The album's commercial success led music critics to call it the "breakthrough" recording of her musical career. Selena released Entre a Mi Mundo (1992), which peaked at number one on the US Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart for eight consecutive months. She signed with EMI Latin in 1989 and released her self-titled debut album the same year, while her brother became her principal music producer and songwriter. However, her popularity grew after she won the Tejano Music Award for Female Vocalist of the Year in 1987, which she won nine consecutive times. In the 1980s, she was often criticized and was refused bookings at venues across Texas for performing Tejano music-a male-dominated music genre. The youngest child of the Quintanilla family, she debuted on the music scene as a member of the band Selena y Los Dinos, which also included her elder siblings A.B.
She also ranks among the most influential Latin artists of all time and is credited for catapulting the Tejano genre into the mainstream market. Media outlets called her the "Tejano Madonna" for her clothing choices. In 2020, Billboard magazine put her in third place on their list of "Greatest Latino Artists of All Time", based on both Latin albums and Latin songs chart. Referred to as the " Queen of Tejano Music", her contributions to music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th century. Selena Quintanilla Pérez ( Spanish pronunciation: Ap– March 31, 1995), known mononymously as Selena, was an American Tejano singer.
