The album was certified Gold in the Latin field by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), selling over 30 thousand copies in the United States.
Four of the 16 songs on Misión Cumplida, which range from banda music to mariachi, are covers of songs and compositions: "El Que Hoy Está en Tu Lugar", "Hablando Claro", "Que Me Entierren Cantando", and "Motivos"; the first two are originally performed by Chayito Valdez, the third being originally performed by Ramón Ayala, and the latter song was originally written by Aniano Alcalde Zorzano and José Domingo Castaño Solar. Another four songs off the album are single or alternate versions of other songs on the album.
Background and recording
On December 9, 2012, Jenni Rivera and five other passengers died in a plane crash en route to the city of Toluca. Posthumous compilation and live albums have been released since then.[1] In 2016, Johnny Lopez, who is Jenni's youngest child, found handwritten lyrics to a song titled "Misión Cumplida", that were originally written by Jenni in 2008, and kept them for a long time. He also had a goal to find Jenni's old recordings that were stored in her hard drive, which ended up being found. Among the songs in the hard drive, covers of songs by Chayito Valdez, Lucha Villa, and Ramón Ayala and an unfinished recording of "Pedacito de Mí" were found.[2] The song was originally recorded when Jenni was pregnant with Johnny, and he recalled that he originally heard the song when her oldest sister, Chiquis Rivera, sang it in 2015, in an event for Jenni's birthday.[3]
Chiquis, along with her sister Jacqie Rivera, who is the acting CEO of Jenni Rivera Fashion, had recorded additional vocals for the unfinished recording.[4] All of Rivera's five children, Chiquis, Jacqie, Michael, Jenicka, and Johnny, had been working on the album.[5] Johnny said, "What my mom loved was la banda sinaloense and Sergio [Lizárraga] is a master at that" and wanted to "make sure Jenni’s songs sound like [banda] before she left [them]."[6]
