20 Años () is the seventh studio album recorded by Mexican singer Luis Miguel, It was released by WEA Latina on May 18, 1990. The album was produced by Spanish singer-songwriter, composer and record producer Juan Carlos Calderón, who had worked on the two previous albums by Luis Miguel, and was a massive success across Latin-America, Spain, and with Hispanic listeners in the United States. A large majority of the tracks from the album received radio airplay, but the songs officially issued as singles were "Tengo Todo Excepto A Tí", "Entrégate", "Amante del amor", "Hoy el aire huele a ti", "Más allá de todo" and "Será que no me amas".

In 1991, it received a nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance at the 33rd Grammy Awards, becoming Luis Miguel's third Grammy nomination. At the 3rd Lo Nuestro Awards, the album was nominated for Pop Album of the Year.

This album was the album that confirmed the success that Luis Miguel had reached with his last album Busca Una Mujer. In Mexico, it broke the record for the most copies sold in a single weekend (600,000 units).

"Será que no me amas" had an "official choreography" that remains popular in Latin America to date. The album's second song, Oro de ley has become known among fans of professional wrestling for being the entrance theme of Japanese joshi wrestler Akira Hokuto.
