American singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez, known simply as Selena, continues to make waves in the music industry even nearly 30 years after her passing. The late Latin superstar's album 'Amor Prohibido' has made a triumphant return by debuting at No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart.
This achievement marks Selena's second title to top the Vinyl Albums ranking, with her greatest hits compilation 'Ones' also having reached the same milestone in July 2020. 'Amor Prohibido' was recently remastered in honor of its thirtieth anniversary, leading to a surge in sales with 11,000 copies sold in the past tracking period.
Notably, Selena's success on the Vinyl Albums chart extends to the Top Album Sales chart as well, where 'Amor Prohibido' has re-entered, earning its 24th appearance on the tally. The album's popularity on vinyl, along with sales on other formats, has contributed to its strong performance on the chart.
While Selena's albums have historically held the No. 1 spot for just one week on the Vinyl Albums chart, the enduring appeal of 'Amor Prohibido' raises the possibility of an extended reign. However, in the current music landscape, most projects experience a brief stint at the top before descending in the rankings.
As fans continue to show their unwavering support for Selena's music, her legacy remains vibrant and influential in the realm of Spanish-language tunes and albums. The enduring popularity of 'Amor Prohibido' serves as a testament to the timeless quality of Selena's artistry and the enduring connection she maintains with her audience.
With each resurgence on the charts, Selena's impact on the music industry is reaffirmed, solidifying her status as a beloved icon whose music transcends generations.
