Con Amor - Tus Éxitos Favoritos is a compilation album by the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo,[1] released in 1984.[2] The tracklist brings together many of the hits that contributed to the quintet's popularity at the time, performed by both past and current members.[3] In total, it features twelve songs that previously appeared on six of the group's albums released between 1979 and 1984, namely: Chiquitita (1979), Fuego (1981), Quiero ser (1981), Una Aventura Llamada Menudo (1982), Por amor (1982), and Reaching Out (1984).[4]
All songs were produced by Menudo's creator, Edgardo Díaz, except for "Like a Cannonball," the theme song for the movie Cannonball Run II, which was produced by Díaz alongside Snuff Garrett and Mary Lynne Pagán.[5] Regarding the album's artwork, the LP includes a colorful poster featuring photos of the group's 13 members since its formation in 1977.[5]
According to the vice president of RCA International, Mario de la Higuera, "Menudo's global fanbase had been eagerly awaiting a definitive compilation of their hits. We are pleased with the sales prospects in the group's traditional markets. However, we also aim, with this luxurious combination of a record and poster, to expand the group's popularity into new territories."[5]
