I remember when my grandmother told me about the Spanish language group RBD and when they announced that they were gonna cross over into the English language market I was so excited and when RBD promoted their English language album on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade I was eager to learn more about them and so for Christmas I got my own copy of RBD's album Rebels but I would like to know why RBD broke up? Because it seemed that their English language debut Rebels was a big seller and then they released two more Spanish language albums and then broke up. Were RBD losing fans or was there tension behind the scenes of RBD?

Their album sales weren’t as strong as before is why they decided to break up.

When you take a fictional music group or band from a TV show or movie and transform them into a real band sometimes the results are successful while some fail like The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family and NBC's Guys Next Door in 1991. In the case of RBD which started out as a fictional band from a Spanish soap opera on Univision I think what Univision was trying to do was make RBD like NBC's California Dreams and with the popularity of the soap opera in America and Mexico Univision knew that RBD could be popular in the English language market. With EMI Records I think they were planning a big huge step to market them for the English market. With Rebels I think RBD already had plans to appeal to the English language audience and if you listen to Rebels you can see they teamed up with songwriters such as Diane Warren and their English songs are actually good but the rest of the album is made up of English versions of their Spanish hits and I think this hurt the sales of Rebels. And another thing RBD did was put a sampler of their previous album with snippets of that album's songs and they could've put another English song instead of this sampler. But I think we will see a new comeback album in English from RBD in the future in the years to come
