Supernatural is the eighteenth studio album by Latin rock band Santana, released on June 15, 1999, on Arista Records. After Santana found themselves without a label in the mid-1990s, founding member and guitarist Carlos Santana began talks with Arista president Clive Davis. Davis had originally signed the group to Columbia Records in 1969 when he was president of that label. Santana and Davis collaborated with A&R man Pete Ganbarg, as Santana wanted to focus on pop and radio-friendly material; Santana collaborated with contemporary guest artists including Eric Clapton, Rob Thomas, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Lauryn Hill, Dave Matthews, Maná, KC Porter and CeeLo Green.
Supernatural was a huge commercial success worldwide, generating renewed interest in Santana's music. It reached No. 1 in eleven countries, including the US for 12 non-consecutive weeks, where it is certified 15× platinum. The first of six singles from the album, "Smooth" featuring Matchbox Twenty singer Rob Thomas, and co-written by Thomas and Itaal Shur, was a number one success worldwide and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 12 weeks. The next, "Maria Maria", featuring the Product G&B, was number one in the US for 10 weeks. Supernatural has sold an estimated 30 million copies worldwide.
At the 2000 Grammy Awards, Supernatural won nine Grammy Awards, breaking the record held by Thriller for the most honored album. These included Album of the Year, making Carlos the first Hispanic to win it, and Best Rock Album. Santana won eight of these, tying Michael Jackson's record for the most awards in one night. Santana also won three Latin Grammy Awards including Record of the Year.[1]
Background[]
In 1991, Carlos Santana's record deal with Columbia Records came to an end. His two subsequent albums for Polydor/Island labels, Milagro (1992) and Sacred Fire: Live in South America (1993), failed to attract strong sales and chart positions which led Santana to end his contract because he was not getting "traction and acceleration".[2] Santana struggled to find a suitable and willing deal and recalled that some labels considered him too old.[3] His fortunes turned in 1995 when he was invited to participate in a documentary about executive and Arista Records founder Clive Davis, who first signed Santana to Columbia in 1969. With encouragement from his wife, Santana approached Davis about the possibility of signing with Arista.[2][4] The couple invited Davis to attend Santana's concert at Radio City Music Hall in July 1997 which featured a new line-up of the group.[4]
Santana and Davis held a meeting, and Santana expressed his desire to produce more concise and radio-friendly songs with strong melodies and lyrics that a wide range of people could relate to. He convinced Davis that he "wasn't stuck in the '60s; I was adaptable to these times",[5] and cited Miles Davis and John Coltrane as artists who went on to change musical directions towards pop in their later careers.[4] Davis agreed to assist on the project and signed the band to a record deal in late 1997.[4] He aimed to have the new album surpass sales figures of the band's second, Abraxas (1970), which had sold over 4 million copies in the US at the time.[5] Davis realized that the album had to be "vintage Santana" with "contemporary influences that Carlos was very much feeling" and saw the task of contacting potential artists to collaborate with him which he found particularly exciting.[5] Santana maintained that Supernatural was never meant to be a "star-studded" album at first, "but the songs really dictated different singers and different musicians".[6]
The album's title was set to be Mumbo Jumbo, but it was changed to Supernatural shortly before its release.[4] Davis threw a release party for the album at the Boathouse restaurant in New York City on June 1, 1999.[2]
Songs[]
"The Calling" features guitarist Eric Clapton, who had attended the 1999 Grammy Awards ceremony which featured Santana performing with Lauryn Hill and asked Santana to call him if there was room for him on a future Santana track.[6]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic noted that "there doesn't seem to be a track that doesn't have a guest star, which brings up the primary problem with the album [...] it never develops a consistent voice that holds the album together." He added that the album is "directionless" but concluded by saying "the peak moments of Supernatural are some of Santana's best music of the '90s, which does make it a successful comeback."[7] Rolling Stone writer David Wild also noted the number of featured artists on the album. He goes on to say "Not everything is quite so appealing", mentioning the song, "Do You Like the Way" featuring Lauryn Hill and Cee Lo Green, saying that it "seems a bit more forced."[10]
Commercial performance[]
The album is one of the best-selling albums in the world, and has sold over 30 million copies worldwide,[11] with 11.8 million copies sold in the United States alone.[12] It is the best-selling album by a Hispanic artist,[13] peaking at number one in many countries.
According to the Guinness World Records in 2005, it was the band's first album to peak at number one on the Billboard 200 since Santana III in 1971, making it the longest gap between two number one albums, 28 years in total.[13]
Arista had planned for an initial shipment of 125,000 copies, but the high level of interest in the album through word of mouth caused this to rise to 210,000. By the first week of June 1999, after the label issued a sample album to promoters, this number rose to 350,000.[5] The album debuted at number 19 on the US Billboard 200 and eventually peaked at number one in October 1999, selling 169,000 copies that week, it would increase its sales even more in the following weeks, selling 183,000 and 199,000 on its first three weeks atop. Its highest sale came in year's final week when it sold 527,000 copies. Its sales would still stay in stratosphere after the Holiday season, selling 583,000 copies after winning nine Grammy Awards in a night, it barely dropped in sales, selling again another monstrous 441,000 copies. Its last of 12 non-consecutive weeks at number one would still see huge sales, 307,000 copies that week, it later was replaced by NSYNC No Strings Attached after selling 2.4 million copies in a week. It also debuted and peaked at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.[14] However, it was removed from the chart the following week after Billboard determined that the album did not meet the linguistic requirement of having at least 50% of its tracks recorded in Spanish.[15] It was ranked on Billboard's top 200 albums of the decade as the ninth best-selling album of the 2000s.[16]
In Australia, the album debuted at number 48 and would peak at number one on March 6, 2000. In the UK, the album peaked at number one for two weeks starting on April 1, 2000.
The track "El Farol" was criticised by unauthorized use of melody. The song takes the structure of "Papel Principal", a song made by the Portuguese artist Adelaide Ferreira. Although never confirmed, rumoured judicial action by the Portuguese singer never materialised.[17]
Singles[]
Copies of the first single, "Smooth", had been leaked prior to the intended June 1 radio release date, and were picked up by some radio stations which began to air the song in late May.[5] "Smooth" featured Rob Thomas on vocals, and peaked at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 12 weeks while it went to No. 3 in the UK and No. 4 in Australia. The next single was "Maria Maria" which featured the Product G&B as the single peaked at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks, No. 6 in the UK and No. 49 in Australia. The third single, "Put Your Lights On", only peaked at No. 18 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, No. 97 in the UK, and was a minor hit in Australia at No. 32. The single "Corazón Espinado", which featured Maná, was a hit in Spanish-speaking countries.
