15 Años is a studio album by the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, released in 1992.[1] At the time, the group consisted of Adrián Olivares and new members: Abel Talamántez, Alexis Grullón, Andy Blázquez, and Ashley Ruiz.[2] This would be the last album featuring Adrián, who was replaced by Ricky López in 1993.[2]
After the success of their previous album, Detras de tu Mirada, in countries like Peru, Menudo released two English singles titled "Dancin', Movin', Shakin'" and Cosmopolitan Girl, under the McGillis Records label.[1] For this new project, the group re-recorded some songs from Menudo's discography, originally performed by members from other line-ups, and also included new tracks.[3] Although the album is titled Quince Años (15 Years), the group was already 17 years into their career.[3]
About the new album, Alexis, one of the members, commented: "Our new album is celebratory. It not only contains well-known songs from the group but also brings new material." [3] Ashley added: "People who listen to Quince Años will realize that Menudo is much more than a group of five teenagers who sing and dance and sell millions of albums worldwide (...) Menudo is good music, clean and appropriate for young people. It’s a group that only promotes positive things and is against injustice, drugs, and violence." [3]
To promote the new album, three singles were released: "Buscame", "Y Tú Que Ni Te Fijas", and "Lo Que Juramos". Commercially, "Buscame" was the most successful, reaching the number-one spot on radio charts in Peru.[4] As part of the promotion, Menudo embarked on a tour that included performances in the United States and Europe.[3]
