No Me Corten El Pelo is a studio album by the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, released in 1990. The lineup for the quintet included Sergio Gonzalez, Rubén Gómez, Robert Avellanet, Rawy Torres, and new member Adrián Olivares, after César Abreu left the group.
Promotion
Events surrounding the album's release and promotion marked a significant crisis in Menudo's history. In November 1990, Gonzalez and Gómez were detained at Miami Airport for marijuana possession and were expelled from the group a few days before the album's release on December 1. Management quickly replaced both with Edward Aguilera and Jonathan Montenegro, forming a new lineup composed of Robert, Rawy, Adrian, Edward, and Jonathan.
Months later, on April 6, 1991, another crisis unfolded: Avellanet, Torres, Aguilera, and Montenegro announced their departure from the group due to physical, psychological, and emotional abuse. Although Edgardo Díaz, Menudo's manager, denied the allegations, management decided to replace them with new members: Alexis Grullón, Abel Talamántez, Andy Blázquez, and Ashley Ruiz, in an attempt to stabilize the group.
Critica reception
Regarding reviews from music critics, AllMusic rated it three out of five stars, although no accompanying text was provided to justify the rating.
Commercial performance
Commercially, despite the incidents, the album was a success. According to Cashbox magazine, the quintet recorded significant sales with the album, after periods of low sales in their discography. In the United States, it reached the 22nd position on the Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart. In Puerto Rico, it ranked 15th on the Cashbox Latin LPs chart.
