    Selena was the highest selling Latin artist in the 90s, was touted as “The Latin Madonna”, and landed 14 top ten singles on the Billboard charts, including 7 number ones. Selena Quintanilla Perez was one of the best female Tejano singers. Her voice blended well with trendy Mexican pop music and with traditional mariachi songs (as well as American pop). Though Selena is no longer alive to make new recordings, her existing music is excellent and very interesting!
      At the 1987 Tejano music Awards Selena won Best Female Vocalist, an award she would dominate for the rest of her life.The next album, Selena Live! won Best Mexican-American Album at the 36th Grammy Awards.. Billboard's Premio Lo Nuestro awarded them six awards, including Best Latin Artist and Song of the Year for "Como La Flor". Meanwhile, her duet with the Barrio Boyzz, "Donde Quiera Que Estés", reached number one in the Billboard Latin Charts. As these and many more, Selena was a major hit!!
