Selena’s ‘Amor Prohibido’ lives on in chart-topping success
LA TimesA new charting record reaffirms Selena Quintanilla ’s staying power. Three decades after the release of Selena’s chart-topping “Amor Prohibido” album, Universal Music Latino has released a remastered 2024 edition on vinyl, which topped the Billboard charts at No. This is Selena’s second vinyl release since 2020, following “Ones,” a compilation album of her hits, which also peaked at No. “Amor Prohibido” LP made history in its initial release on March 22, 1994, when it became the first Tejano music album to peak at No. Her greatest hits include “Amor Prohibido,” “Fotos y Recuerdos,” “El Chico del Apartamento 512,” “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” and “Si Una Vez.” Suzette Quintanilla, Selena’s sister, called the news “unimaginable” and “mind blowing” in an Instagram post.
