The singer made the transition into adulthood with the album 20 Años, which reflected his age at the time of its release.[2] "Tengo Todo Excepto a Ti" was included in the track list for his 20 Años Tour in 1990, also in a medley along "Yo Que No Vivo Sin Tí", "Culpable o No", "Más Allá de Todo", "Fría Como el Viento", "Entrégate" and "La Incondicional" during his live performances in the National Auditorium in México City. This performance was later released on his album El Concierto (1995).[4] In 2005, the song was included on the compilation album Grandes Éxitos.[5]

Chart performance

The song debuted in the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart (formerly Hot Latin Tracks) at number 33 in the week of June 2, 1990, climbing to the top ten two weeks later.[6][7] "Tengo Todo Excepto a Ti" peaked at number-one on July 21, 1990, holding this position for eight consecutive weeks,[8] replacing "El Cariño Es Como Una Flor" by Rudy La Scala and being replaced by José Feliciano with "¿Por Qué Te Tengo Que Olvidar?". "Tengo Todo Excepto a Ti" ranked second in the Billboard Year-End Chart of 1990,[9] and became Luis Miguel's longest stay at number-one and his fourth single to peak at the top, following "Ahora Te Puedes Marchar" (1987), "La Incondicional" and "Fría Como el Viento" (both 1989).[3] The single also peaked at number-one in Mexico.[10]

Music video

A video for the song was made in locations of Los Roques, Venezuela. It was directed and produced in 1990 by Henrique Lazo. The video was filmed on the beach with Luis Miguel alongside actress and former model Ruddy Rodríguez.
