Added DiffLines:

* FamilyVersusCareer: This trope is the reason why Maribel rejects Diego's marriage proposal on the first episode, which comes right after Guillermo has given her an active role in Futura and she no longer is just a secretary, as she doesn't want to lose the biggest career opportunity she's ever been given to marry and have children.[[note]]This is TruthInTelevision: at the time, Francoist Spain customs still meant marriage was effectively the end of a woman's professional career, whatever her job was, as it was considered a married woman's job to raise the family.[[/note]]

* GratuitousItalian: Guillermo advises Robert to sing in Italian for his Guild audition, because the jury usually loves it. Problem is, Robert doesn't know a word of Italian, but still auditions with "O Sole Mio".

This was the first show on which Atresmedia enforced its reduced runtime policy, which cut episode lengths from Spain's standard 70 minutes to 50. Unfortunately, it didn't quite turn out as the channel expected, and ''45 RPM'' holds the dubious honor of being the lowest-rated series in Antena 3's 30-year history.

Your Cheating Heart is an index, not a trope.


* YourCheatingHeart:
** Maribel's father is known to be cheating on his wife (Maribel's mother) with a female coworker, and it's implied that she's cheating on him too.
** Guillermo and his ex-girlfriend Ángeles, who is now Zabala's wife, share a kiss on Episode 12... and a few shots of them half-naked in the finale imply they have slept together.

Added DiffLines:

* RecordProducer: Salvador Quintana, the producer hired by Zabala to oversee Robert's album, falls into the Acrimonious category, as he fails to connect artistically with Robert and keeps demanding he slow down the tempo of every song, but doesn't overtly bully him. Eventually the Futura team has enough of Quintana and Guillermo locks him out of the studio while Maribel takes over production duties. Maribel counts as an Invisible producer as she decides that the best course of action is just letting Robert do his thing (not to mention that Quintana still gets the credit).

** Zabala seems to exist for the sole purpose of blocking Guillermo every step of the way. He opposes the creation of Futura Records, and it's heavily implied that he spoke to the director of radio show ''Escaparate de éxitos'' to demand Robert's performance be canceled.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Episode 12 has Robert and Fanny compete in the televised national final to represent Spain in the 1963 Series/EurovisionSongContest. While they did get the actual Spanish entrant right (José Guardiola), TVE did not hold a televised national final that year; Guardiola was instead selected internally.
