By the Numbers
Arcángel is the sole credited writer on 11 of the 21 tracks. The exceptions point back at where the record came from: both versions of Ahí Eh are credited to Leo Vazquez and Gocho with no Arcángel line at all, Chica Virtual is shared with DJ Nelson because it arrived from a compilation, and the guest cuts split writing with Don Omar, Tempo and J King. Production runs the other way. Luny Tunes and Tainy hold the front half, but sixteen different production credits are spread across the album, which is why it slides between reggaeton, R&B and straight rap instead of settling on one sound. The mixing is the steadiest thread, with Hyde "El Verdadero Quimico" on most of the record and Thom Russo brought in for the two versions of Por Amar a Ciegas.
Arcángel released El Fenómeno on December 9, 2008, after his planned album La Maravilla leaked and never reached stores. Six tracks carried over from that shelved record, and the set closes with Chica Virtual, the song that had already broken him on a DJ Nelson compilation. Luny Tunes, Tainy and Noriega handle most of the production, with Don Omar, Tempo and J King turning up as guests. It reached 14 on Top Latin Albums and 3 on Latin Rhythm Albums.
