MTV Unplugged is a live album by Ricky Martin released on November 7, 2006 in CD and DVD formats by Sony BMG Norte.

Background

MTV Unplugged was taped on August 17, 2006 in Miami. It premiered on MTV Latin America, MTV Tr3s and MTV Puerto Rico in October 2006. This album includes Puerto Rican influences, particularly "Tu Recuerdo" (based mainly on a Puerto Rican "aguinaldo jíbaro",[2] and finishing with an "aguinaldo orocoveño"[3]) and "Pégate", a Puerto Rican plena. Christian Nieves plays the Puerto Rican cuatro on both tracks. Viento de agua and Joseph Quevedo played the plena drums in "Pégate".

Formats

The album was re-released as a CD and DVD combo-package in May 2007. An exclusive Wal-Mart packaging was made available with the original CD purchase and a DVD titled "The Making of Ricky Martin MTV Unplugged", which includes a 40-minute behind the scenes documentary and the music video to "Tu Recuerdo". The music video for "Tu Recuerdo" is just an extracted live performance of the song from MTV Unplugged.

Chart performance

In the United States, MTV Unplugged debuted at number one on the Top Latin Albums and number thirty-eight on the Billboard 200, with first week sales of 29,000 copies. It has also charted inside top ten in Argentina, Spain and Mexico.

MTV Unplugged was certified 2× Platinum Latin award in the United States, Diamond in Mexico, 2× Platinum in Argentina, and Gold in Spain. In the US, it has sold over 197,000 copies.[4]

Three new tracks on the album included: "Tu Recuerdo", which topped the Hot Latin Songs for three weeks and peaked at number eighty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100; "Pégate", second single that peaked at number eleven on the Hot Latin Songs and number six on the Hot Dance Club Songs and "Con Tu Nombre", which peaked at number forty-seven on the Hot Latin Songs.
