Arrasando (English: Razing) is the seventh studio album by Mexican singer Thalía, released on 25 April 2000, by EMI Latin. She collaborated with producers like Emilio Estefan, Roberto Blades and Lawrence Dermer. In many interviews during the album launch, Thalía said that this album was different from her previous ones, because it shows her turn to a more dance/techno-influenced sound, describing it as a fusion between many types of music. Thalía co-wrote eight songs on the album, in addition, it includes two covers: the South African hit "Pata Pata" and Gloria Estefan's "Lucky Girl".
The album received positive reviews and achieved two nominations at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2001 for Female Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album, winning the latter one. Arrasando was also nominated for Pop Album of the Year at the Lo Nuestro Awards of 2001.[1][2] Upon release, the album topped the record charts of Czech Republic, Greece, Slovakia and Billboard's Latin Pop Albums, while reaching the top five on Billboard's Top Latin Albums, Spain and Hungary. Arrasando remains one of the best-selling Spanish-language albums, with over 2 million copies worldwide as of September 2001.[3]
