In 2005, Christell embarked on international tours through Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Latin American communities in the United States. She received a gold certification for her album sales in Mexico and was considered for a telenovela by Televisa. In 2023, "Dubidubidu" went viral in the U.S. and Japan due to its association with a popular cat meme, revitalizing Christell's career.
