Though "Superheroe" enjoyed massive airplay and success in Latin America and was included in Down to Earth, the official lead single off the album was "Ojos Que No Ven", which also performed successfully in airplay. The buzz single "Gatubela" was released together with the second single off the album: "Bartender". To date, "Bartender" is the most successful song of the duo, and one of the most successful songs of 2009, reaching the number-one position in several countries. The following singles of the album were "No Debe Tocarte" and "Invencibles", which performed well in some countries. It was nominated for a Lo Nuestro Award for Urban Album of the Year.[1]

Development

edit

The album began producing in mid-to-late 2008, when their first album's single were released, "Subete" (that also had a remix version with Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Don Omar). The single wasn't as successful as expected, so the album promotion were moved to 2009, when its second single "Ojos Que No Ven" were released, being the first hit off the album.
