[edit] Release
It was confirmed the single to be the second single from the album in January 2007 in Mexico. Originally, in 2006, "Bésame Sin Miedo" was to be released as the second single. Instead, plans were made to release "Bésame Sin miedo" in the rest of Latin America and release "Celestial" only in Mexico. Due to the band being too busy recording RBD: La Familia, promoting both albums (Celestial and Rebels) and touring around the world, plans to release "Bésame sin miedo" were postponed. Therefore, "Celestial" was released in Mexico in March 2007 and in the rest of Latin America the song was sent to radio at the end of April.
[edit] Music video
On February 11 2007, RBD recorded the music video for "Celestial" nearby the Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl volcanos in Mexico City. The video was directed by Esteban Madrazo, who also directed former Spanish single "Ser o Parecer". The group members wear hippie outfits in the video. On February 27th, the music video premiered on 'Ritmoson Latino', a Televisa music channel in Mexico.[1]
[edit] Chart performance
The single debuted in the Mexican Airplay Chart at number 90 in week 11. It peaked at number 23, 8 weeks later.[2] The single also debuted at number 49 in the Chilean top 100 in the week of June 3th.[3] "Celestial" also debuted at number 88 in week 23 in Peru and moved up to number 64 the next week.[4] Possibly due to all the different entries in weeks, the song does not have a high peak position on the Latin America airplay chart, being number 23.[5]
