No Me Corten El Pelo (Don't Cut My Hair) is a studio album by the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, released in 1990.[1][2] 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.[3]

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.[4][5] Management quickly replaced both with Edward Aguilera and Jonathan Montenegro, forming a new lineup composed of Robert, Rawy, Adrian, Edward, and Jonathan.[6]

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.[7][8] 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.[9]

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.[10]

Commercial performance

Commercially, despite the incidents, the album was a success.[11] According to Cashbox magazine, the quintet recorded significant sales with the album, after periods of low sales in their discography.[11] In the United States, it reached the 22nd position on the Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart.[12] In Puerto Rico, it ranked 15th on the Cashbox Latin LPs chart.[13]
