The album discography of American Tejano pop singer Selena consists of five studio albums, twenty compilation albums, five box sets, three live albums, one remix albums and two soundtrack albums. After Selena had signed a record deal with EMI Latin in 1989,[1] she began her solo career; though her band Selena y Los Dinos remained touring with her.[2] In the same year, she released her eponymous debut album, and it peaked at number seven on the US Latin Regional Mexican Albums chart. A year later, Selena re-recorded several songs which were recorded during the 1980s on her first compilation album 16 super exitos originales. In 1990, Selena released her second studio album, Ven conmigo, which peaked at number three on the Latin Regional Mexican Albums chart. The album became the first to be awarded with a Spanish certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) by a Tejano vocalist, receiving a gold award in 1990 for shipments of 50,000 copies.[3] Ven conmigo peaked at number three on the Latin Regional Mexican Albums chart. Because of the success of Ven conmigo, CBS Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment, was allowed to distribute Personal Best (1991), a compilation album containing a mixture of songs from two LP records Selena recorded in the 1980s.[4] After the release of Ven conmigo and Personal Best, Selena decided to postpone any developments for another album because of her extensive touring and relationship woes with Chris Pérez, a guitarist who recently joined the band.[5] Selena's father and manager Abraham Quintanilla, Jr. did not like Pérez and believed he was the antithesis of his "clean image" kids. He ordered Selena to never see Pérez and fired him from the band.[6] He told Selena that is she followed him he will disband the group. Reluctant, Selena and Pérez eloped, and her father felt ashamed of his behavior and accepted the relationship.[7]

Within a month of her elopement, Selena released Entre a mi mundo in May 1992. It went on to be certified six-times-platinum, Latin type, by the RIAA, for shipments of 600,000 copies. The album helped Selena to be accepted in Mexico, where Mexican Americans were not accepted among the citizens because they were American people of Mexican descent.[8] Entre a mi mundo sold 385,000 copies in the United States its first year,[9] which became the first recording by a female Tejano vocalist to sell that many.[10] Many music critics believed Entre a mi mundo was the "breakthrough album" for Selena.[11][12] On February 7, 1993, Selena held a free live concert at the Memorial Coliseum, which attracted 3,000 fans.[13] The concert was recorded and was released three months later as Live!. The album won "Best Mexican/American Album" at the 36th Grammy Awards, which became the first Tejano album to win a Grammy Award.[14] After her Grammy win, Selena released Mis Mejores Canciones – 17 Super Exitos, it went on to be certified 6x platinum (Latin type), which represented shipments of 600,000 copies. Selena (1994), a compilation album, failed to impact any music chart. Selena released Amor prohibido in March 1994 and debuted at number one on the Latin Regional Mexican Albums as well as the Top Latin Albums charts and peaked at number 29 on the Billboard 200. Amor prohibido sold 500,000 copies in its first year,[15] and she became the second Tejano act to sell that many records, behind La Mafia.[16][17] It eventually sold 1,500,000 copies in the US, making it the best-selling Latin album of all time.[18] Amor prohibido was certified twenty-times-platinum, Latin type, by the RIAA in 2010. Multple music critics believed Amor prohibido "opened the doors" to other Latin artsits such as Jennifer Lopez,[19] Christina Aguilera,[19] Enrique Iglesias[20] and Ricky Martin.[20]

12 super exitos was released in late 1994 and was certified gold (standard). Because of the success of Amor prohibido and of her Amor prohibido Tour, which had beat audience records raging from Tejano vocalist to country stars in America,[21][22] her recording label believed the moment was right to release a crossover album, guaranteeing Selena to the pop music world.[23][24] Selena's goal was to be a pop icon similar to Donna Summer, Paula Abdul, Madonna and Mariah Carey.[25] While recording sessions began in late 1994, Selena was beginning to tie ends with her business associate and manager of the singer' boutiques, Yolanda Saldívar.[26] Saldívar, who was embezzling from the establishments, was Selena's friend and helped start the Selena Fan Club back in 1991.[27] Quintanilla Jr., presented Saldívar with inconsistencies concerning disappearing funds during a closed meeting at Q-Productions, a recording label founded by Quintailla Jr. On the morning of March 31, 1995, while scheduled to record a song at her father's recording studio, Selena was murdered by Saldívar. The recording company, decided to posthumously release Dreaming of You the half finished crossover album, several months after Selena's murder because of the outcry by the Hispanic communities across the world.[26] Dreaming of You sold 175,000 copies its first day of release, a record for a pop singer.[28][29] The album sold more than 331,000 copies its first week, which helped Selena to become the second-fastest selling female singer, behind Janet Jackson[30][31] and Dreaming of You became the second-highest debut, behind Michael Jackson.[32][33][34][35] Dreaming of You debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, which became the first Hispanic singer to have an album mostly in Spanish to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.[36] The album sold 3,000,000 copies its first year, beating the record set by Selena with Amor prohibido and becoming "Latin's Best-Selling Album of All Time". At the time of her murder, Selena became the first and only female singer to place five albums simultaneously on the Billboard 200, the only other artists to have done this were Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Garth Brooks.[11] Las reinas del pueblo was atop the Latin music charts as well as Exitos y recuerdos (1996).

Selena's first remix album, Siempre Selena (1996) was certified double platinum (Latin type) for shipments of 200,000 copies. The Selena soundtrack was certified platinum (standard) for shipments of 1,000,000 copies. The following year, Anthology was released as was certified 6x platinum for shipments of 600,000 copies. Anthology made up most of EMI Latin's sales of 1998-99 year, the album also helped Selena to be the only female Latin singer to have the best record sales.[37] All My Hits - Todos mis exitos was released a year later and was certified 6x platinum (Latin type) and received a gold (standard) certification for shipments of 500,000 copies. The second instillation was released a year later and was certified double platinum (Latin type). Selena's second live album Live! The Last Concert was released in 2001, and was certified platinum (Latin type). Quintanilla Jr., decided to release Selena: 20 Years of Music in 2002, with it nine albums that were previously released were released with spoken liner notes, music videos and bonus tracks. Out of the nine, Ones which was part of the collection was certified 5x platinum (Latin type) and was given a gold (standard) certification. A year later, Greatest Hits was released. In 2004, Momentos intimos was released and was atop the Latin music charts. Dos historias was released in 2006 on Univision Records and was atop the Latin music charts. Through The Years/A traves de los años was released a year later and was certified gold (standard). In March 2010, Selena's family released La leyenda which is a triple box set that was atop the Latin music charts. Currently, Selena's brother and the producer of her music A.B. Quintanilla III and their father is working on a remix album that is set to be release in 2012.[38] Selena is one of the most widely known Mexican-American vocal artists[39][40] and most popular Latin artist in the United States.[40] Billboard named Selena the "Best Selling Latin Artist of the Decade" and "Top Latin Artist of the 90's".[41][42][43] As of 2010, Selena has sold over 21 million copies in the United States.[44]
