎵
03:41If you like it a lot, you are lucky because it has several versions.
03:45A cumbia version with Aby Quintanilla and Cumbia Kings, a ballad version, a northern version,
03:52an English version that was included in the soundtrack of the EA Sports Nascar 2007 video game among many other remixes.
04:00Positioning itself at the top of the charts from Argentina to Spain, passing through Bolivia and the United States,
04:07the success of the song propelled the sales of the album Thalia around the world.
04:12🎵
04:16Number 7. ¿A quién le importa?
04:19🎵
04:27It does not always happen that a cover is well received by the audience,
04:31but when it comes to the cover of a very successful song.
04:35And it is that for when the Mexican singer decided to include her version of the song ¿A quién le importa? on her album Thalia,
04:41the song was already considered a hymn for the LGBTQ plus community and a resounding success.
04:48🎵
05:01Originally released in the 80s by the group Alaska y Dinarama,
05:06it is considered the most successful and important song of the legendary Spanish group.
05:11The version of Thalia released in 2002 brought back the reflector on this song and its meaning,
05:18and it is that the Mexican star has not missed the opportunity to demonstrate her status as a gay icon
05:24and her unwavering support to the LGBTQ plus community.
05:28🎵
05:43Number 6. Por lo que reste de vida.
05:46🎵
05:52Written by Ricky Montaner and released as the first single on the album Amor e Mío from 2014,
05:58since the original release of the album, the critics pointed out this ballad as an inevitable classic
06:04and one of the most passionate and impressive songs of the singer in years.
06:09🎵
06:24And they were not wrong, since Por lo que reste de vida is, to date,
06:29one of the most successful ballads we can find on YouTube,
06:33since the music video has exceeded the amazing figure of 110 million plays.
06:39With a lyric that speaks of a committed love for life,
06:43we are sure that it must have sounded in more than one marriage.
06:47🎵
06:54Number 5. Piel morena.
06:56🎵
07:07One of her songs that is famous for excellence, Piel morena,
07:10was one of those phenomena that began to position Thalia as an icon,
07:15not only Mexican, but international.
07:17Released as the first single on the album En Éxtasis,
07:21the song was the artist's first hit on international popularity charts,
07:26and this prompted the album to be the most sold in Brazil by a Mexican artist
07:32and receive double platinum album in Argentina.
07:35🎵
07:45Piel morena, and Thalia's image in general at the time,
07:49caused a negative stir in the press for the explicit and provocative.
07:54However, the theme was still consolidated as a classic of the time,
07:58chosen in a survey carried out by Univision
08:01as the best Spanish song of the time in the United States.
08:05🎵
08:10Number 4. Equivocada.
08:12🎵
08:25Primera Fila is a series of live concerts similar to MTV Unplugged,
08:29and in the case of Thalia,
08:31despite the fact that live albums never usually sell as much as studio albums,
08:35she showed that she can be the exception to the rule.
08:38The artist's first live work was a total sensation.
08:43Certified diamond, several singles were released of this,
08:47the first being Equivocada.
08:49🎵
09:02Praised for the criticism, the single became one of the most successful ballads of the decade,
09:07with, to date, more than half a billion views on YouTube
09:11and being the first song of any Mexican artist
09:15to achieve more than 100 million reproductions at the time.
09:19🎵
09:30Number 3. Entre el mar y una estrella.
09:33🎵
09:41While it was not her first international hit,
09:44Entre el mar y una estrella was that song that consolidated Thalia
09:48as a force of success in the world of music outside of Mexico.
09:52🎵
10:03Reaching number 1 on Billboard,
10:05this soft ballad and its clear Latin American tints have become favorites by fans.
10:11The song tells us about a love that has already left this world,
10:15but that does not lose the hope of a reunion,
10:18and the video clip, said by herself, is the favorite of the performer.
10:23🎵
10:32Number 2. Arrasando.
10:34🎵
10:41One would think that the most successful song of Arrasando,
10:45singer's sixth studio album, would be Entre el mar y una estrella,
10:49but that was until the arrival of the homonymous song and third single on the album.
10:54Arrasando not only became one of her most remembered and successful songs,
10:59but also an insignia word that would not stop relating several decades later with the strength of the performer.
11:06🎵
11:14A mix of Eurodance and very fast Latin pop,
11:18the song is remembered for its entangled and iconic verse,
11:22which looked more like a tongue twister,
11:24and the power of its charged chorus to the best Latin pop style of the time.
11:29🎵
11:33The song was also released for the English-speaking market with the title of It's My Party.
11:39For those who have taken the work of understanding and analyzing the lyrics,
11:43they know that Arrasando speaks of a deep human optimism,
11:47of leaving behind mistakes and following euphoric towards the future to continue Arrasando.
