Top of the Line was a hit, reaching #1 in Puerto Rico and knocking R.K.M & Ken-Y's album, "Masterpiece", to #2 (which was a huge achievement, as R.K.M & Ken-Y were being called "The New Héctor & Tito" and their CD, Masterpiece, was also an incredible hit). However, even though Top of The Line sold incredibly well, it fell short of beating Masterpiece's record of most CDs sold in the first week of release in Puerto Rico. The album would eventually reach Latin platinum status selling over 200,000 copies.
