After featuring on " Donde Quiera Que Estés " , Selena went on a mini-tour with the Barrio Boyzz that enabled her to visit New York City , Argentina , Puerto Rico , the Dominican Republic , and Central America , where she was not well known . In September 1994 , Selena sold out the 10,000 seats D.C. Armory in Washington , DC , with mostly Central Americans in attendance . Daniel Bueno , who organized the event , told '' The Washington Post '' that Central Americans loathe Tejano music and thought that the addition of reggae and tropical music into her repertoire had helped her appeal to Central Americans . Nelly Carrion , a journalist for the '' Washington Hispanic '' , expressed how the audience resonated emotionally towards Selena 's performance and stressed how people were desperate to touch Selena , forcing her act to be suspended . Selena made several appearances on television and in live shows to promote '' Amor Prohibido '' . Most notably , her performance at the Houston Astrodome on February 26 , 1995 , has been called one of her best . The event was critically praised for breaking attendance records set by country music musicians Vince Gill , Reba McEntire , and George Strait .

Her performance on a November 1994 episode of '' Sabado Gigante '' was ranked among the most memorable moments in the show 's 53-year history . Selena performed " Bidi Bidi Bom Bom " , " No Me Queda Más " , " El Chico del Apartamento 512 " , and " Si Una Vez " on the '' Johnny Canales Show '' , which was later released as part of the host 's " favorite songs " on DVD . Selena 's performance of " Bidi Bidi Bom Bom " on July 31 , 1994 , at Six Flags AstroWorld was the subject of a video released by the '' Houston Chronicle '' for their segment " On This Forgotten Day " . Ramiro Burr , of '' Billboard '' , called the singer 's tour for her album a " tour de force " . The concerts established Selena as one of Latin music 's most successful contemporary acts . Tracks released from the album continued the singer 's streak of US number one singles . The title track , " Amor Prohibido " , was the album 's lead single released on April 13 , 1994 . The song peaked at number one on the '' Billboard '' Hot Latin Songs chart the week ending June 11 – her first number one as a solo artist – and remained atop the chart for nine consecutive weeks becoming the most successful US Latin single of 1994 . " Amor Prohibido " was certified 7 & times ; platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) denoting sales of 420,000 digital units .
