Her debut album, La Chica Dorada (1992) was released under EMI Music, followed by 24 Kilates (1993). Her follow-up albums, El tiempo es oro (1995) and Planeta Paulina (1996) helped Rubio be more known in Latin America. Rubio's departure from EMI Music happened in the same year.
With her new label, Universal Music, she released her sixth studio album Paulina (2000) and her crossover album Border Girl (2002), both had commercial success in Latin America and Europe; the first of these won nominations and awards. According to Billboard, Paulina was the most sold Latin album in the United States in 2001, and won Diamond certification for its sales of 2.5 million of copies worldwide.[4] Paulina has sold over 7 million of copies.[5] Her follow-up albums, Pau-Latina (2004) and Ananda (2006) consolidated Rubio internacionally.

Entertainment, the singer reached number twelve on the 25 Sexiest Pop Divas.[9]
From the age of 5, Paulina Rubio was taking singing, acting, jazz, painting, and dance lessons while enrolled at what is now the Centro de Educación Artística (CEA) in Mexico. After two years there, Rubio's parents were contacted by Julisa and Guillermo del Bosque for approval of Rubio's joining a band that would be formed by children from the center.
On April 30, 1982, she began her singing career when she was ten years old under the guidance of Miguel Bosé, debuting in the popular children's pop group Timbiriche. The original band had seven members: Alix Bauer, Benny Ibarra, Diego Schoening, Mariana Garza, Paulina Rubio, Sasha Sökol, and Erick Rubin (who joined a year later). Other members, who joined later, of the band were Thalía and Edith Márquez. Rubio recorded 11 albums as part of Timbiriche. In 1985, Timbiriche participated in the musical Vaselina (Spanish adaptation of the American musical Grease). While in Timbiriche, Rubio turned to acting in telenovelas with Televisa. She landed her first role in 1988 as the villain Paulina Montenegro in Pasión y Poder (Passion and Power). In 1992 she starred in Baila Conmigo (Dance With Me), one of the biggest telenovelas of that year, as Andrea. Two soundtracks, Baila Conmigo and Recuerdos de Baila Conmigo, were released. Members of the soap opera performed on Siempre en Domingo (Always on Sunday), among other TV programs.
In 1991, Rubio left Timbiriche to focus on a solo career. She moved to Spain to begin work on her first album as a solo artist. In 1992, she released her debut album, La Chica Dorada under the EMI label; La Chica Dorada became her trademark nickname. La Chica Dorada was certified Diamond in 1997, and she was presented with an award during her promotion of Planeta Paulina on Verónica Castro's defunct music show, La Tocada. The first single, "Mío", is Rubio's signature song[citation needed] and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks while reaching #2 in Mexico. Amor de Mujer, Sabor a Miel, and Abriendo las Puertas al Amor were released as the following singles reaching #22, #8, and #9 respectively on the Hot Latin Tracks. Sabor a miel peaked at #2 while Abriendo las puertas al amor peaked at #3 on the Mexican charts.
In 1993, she released her sophomore effort, 24 Kilates, which sold 150,000 copies in two weeks of its release. The album peaked at #1 in Mexico. "Nieva, Nieva" was released as the first single which reached #27 on the Hot Latin Tracks and became Paulina's first #1 single in Mexico. "El Me Engañó" and "Asunto de Dos" were released in Mexico which peaked at #1 and #5 respectively.
In 1995, El Tiempo Es Oro was released. It includes the hits "Te Daría Mi Vida" and "Nada de Ti" which peaked at #1 in Mexico while "Hoy Te Deje De Amar" peaked at #9. The theme song and title to the 1994 Mexican film Bésame En La Boca, was included on the album, in which she also starred as the lead role.
In 1996, she released her last album under the EMI Latin label, Planeta Paulina, which included the hit single "Enamorada" which peaked at #2 in Mexico. "Pobre Niña Rica" was featured as the theme song of the 1995 telenovela in which she also starred as Alma, Pobre Niña Rica. Rubio also recorded English versions of several songs which did not appear on the album. Some of these songs were released years later on a hits compilation. The first single off the album "Simpre Tuya Desde La Raiz" peaked at #1 in Mexico while Solo Por Ti peaked at #7.
EMI declined to release Paulina's first English crossover album, which was supposed to be the English version of Planeta Paulina album, because of that, Rubio got in a legal battle against EMI for not fulfilling the plans they had already planned. She had to pay them money so they can let her leave the record company.
After Planeta Paulina, Rubio took the longest break of her career. She left the music scene and moved to Spain where she dealt in a little bit of everything. Except for her participation in 1998's successful Reencuentro Tour with Timbiriche, Rubio was absent from the music scene for nearly four long years.

Paulina said that the reason she wanted to do a Spanglish album is that she wanted to mix the language of her home Mexico and the United States; "I grew up in Mexico, but I've always been between the United States and my country. This is all done with a wink and a nod to 'Spanglish' culture, which continues to grow and has a foot in both worlds", the singer said.[24] She stated on a radio interview that this album would be different from all her other albums because being a mother and the death of her father have inspired her a tremendously.

[edit] Spanish Cosmopolitan cover controversy
In October 2007, Rubio was in a government probe about whether or not she had desecrated Mexico's flag. The Spanish edition of Cosmopolitan featured her apparently naked underneath a red, white, and green sheet. The Mexican government said she may have violated an article in the National Flag, Shield and Anthem Law, which states that "private individuals will give the appropriate respect to the national symbol and handle it with care." The offense can be punished by fines ranging from $45,000 to $50,000 MXN (Mexican pesos) and jail time of up to 36 hours.[47] However, in a published report, her mother, Susana Dosamantes, said that the artist did not authorize such photos.
