Cocktail is the debut album of Mexican electropop band Belanova. The album was recorded in Mexico City in 2002 and released on 14 February 2003 with very little promotion. Some Mexican radio stations started adding the first single, "Tus Ojos" to their playlists in the spring of 2003. By the summer of that year the album entered the charts in Mexico, reaching its peak position of #5 and #3 on the Mexican Latin Albums Chart. The band embarked on a 100-concert tour across the country and the album finally reached Gold status (for selling 50,000 copies) after three official singles. The Mexican edition of Rolling Stone named the album, Cocktail, one of the best five albums of 2003. In 2005 the album was re-issued on reduced priced collections by Universal Music Mexico and because of this the sales of the album increased considerably, re-entering on the Mexican Top 100 Albums at seventy-nine and peaking at fifty-four after a few weeks. The album has been re-issued on Universal Music's slide-pack collections, making it the first time that the album has been available outside of Mexico.

<i>Vapor Trails</i> 2002 studio album by Rush

Vapor Trails is the seventeenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush. It was released on May 14, 2002, on Anthem Records, and was their first studio release since Test for Echo (1996), the longest gap between two Rush albums. After the Test For Echo tour finished in July 1997, drummer and lyricist Neil Peart suffered the loss of his daughter and then his wife in separate tragedies. As a result, the group entered an extended hiatus during which it was not certain they would continue. They eventually reunited in January 2001 to rehearse material for a new album, recording for which lasted until December. For the first and only time since Caress of Steel (1975), the group did not use any keyboards or synthesizers in their music, incorporating many layers of guitar, bass and drums instead.

Mœnia is also popular in other parts of Latin America, including the Argentinian and Chilean music markets, where they have also charted. Some of their most recognized singles include "Estabas Ahí", "No Dices Más" and "Manto Estelar".
