Rubio's first two studio albums, "La Chica Dorada" (1992) and "24 Kilates" (1993), were commercial successes and made her then EMI Latin's best-selling Mexican female artist. In the mid-1990s, she adopted a more mature and electronic style for her next two albums, "El Tiempo Es Oro" (1995) and Planeta Paulina (1996), and made her feature film debut with a starring role in "Bésame en la Boca" (1995). Following a series of concerts with Timbiriche and ending her contract with EMI Latin, Rubio's career was interrupted before the release of her fifth album and first with Universal Music Group, the homonym "Paulina" (2000), which is critically referred to as her best album. "Paulina" was an international success and made her the best-selling Latin music artist of the "Billboard" Year-End (2001-2002). She returned to the top of the charts again with her sixth and seventh albums, the crossover "Border Girl" (2002) and "Pau-Latina" (2004), respectively. Rubio garnered critical praise, including nominations for the Grammy Award and Latin Grammy Award. Her next albums, "Ananda" (2006) and "Gran City Pop" (2009), were also critically and commercially successful. She followed it with "Brava!" (2011), which delved into American dance-pop.
