Billboard ranks Selena's albums, celebrating her enduring legacy

Selena Quintanilla, known as the Queen of Tejano, had a significant impact on music in the 1990s. She blended Mexican roots with various genres like R&B, pop, and rock. Hits such as "Como La Flor" and "Amor Prohibido" made her a superstar. Tragically, she was murdered on March 31, 1995, at just 23 years old. Despite her passing, her music continues to inspire new artists and remains popular. Selena had an impressive record on Billboard charts, with 24 entries on Top Latin Albums and 16 in the top 10. Seven of her albums reached number one. "Amor Prohibido" spent 20 weeks at the top in 1994, while "Dreaming of You," released after her death, dominated for 40 weeks in 1995. The Quintanilla family released a new album, "Moonchild Mixes," in 2022, featuring previously unreleased music from Selena's youth. Billboard recently ranked Selena's studio albums from her debut in 1989. Her first album under EMI Latin featured a mix of styles and showed her potential. The 1995 album "Dreaming of You" combined pop and R&B, becoming the first mostly Spanish-language album to debut at the top of the Billboard 200. Her second album, "Ven Conmigo," continued her musical evolution. It included hit love songs and dance tracks. The album "Entre a Mi Mundo" solidified her sound internationally, featuring beloved songs like "Como La Flor." Selena's most famous album, "Amor Prohibido," combined Tex-Mex cumbia and pop elements. The title track became an anthem for forbidden love, and other songs showcased her range and charm. The album broke records in Spanish-language music and remains a significant part of her lasting legacy.
