Gold And Platinum Albums For Univision Records Pilar Montenegro
Mexican Television Variety Show, Gran Musical, Became Stage For Recognition of Latin Recording Artist
Woodland Hills, CA -- Recently, Mexico’s leading variety show, Gran Musical, became the perfect stage to honor talented recording artist Pilar Montenegro with two important music industry awards.
The first recognition was a Platinum Album for exceeding 200,000 units in sales in the U.S. for her album titled “Desahogo.” The second accolade was a Gold Album for selling more than 75,000 units of the same album in Mexico. The album’s success can be attributed in part to the smash hit single “Quítame Ese Hombre,” which broke radio records and reached the #1 position of music charts in Mexico, the U.S., Puerto Rico, Central and South America.
“Quítame Ese Hombre”, has undoubtedly positioned Pilar Montenegro as the unrivalled favorite recording artist of the Hispanic community all over the world; clearly evidenced by the high sales her album has registered to date globally.
Pilar Montenegro was a guest of honor in the Sunday edition of Gran Musical, an entirely music-focused variety show that has rapidly become a staple of Spanish language television among millions of Hispanic viewers in Mexico, Latin America and the U.S.
Aside from obtaining her respective Gold and Platinum albums and as a token of her appreciation, Pilar Montenegro also performed the smash hit “Quítame Ese Hombre,” and delighted the live audience and millions of television viewers across the globe with her second single ”Alguien Que Una Vez Amé.”
Montenegro expressed her gratitude and happiness to the audience and thanked them for their support and warm acceptance of her album. Univision Records is proud to present Pilar Montenegro with these coveted awards, both synonymous with success, perseverance, hard work and tireless professionalism. Montenegro’s latest single is “Yo Sé Que Te Amo,” a sultry pop ballad that has started to hit radio airwaves across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
