Televisa, a Mexican company and the world's largest Spanish-language television network[1] had exported media to many countries, and this allowed Mexican actors to take advantage of their popularity to launch music careers in countries where Televisa telenovelas were popular. Some examples of these actors are Thalía, Lucía Méndez, Guillermo Capetillo and Verónica Castro. Verónica's son, Cristian Castro, started his career and became popular throughout Latin America. Thalía toured Asia and recorded songs in Tagalog for her fans in the Philippines. Thalía also recorded an album produced by Emilio Estefan titled En Éxtasis in 1995. This album contained songs that were mixed with Latin American traditional music and was the one which renewed the success that Gloria Estefan had begun a decade before and this was the first record in the 1990s which mixed latin rhythms with pop and would reopened the market in Latin America, as well as the idea that this kind of music was indeed profitable. On the albums released later by Thalía, she mixed pop music with ranchera, banda and norteña music. Other singers such as Paulina Rubio and Aracely Arámbula have also produced songs that combine traditional Mexican music with popular music. Televisa is the largest media company in the Spanish-speaking world[1], followed by TV Azteca, and a major player in the international entertainment business. ...

2000s TV Azteca, Mexico's second-largest television network, with her company Azteca Music has also been successful in launching singers. To help with this cause TV Azteca developed a reality show called La Academia which has produced singers such as Yahir and Víctor García. Televisa attempted to compete with TV Azteca with its own reality show called Operación Triunfo which has produced sigers such as Darina, but the ratings of TV Azteca were always higher and Televisa did not produced another season of the show. However, Televisa has produced for years telenovelas that are targeted to teenagers, some of them have launched music careers of their actors. Among these are Muchachitas, Mágica Juventud, Alcanzar una Estrella, Clase 406 and more recently Rebelde which gave birth to the hit group RBD.
