American singer Selena released six studio albums, three live albums, three boxsets, one remix album, two soundtrack albums, and twenty compilation albums. Credited for elevating a music genre into the mainstream market, Selena remains the best-selling Tejano recording artist whose posthumous releases continue to outsell those of living musicians. Selena has sold 18 million units worldwide (12 millions according to Nielsen Soundscan), making her one of the best-selling artists in Latin music. She was named the top-selling Latin artist of the 1990s decade by Billboard magazine.
