Un Sol (stylized as ...Un Sol), also known as 1 + 1 = 2 Enamorados,[1] is the debut studio album by Mexican singer Luis Miguel. Released in 1982, when Miguel was eleven years old. The album peaked at number two at the California's "Hot Latin LPs".[2]

Four songs from the album were done in Portuguese and released as two different singles in Brazil. According to the Brazilian newspaper A Luta Democrática, the single "1 + 1 = Dois Apaixonados" was certified gold there while the single "Mentira" sold 80,000 copies in the country.[3] The success motivated the label to plan an album by the singer with songs in Brazilian Portuguese.[3]

According to different sources the album sold around 700,000 copies in Miguel's home country, earning a gold and platinum certification there,[4][5] and one million copies in Mexico alone.[6][7] In Argentina it sold over 10,000 copies.[8]
