Dreaming of You is the fifth and final
studio album by American singer
Selena. Released posthumously on July 18, 1995, it was an immediate commercial and critical success, debuting atop the United States
Billboard 200—the first predominately Spanish-language album to do so. It sold 175,000 copies on its first day of release in the U.S.—a then-record for a female vocalist. With first week sales of 331,000 units, it became the second-largest first-week sales for a female musician.
Billboard magazine declared it a "historic" event, while
Time said the recording elevated Selena's music to a wider audience. It won Album of the Year at the
1996 Tejano Music Awards and Female Pop Album of the Year at the 2nd annual
Billboard Latin Music Awards.
