About the real Selena. Selena Quintanilla, as stated by WA, has been credited for helping redefine Latin music and its subgenres of Tejano, cumbia, and Latin pop. Selena broke barriers in the Latin music world. She is considered “one of the most significant Mexican-American singers of the end of the twentieth century”. People magazine named Selena one of the most intriguing people of the 20th century. US Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison named Selena one of “the spirited women who shaped [the United States].
Selena became one of the “most celebrated cultural products” of the United States-Mexico borderlands. [266] Selena was called the “Queen of Tejano Music”, and was described as “the most important and popular Tejano star of all time”. Her death was “the most devastating loss” in Tejano music history, according to Zach Quaintance of The Monitor. At the time of her death, Selena became one of the most widely known Mexican American vocal artists and the most popular Latin artist in the United States. She had a “cult-like” following among Hispanics,
Selena has been named one of the most influential Latin artists of all-time and has been credited for elevating a music genre into the mainstream market. Latin Post called the singer “one of the most iconic artists in Latin American music history”, while The New York Times called her “arguably the most important Latina musician in the country, on her way to becoming one of the most important, period.” ] Selena became a household name in the United States and Mexico following her death and became part of the American pop culture. She became more popular in death than when she was alive.
After her death, her popularity among the Hispanic population was compared to those of Marilyn Monroe and Madonna in Anglo-American culture. According to author Carlota Caulfield, Selena was “one of the most popular Latina singers of the 1990s”. Selena’s popularity was drawn in by the LGBT community and minority groups in the United States. The popularity of Tejano music waned after her death and has not recovered. John Lannert of Billboard said in an interview with Biography in 2007 that when Selena died the “Tejano market died with her”.
Dreaming of You, the crossover album Selena had been working on at the time of her death, was released in July 1995. It sold 175,000 copies on the day of its release in the U.S.—a then-record for a female vocalist—and sold 331,000 copies its first week. Selena became the third female artist to sell over 300,000 units in one week, after Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. It debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, becoming the first album by a Hispanic artist to do so. Dreaming of You helped Selena to become the first solo artist to debut a posthumous album at number one. Dreaming of You joined five of Selena’s studio albums on the Billboard 200 chart simultaneously, making Selena the first female artist in Billboard history to do so. The album was certified 59× platinum (Latin field), for sales of 3.54 million album-equivalent units in the U.S. alone.
As of 2017 it has sold over 2.942 million copies in the U.S. making it the best-selling Latin album of all-time in the country according to Nielsen SoundScan. As of 2015, the recording has sold five million copies worldwide. In 2008, Joey Guerra of the Houston Chronicle said its lead single, “I Could Fall in Love”, had “made the Tejano goddess a posthumous crossover star”. Her death was believed to have sparked an interest in Latin music by people who were unaware of its existence. It was also believed her death “open[ed] the doors” to other Latin musicians such as Jennifer Lopez, [295] Ricky Martin, and Shakira.
In 1995, the United States Social Security Administration ranked the name Selena one of the 100 most popular names for newborn girls, and namesake Selena Gomez acknowledged Quintanilla’s influence. In December 1999, Selena was named the “top Latin artist of the ’90s” and “Best selling Latin artist of the decade” by Billboard for her fourteen top-ten singles in the Top Latin Songs chart, including seven number-one hits. She was the best-selling Latin female singer of the 1990s in the U.S. and Mexico. Selena was named “Best Female Vocalist of the ’80s” and “Best Female Vocalist of the ’90s” at the 2010 Tejano Music Awards. [104] In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked Selena at number 89 on its list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.
