Commercial performance

Amar Es Combatir debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart, selling nearly 87,000 copies in its first week of release in the United States. This marked the highest first-week sales and chart position for a Spanish language album by a duo or group and the first Spanish language album to debut atop the rock albums tally. It is also tied with Shakira's Fijación Oral Vol. 1 (2005) as the highest debut of a Spanish language album in the history of Billboard. Both albums were surpassed in December 2020 by Puerto-Rican singer Bad Bunny with his album El Último Tour del Mundo, which debuted at number-one on the chart.

The album has produced three Billboard Hot Latin Tracks number-one singles: "Labios Compartidos", "Bendita Tu Luz" and "Manda Una Señal".
