Alcanzar una estrella II (Album) is the second soundtrack to the telenovela Alcanzar una estrella II, released by Discos Melody. It was released as the telenovela was coming to an end in June 1991.
The telenovela's fictional pop band Muñecos de Papel was formed by Sasha, Ricky Martin, Bibi Gaytan, Pedro Fernandez, Erick Rubin and Angelica Rivera.
This album includes the voices of Bibi Gaytan and Erick Rubin - which had been omitted from its predecessor Muñecos de Papel album, released months earlier by Sony. It is, however, unclear whether Sasha, Pedro Fernandez and Angelica Rivera contributed backing vocals to the only group song "No quiero dejar de brillar" - Bibi Gaytan, Erick Rubin and Ricky Martin all have solo verses but the other members do not, and the credits do not include this information.
"No quiero dejar de brillar" did not achieve the success of the group's previous single "Muñeco de Papel". In this album, the song is not credited to the fictional band Muñecos de Papel, but to "Estrellas de Alcanzar una Estrella" (Stars from Alcanzar una Estrella), which might indicate that it was not recorded by the six members of the group. Further evidence is the fact that there are no Muñecos de Papel images in the artwork, and the back cover only features Gaytan and Rubin (then under contract with Melody), and other telenovela cast members who were not part of Muñecos de Papel but did contribute songs: Angelica Ruvalcaba, Marisa de Lille and Hector Suarez Gomis. There are no images of Sasha, Martin, Fernandez and Rivera.
The album was not as successful as Muñecos de Papel; still, Bibi Gaytan had her first solo hit with the single "Tan solo una mujer". No further singles were released.
