Armed with an unforgettable smile and voice, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez — known simply as Selena — was the Queen of Tejano Music.
Selena Wins Best Mexican-American Album
Her 1993 Live album climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart and brought the singer home the GRAMMY for Best Mexican-American Album at the 36th GRAMMY Awards, cementing her as the first-ever female Tejano artist to earn that honor.
Following the young singer's tragic passing in 1995, her final studio album, Dreaming Of You, was released posthumously. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making it the first album to be recorded predominantly in Spanish to top that chart. Billboard later crowned her the top-selling Latin artist of the decade in the 1990s.
