History and Success
The album's first single "Desesperada" was an instant success in Mexico and Spain, reaching #1 in both countries and #9 on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks. For this single, the artist won "Best Dance Song" at the 1994 Eres Awards in México. The second single "De Mujer a Mujer" was another hit. "Tal Vez" (co-written by Thomas Anders of Modern Talking fame) and "Nube de Verano" were released as third and fourth singles, respectively, in Latin America. However, in Europe, "Amén" and "Lejos de Aquella Noche" were successful singles also.
Mujer peaked at #49 on the Top Latin Albums chart. The album sold one million copies internationally and remains the biggest seller for the artist. It was included on the Annual Review for the Best Albums of 1994 by the Mexican magazine Eres.
Woman, the English version of the album, includes the same tracks but in a different order, and it also has a bonus track: a new version of "Desesperada" entitled "Desperate Lovers" featuring Paulo Ricardo.

Famous quotes containing the words history and, history and/or success:
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“The logic of worldly success rests on a fallacy: the strange error that our perfection depends on the thoughts and opinions and applause of other men! A weird life it is, indeed, to be living always in somebody else’s imagination, as if that were the only place in which one could at last become real!”
—Thomas Merton (1915–1968)
