Diva (Ivy Queen album)
''Diva'' is the third studio album by Puerto Rican reggaetón recording artist Ivy Queen. It was released on August 23, 2003 and independently distributed by Real Music Group after being dropped from Sony Discos. The recording followed her two previous studio albums which were commercially unsuccessful and a hiatus from her musical career beginning in 1999. It featured collaborations with Latin hip hop artists including Mexicano 777, Bimbo and K-7 while the album's production was handled by a variety of musical producers; Luny Tunes, DJ Nelson, Noriega, and Iván Joy were enlisted, while DJ Adam produced a majority of the tracks. Lyrically, the album explored female empowerment, infidelity, heartbreak and love with "a veritable compendium of her artistic passion, femininity, and culture". The musical styles of the recording alternate between reggaetón and hip-hop while Queen experiments with R&B and pop balladry.
''Diva'' spawned a total of seven singles: "Quiero Bailar", "Quiero Saber", "Papi Te Quiero", "Guillaera", "Tuya Soy", "Tu No Puedes", and "Súbelo", which were released over the course of three years. "Quiero Bailar" became a commercial success and her first big hit in the United States and Puerto Rico, while the other six singles failed to acquire chart success on national charts. Highly anticipated and acclaimed, ''Diva'' peaked at number twenty-four on the ''Billboard'' Top Latin Albums chart, number eight on the ''Billboard'' Top Heatseekers chart for the South Atlantic area, number four on the ''Billboard'' Reggae Albums and number one on the ''Billboard'' Tropical Albums chart. It became the eighth best-selling Tropical Album of 2004, while the recording helped Queen to become the eighth best-selling Tropical Artist of that year. The album was recognized as a "door-opener" for reggaetón's mainstream exposure in 2004.
==Background==
After the failed commercial success of Ivy Queen's first two studio albums, ''En Mi Imperio'' (1997) and ''The Original Rude Girl'' (1998), she was dropped from the Sony label and took a hiatus from her musical career in 1999. The 1999 single, "In The Zone", a duet with Haitian singer Wyclef Jean, was a moderate success in the United States. The following single "Ritmo Latino" and its parent album, were overlooked by consumers and failed to chart.〔 However, ''The Original Rude Girl'' was critically acclaimed by many including an editor for Allmusic who awarded the album four out of five stars and listed it as an selected "Allmusic Pick". This occurred after she left Sony and stepped out of Wyclef Jean's shadow.〔
In 2001 and 2002, Queen began appearing on reggaetón compilation albums spawning hits like "Quiero Bailar" from ''The Majestic 2'' and "Quiero Saber" from ''Kilates''. In 2003, Queen and her then-husband Gran Omar signed with Real Music, an independent label based in Miami, Florida and established by Jorge Guadalupe and Anthony Pérez.〔 They appeared on the label's first album ''Jams Vol. 1'' which Pérez released after several major record labels turned him down. She benefited from Pérez producing the "important reggaetón television show" ''The Roof'', which aired on Mun2 and detailed urban music and lifestyle by frequently appearing and performing on the show.
