20 años is the seventh studio album recorded by Mexican singer Luis Miguel, It was released by WEA Latina on May 18, 1990. The album was produced by Spanish singer-songwriter, composer and record producer Juan Carlos Calderón, who had worked on the two previous albums by Luis Miguel, and was a massive success across Latin-America, Spain, and with Hispanic listeners in the United States. A large majority of the tracks from the album received radio airplay, but the songs officially issued as singles were "Tengo Todo Excepto A Tí", "Entrégate", "Amante del Amor", "Hoy el aire huele a ti", "Más allá de todo" and "Será que no me amas".

In 1991, the album received a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album in the 33rd Annual Grammy Awards and for Lo Nuestro Award for Pop Album of the Year at the 3rd Lo Nuestro Awards.[2]

This album was the album that confirmed the success that Luis Miguel had reached with his last album Busca Una Mujer. The album broke the record in Mexico of most copies sold in one weekend (600,000 copies during the release weekend).

"Será que no me amas" had an "official choreography" that remains popular in Latin America to date. The album's second song, Oro de ley has become known among fans of professional wrestling for being the entrance theme of Japanese joshi wrestler Akira Hokuto.[3][4]

Promotion

To promote the album, Luis Miguel began his 20 Años Tour on 12 July 1990 in Mexico City. On this tour he performed several shows at Mexico's Centro de Espectáculos Premier. These concerts were recorded and later released as a VHS video called Luis Miguel: 20 Años.[5]
