As a die-hard fan of Selena Quintanilla, this news about her remastered “Amor Prohibido” album topping the Billboard charts once again is absolutely mind-blowing! I still remember the first time I heard her music three decades ago – it transported me to another world with its infectious rhythms and powerful vocals. Selena’s influence on Latin music, especially Tejano music, cannot be overstated.
A new charting record reaffirms Selena Quintanilla’s staying power.
Thirty years after the initial release of Selena’s hit “Amor Prohibido” album, Universal Music Latino has produced a restored 2024 version in vinyl format. This remastered edition claimed the top spot on Billboard’s vinyl album chart upon its release.
The LP became available on CD and cassette as well, reaching the fifth spot in the Top Latin albums and the fourth position in the Regional Mexican albums chart. Additionally, it returned to the list of top-selling albums with over 11,000 units sold in total.
Since 2020, Selena has put out two vinyl records. The first one was “Ones,” an album filled with her top hits that reached the number one spot on the Billboard vinyl albums chart as well.
The “Amor Prohibido” LP by this artist created a milestone upon its debut on March 22, 1994, marking the first Tejano music album to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart. This achievement was maintained for an impressive 20 weeks in a row. Some of its most popular tracks are “Amor Prohibido,” “Fotos y Recuerdos,” “El Chico del Apartamento 512,” “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” and “Si Una Vez.”
In an Instagram post, Suzette Quintanilla, Selena’s sibling, expressed the news as “hard-to-believe” and “stunning.”
She expressed her heartfelt gratitude to every one of you for still enjoying our music and showing such profound affection and admiration towards Selena, whom we fondly refer to as the Queen.
As a huge fan of Selena, I can’t help but be deeply moved by her remarkable musical journey. When she released “Amor Prohibido” in 1994, she was already making waves in the music industry with her Grammy-winning talent. Little did we know that it would be her last album before her tragic death in March 1995.
