Fantasía Pop (Spanish for: Pop Fantasy) is the third studio album by Mexican electropop band Belanova. It was released worldwide on September 2007. The album was recorded in Argentina.[1] The lead single, "Baila Mi Corazón" premiered on July 2 on Mexican radio station Los 40 Principales.[2]

It was certified gold by AMPROFON in Mexico only three days after its release, for selling over 50,000 copies.[3] The album entered the Mexican charts at number eighteen and went to number one in its third week.[4] "Baila Mi Corazón" ranked in the top twenty in the U.S. Latin Pop Airplay. "Cada Que..." went on to sell over 200,000 downloads in the United States alone.[5] When the album was certified Platinum in March 2008 in Mexico, the band made history when it was published that digital sales of the album were five times higher than the physical sales.[6] [7] The album was released in Spain in early April 2008.[8]

It won Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 9th Latin Grammy Awards.[9] At the MTV Latin America Awards 2008, Belanova won Best North Artist and Video of the Year for "One, Two, Three, Go!".
