Thalia

Thalía’s international breakout began in 1994 with her EMI contract and the 1995 release of En éxtasis, featuring the hit single ‘Piel morena.’ The album achieved gold, platinum, or multi-platinum status in over 20 countries. She solidified her global presence with Amor a la mexicana in 1997, whose title track became a number one hit in 14 countries. Concurrently, her acting career soared through successful telenovelas including María Mercedes, Marimar, and María la del barrio, broadcast in over 180 countries and earning her the title ‘Queen of Telenovelas.’ Building on an early career that included joining the children’s group Pac Man in 1981, performing as lead in the musical Vaselina in 1984, and recording four studio albums with Timbiriche until 1989, Thalía launched her solo music career. Her 1990 debut solo album Thalía was followed by Love (1992), reaching number 15 on Billboard’s Latin Pop Albums chart.

She released Arrasando (2000), her first English album Thalía (2003), performed at the White House in 2001 and 2009, and embarked on her first US and Mexico tour (High Voltage Tour) in 2004. Beyond entertainment, Thalía diversified into successful business ventures, launching a women’s underwear line in 1993. Her partnership with Kmart in 2002 led to a clothing collection; in 2003, her Thalía Eyewear Collection generated over $100 million in sales by 2007. Expanding her fashion presence, she signed an exclusive deal with Macy’s in 2015 for her ‘Thalia Sodi’ collection, described as the largest private-brand launch.

Her recent ventures include the ‘Eyelure’ false eyelash and eyebrow collection (2018) and the ‘Adria by Thalía’ hair care line (2019). Her latest studio albums, Valiente (2018), Mojito, and DesAMORfosis (2021), underscore her continued impact, contributing to career sales of over 25 million records worldwide.
