Fantasía Pop is the third studio album from the Mexican electro pop band Belanova.

Alex Enríquez, the band's manager sent a press release announcing Belanova's new album, Fantasía Pop. The album was released September 2007 in Mexico, Spain, the United States and the rest of Latin America. Simultaneously, the album was recorded in Argentina.[1] The first single, "Baila Mi Corazón" was premiered on July 2 on Mexican radio station Los 40 Principales.[2]

After three days in the shops the album went on to sell over 50,000 copies in Mexico alone being certified Gold by AMPROFON.[3] The album entered the Mexican charts at number-eighteen, before climbing to number-one on its third week becoming Belanova's second number-one album and it has so far spent three weeks at the top.[4] The album lifted the band's fourth and fifth number-one singles in Mexico, "Baila Mi Corazón" (which also became a top five hit in Colombia and top twenty in the U.S. Latin Pop Charts) and "Cada Que..." which went on to sell over 200,000 downloads in the United States alone.[5][6] 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.[7][8] The album was released in Spain in early April 2008.[9]
