Listen to Rbd on Batanga

RBD debuted in December 2004 with the album Rebelde, released through EMI. The main writers and producers for the project were Carlos Lara (aka D.J. Kafka) and Max di Carlo, and their songs proved just as popular as the show. The first three singles ("Rebelde", "Solo Quédate en Silencio" and "Sálvame") were all number one hits in Mexico, with the fourth single, "Un Poco de Tu Amor" reaching number two. In November 2005 a Portuguese languaged edition of the album was released for the Brazilian market called Rebelde (Edição Brasil). Although no English language edition was released, Rebelde sold well in the States, breaking into the Top 100 of the album chart (#95) and reaching number two on the Top Latin Albums chart. Rebelde sold over 400,000 copies in the U.S. and was certified diamond in both Mexico and Brazil, selling at least 1.4 million copies between the two of them.

In October of 2005 came their second studio album, Nuestro Amor, produced by Carlos Lara which set new sales records in Mexico, selling 127,000 copies on the day of release, and 160,000 copies in its first week alone. In the U.S., the album topped the Latin Albums Chart for 3 weeks and again broke into the overall Top 100 (#88). The first four singles hit number one in Mexico. In the United States, only "Nuestro Amor" (#6), "Aún Hay Algo" (#24) and Este Corazón" (#10) charted on the Hot Latin chart.

In May 2006, they released a Portuguese version of Nuestro Amor, entitled Nosso Amor Rebelde (Edição Brasil), especially for the Brazilian fans. With the June 2 finale of Rebelde (after three seasons), came the news that the group would begin filming a new soap opera and record an English language album composed of songs from their first two albums and some new songs. 2006 also brought RBD a nomination for the Latin Grammy Awards in the category "Best Pop Album by a Group or Duo" for Nuestro Amor. However, they lost the award to La Oreja de Van Gogh, but did a performance, singing a new version of "Tras de Mí".

In November 2006, they released their third studio album Celestial produced and directed by Carlos Lara which debuted at number 15 in the Billboard 200, marking first-week sales of over 137,000 copies in the U.S. The album however did not have a full week of album sales, due to its Friday release. Despite this, it became their first album to peak or chart within the top 20 of the Billboard 200.

One month later they released their first English album, Rebels which debuted at number 40 on the Billboard 200 album chart with first-week sales of 94,000 copies. On the day of release, the cover of the album was altered by the changing of the group's logo from white to pink.

The first worldwide "RBD Day" was held on October 4, 2007. RBD celebrated the day with many fans in Houston, Texas, and during their press conference they confirmed that their fourth Spanish studio album will be titled Empezar Desde Cero produced again by Carlos Lara and Armando Avila.

An official press release from RBD's website stating that the group is going through a transformation phase and that in the coming year the popular group from Mexico will officially disband. El Ultimo Adios is RBD's last and final studio album. The first single is called Gracias Por Todo (Thank You for Everything). The group is currently working on the record and it set to be released sometime early 2009. It's been announced that the whole group is writing for the very first time together on a couple of songs. Out of the five studio records previously released, RBD is dedicating this record to all their fans that supported them since the start till now.
