"Sólo Quédate En Silencio" (English: "Just Remain in Silence") is the second single released from RBD's debut album Rebelde. The second single was first meant to be "Un Poco De Tu Amor", but due the heavy rotation of "Sólo Quédate En Silencio", it was chosen to be second single.

Chart performance

The song became RBD's first successful single internationally, charting in the U.S. The song peaked at number two in Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks, as well as number twenty-three (#23) on the U.S. Hot Ringtones chart and number one in Hot Latin Pop Airplay chart.

The Brazilian version of the song peaked at number 2 in Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks.[1]

It received good reviews by critics and gave RBD mainstream radio airplay in the U.S. It was also used to promote the first season of their soap opera Rebelde.

An English version of the song was also recorded in 2006. The song is called "Keep It Down Low" and appears on RBD's first English studio album, Rebels.

The song has a version in Portuguese too, called "Fique Em Silêncio" (Get In Silence) and was a single on Brazil. This makes the song the only from RBD, along with Sálvame, Tenerte Y Quererte, Nuestro Amor and Dame to have three versions: in Spanish, English and Portuguese.

In November 2008, Sólo Quédate En Silencio promotes in the Latin-American countries of Argentina and Uruguay, besides Equatorial Guinea, in Africa.
