Chart Performance
Mi Tierra became one of the most successful Latin albums of all time, topping charts in Spain and the U.S., and charting highly in some non-Spanish-speaking countries such as the UK and Switzerland, where it was the first Latin album to do so. It was also the first Latin album in the Billboard magazine to reach the Top 40 in the category of Billboard 200. Mi Tierra spent one week at number one on the Latin Pop Album charts, and dominated the Tropical charts for nearly two years until being succeeded by La India for Dicen Que Soy and later Merengue En La Calle 8 95, a merengue compilation album.

Famous quotes containing the words chart and/or performance:
“Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
