Xtreme was an American music group consisting of members Danny Mejia (born July 23, 1985) and Steven Tejada (born November 25, 1985) of Dominican descent. The group focuses on the Latin genre bachata. Xtreme was formed in 2003 and since then has enjoyed success among Hispanic United States.
Beginnings
The group's first album, X-treme was released in 2004 and reached #14 on the Top
"Haciendo Historia", the group's second album, was released in late 2006 and peaked at #13 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. The single "Shorty Shorty" has enjoyed similar success reaching #1 on the Billboard Latin Tropical Airplay chart and #2 on the Hot Latin Tracks chart.
Their latest album, "Chapter Dos", was released in 2008. Their lead single "Through That Window (Enamorando Estoy)" was a hit but did not perform as well as their previous single, "Shorty Shorty". "Lloro y Lloro" was therefore selected as a second single and given the success, an eight one, "Baby, Baby".
