Selena recorded songs that were multifarious of Tejano music and Mexican music, and was well received by critics. The album debuted at number-one on Billboard's Regional Mexican Albums and Top Latin Albums chart. It went on to peak at number 29 on the Billboard 200. The album sold more than 500,000 copies in its first year, and it eventually became one of the "Best-Selling Latin Albums of All Time". The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in April 1994, platinum in May, quadruple platinum (Latin type) in April 1995, double platinum in October 2002 and 20× Disco De Platino in February 2010. Promotion of the album began with the start of Selena's worldwide tour in April 1994.
Amor Prohibido
The album received mostly positive reviews and was given high praise, for "stepping-out" of the Tejano genre and into Contemporary Latin pop music. Eventually, Amor prohibido was nominated for Best Mexican-American Performance at the 37th Grammy Awards. Selena had broke several unprecedented records in the Latin world with Amor prohibido. The album was believed to have "open the doors" to Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin. After the album had begun to sell in other parts of the United States, where Tejano was little known, Selena was considered "bigger then Tejano itself". Selena had won two awards during the 1994 Tejano Music Awards and won six prestigious awards posthumously at the 1995 Tejano Music Awards and the Lo Nuestro Awards. The album spawned four number-one singles, one posthumous, on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart, which became the only Spanish-album by a female artist to do so.
1994 Amor Prohibido
After Selena had won her first Grammy Award for her first live album, Selena Live! at the 35th Grammy Awards preparations began for developing a Spanish-language studio album. Production of the album was halted because of Selena's booming-success of her clothing line, boutiques and her extensive touring for Live!. Selena's brother, who was the producer of her music, A.B. Quintanilla III, had became the lead producer of the album. Quintanilla III, quickly assembled Pete Astudillo and Ricky Vela for ideas and inspiration in productive-writing. Chris Perez, the widower of Selena, was approached by Quintanilla III to collaborate with him on a rock song, written entirely in Spanish. Perez stated, during an interview with a family friend, Brian "Red" Moore, that he was shocked and surprised that Quintanilla III allowed him to write a rock song for the album. With not enough lyrics to complete a full-length album, Quintanilla III began writing songs directly out of the Tejano music genre and into Contemporary Latin pop music. When asked if he was trying to changed Selena's style of music, Quintanilla III replied that he didn't want to write "the same songs continuously", he also commented on the question, stating that he wanted to keep the band's image fresh and "cool" so it can be accessible to a younger audience, which helped expanded the "Tejano Music Movement". The movement, which at the time was only a movement in the state of Texas, helped further awareness of Tejano music and it becoming a popular trend. Quintanilla III, kept the album further immersed in the Latin territory, sticking to mixing of the genres such as Latin jungle and Latin soul into the songs he had wrote for the album.
