[edit] Song Information

The track was written by Felipe Valdés Leal and was chosen as the first Spanish single to be released posthumously, after the singer's death in 1994, along with "I Could Fall In Love" for the English-spoken market. The song was very successful, debuting at number 3 on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks in the week of July 15, 1995[1] and climbing to number 1 the next week [2] were spent 10 weeks (from July 22, 1995 to September 23, 1995), and spent four additional weeks in the Top Ten. The single "I Could Fall In Love" was kept off from the top spot on the chart by this single, and with this feat, Selena became the second performer ever to have singles in the number 1 and 2 positions of the Hot Latin Tracks chart in the same week (the first being mexican singer-songwriter Ana Gabriel). To date (as of 2008) "Tú Sólo Tú" is Selena's longest stay at number 1 on the Latin charts in US.

On the Billboard Latin Regional Mexican Airplay chart the single debuted and peaked at number 1, and spents nine weeks at the summit[3].
