Amar Es Combatir (English: "To Love Is To Fight") is the seventh studio album released by the Mexican pop rock band Maná. The album, which was released on August 22, 2006, became the band's first release in four years.
On February 11, 2007, the album won a Grammy Award in the category of Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.[1] On April 26, 2007 it received two Billboard Latin Music Awards.[2]
The band Re-released this album with a Deluxe Limited Edition CD & DVD on March 27, 2007. The album was a commercial success selling more than 2.1 million copies worldwide.[3]
Amar Es Combatir debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart, selling nearly 87,000 copies in its first week of release in the United States. This marked the highest first-week sales and chart position for a Spanish language album by a duo or group and the first Spanish language album to debut atop the rock albums tally. It is also tied with Shakira's Fijación Oral Vol. 1 (2005) as the highest debut of a Spanish language album in the history of Billboard. Both albums were surpassed in December 2020 by Puerto-Rican singer Bad Bunny with his album El Último Tour del Mundo, which debuted at number-one on the chart.
The album has produced three Billboard Hot Latin Tracks number-one singles: "Labios Compartidos", "Bendita Tu Luz" and "Manda Una Señal".
