In a unique show of support for the song and RBD, Riverside, Calif. Rhythmic station KWIE/Wild 96 played "Tu Amor" continuously last weekend, putting the song on repeat and tallying almost 500 plays, immediately putting the song in the top 20 most-played songs of the year on the station. With other airplay hotspots throughout Texas, Illinois, Florida and California, the song was played over 1700 times in its first week of national radio availability.

The group is no stranger to success -- RBD has already sold over two million copies of their Spanish-language albums in the United States, and their spring 2006 U.S. sold out such arena-sized venues as the L.A. Coliseum, Miami's American Airlines Arena, and New York's Madison Square Garden. Rebels, the group's English language debut, will be released on Virgin Records on December 26, 2006. It transforms six of the biggest RBD hits from their previous Spanish albums to English, and adds six newly-recorded tracks, including "Tu Amor," written by legendary songwriter Diane Warren (crafter of such tunes as Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart," Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss a Thing," and Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me").

RBD is comprised of the six lead actors of the Mexican telenovela Rebelde, which debuted on Televisa in 2004 and quickly became a national obsession. Following the release of an album in January 2005, the show's musical element became so popular that artists ranging from Lenny Kravitz to Hilary Duff appeared on Rebelde to promote their music in the Latin market; Gorillaz even chose to debut their "Dare" video on Rebelde rather than on MTV Mexico.

While Rebelde wrapped in the summer of 2005, episodes still run worldwide, spreading RBD's music to over a dozen countries. Rebelde won Best Pop Album of the Year at the 2006 Billboard Latin Music Awards -- and two other 2005 releases, Nuestro Amor and the live Tour Generaci�n RBD en Vivo took three of the four nominations in the category. Keep your eyes open for a feature film and a new spin-off show with the RBD stars, currently in development.
