Fantasía Pop (Pop Fantasy) is the third studio album by the Mexican electropop band Belanova. It was released in September 2007 in Mexico, Spain, the United States and the rest of Latin America. The album was recorded in Argentina.[2] The first single, "Baila Mi Corazón" premiered on July 2 on Mexican radio station Los 40 Principales.[3]

The album was certified gold by AMPROFON in Mexico only three days after its release, for selling over 50,000 copies.[4] The album entered the Mexican charts at number eighteen and went to number one in its third week.[5] "Baila Mi Corazón" ranked in the top twenty in the U.S. Latin Pop Charts. "Cada Que..." went on to sell over 200,000 downloads in the United States alone.[6] When the album was certified Platinum in March 2008 in Mexico, the band made history when it was published that digital sales of the album were five times higher than the physical sales.[7][8] The album was released in Spain in early April 2008.[9] The album won "Best Pop Album by Group or Duet" at the 2008 Latin Grammy Awards.[10]
