Thalía

Ariadna Thalía Sodi Miranda, better known by her stage name Thalía, was born on August 26, 1971 in Mexico City. The woman who would become known as the "Queen of Latin Pop" might never have been able to sing, for traumatized at the age of six by the death of her father from diabetes, she suffered from childhood disintegrative disorder and lost her voice for almost a year. She was also bullied at school. When she was nine, she became a singer in a children's group called Pac Man, then Din-Din. This group released four albums between 1982 and 1983. In 1984, she went solo. She then joined the cast of Vaselina, a children's adaptation of Grease, as an actress and singer. In 1986, she became a member of the group Timbiriche, with whom she recorded four albums, and the following year made her TV acting debut in a telenovela, Pobre Señorita Limantour . In 1990, she released her first solo album, soberly named Thalía, from which four singles were taken: "Amarillo Azul", "Pienso en Ti" (11th in Mexico), "Un Pacto entre los Dos " (16th) and "Saliva ". The following year, she followed this up with a second opus, Mundo de Cristal . She then left for Spain to create her third album, Love, supported by the singles "Sangre" (#2), "Love" (#5) and "La Vida en Rosa" . It reaches #15 on Billboard's specialized Latin Pop Albums chart in the USA. She was signed to EMI, which released her fourth album, En Extasis , in 1995. It is accompanied by the hit single "Piel Morena " (#7 US Latin on the Billboard charts). In 1997, the singer further extended her fame with Amor a la Mexicana, produced by Emilio Estefan. This album included the hits "Mujer Latina" (#13 in Spain), "Por Amor" (#55 in Romania) and "Amor a la Mexicana " (#2 in Spain). In 2000, Thalía released her sixth album, Arrasando (#1 on Billboard's US Latin Pop chart), which earned her a Latin Grammy Award for Best Album Achievement. Her second album of the same name, released in 2002, reached number 126 on the US album chart in its Spanish version, and number 11 in its English version. Between 2012 and 2014, she topped the Mexican charts with the albums Habitame Siempre, Viva Kids Vol. 1 and Amore Mío . She completes her dicography in the 2020s with Viva Kids Vol. 2 in 2020, Desamorfosis the following year and Thalía's Mixtape in 2023.
