On the 20th anniversary of Selena’s death, many people ask why everyone still remembers her 20 years later. In the music industry she broke a lot of barriers for the Hispanic community. Her Dreaming of You album debuted number 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, making her the first Latino singer to accomplish this. She is also the only female artist to have 5 albums in the U.S. Billboard 200 at the same time.
Even though Selena only walked this earth for 23 years, she left a big footprint. Opened the door for other artists and entertainers and her millions of fans looked up to her then and continue to listen to her music 2 decades later. I’d say she’s an inspiration and the definition of hard-work and perseverance.
