[es] Mundial (álbum)

Mundial, también llamado Daddy Yankee mundial, es el quinto álbum de estudio del cantante de reguetón boricua Daddy Yankee. Fue producido por El Cartel Records y distribuido con Sony Music Latin,[2] en 12 de los 13 temas los productores Musicólogo & Menes fueron los encargados y el ex compañero de Echo The Lab, Diesel fue quien produjo una canción del álbum. Fue lanzado al mercado el 27 de abril de 2010 y con pocas semanas en las listas de ventas, el álbum se colocó rápidamente en el primer puesto de la lista Top Latin Albums de Billboard. Es uno de los álbumes más comercializados de América, ya que Daddy Yankee postuló la canción "Grito Mundial" para que fuera la canción de la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 2010, pero la FIFA quería obtener 100% de los derechos de la canción y Daddy Yankee no aceptó esta condición, la Federación entonces decidió entre David Bisbal y Shakira, quedándose esta última con el honor, con la canción “Waka Waka”. Este álbum fue un éxito en todo Latinoamérica a excepción de Estados Unidos, ya que para esta época uno de los altos ejecutivos de Universal Music Latin Entertainment más específico en Machete Music ya no querían seguir apoyando al reguetón al ser muy caro de producir y [3] debido a estos malos pasos de la multinacional este álbum no contó con la participación de Jowell & Randy, Luis Fonsi y Don Omar.
