Romance is the eighth studio album by Mexican singer Luis Miguel (pictured), released by WEA Latina in 1991. At the suggestion of his manager, he recorded classic boleros on the album, after songwriter Juan Carlos Calderón pulled out of a collaboration on pop songs and ballads. Singer-songwriter Armando Manzanero co-produced the album with Miguel, with arrangements by Bebu Silvetti. Miguel promoted the record with a tour of the United States and Latin America. The songs were generally well received by music critics, who praised the singing and production, and Miguel received a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album. Romance sold over seven million copies worldwide. In the United States, it spent 32 weeks at number one on the Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart, and was the first Spanish-language album by a non-crossover Latin artist to be certified gold; it was also certified gold in Brazil and Taiwan. Romance is the third-bestselling album of all time in Mexico, and the bestselling record in Argentina by a non-native artist. The album revived interest in bolero music, and Miguel released three more bolero records between 1994 and 2001. (Full article...)
