A month after her elopement , Selena released her third studio album , '' Entre a Mi Mundo '' , in May 1992 . The album was critically acclaimed as her " breakthrough album " . The recording peaked at number one on the US '' Billboard '' Regional Mexican Albums chart for eight consecutive months ; it was certified 10x platinum by the RIAA for sales of 600,000 album-equivalent units , while in Mexico , the album sold 385,000 units . '' Entre a Mi Mundo '' became the first Tejano album by a female artist to sell over 300,000 copies . Selena was booked for a high-profile border press tour in Monterrey , Mexico , with music media types in a meet-and-greet conference . At the time , Tejanos were looked down on as " hayseed pochos " among Mexican citizens . The singer 's Spanish was far from fluent ; EMI Latin executives were " terrified " about the singer 's limited Spanish during the press conference for the album in Mexico . According to Patoski , Selena " played her cards right " during the conference and won over the Mexican media after newspapers hailed her as " an artist of the people " . The newspapers found her to be a refreshing change from Mexican telenovela actors " who were fair-skinned , blond-haired , and green-eyed . " After her publicity press , Selena was booked to play at several concerts throughout Mexico , including a performance at Festival Acapulco in May 1993 , which garnered her critical acclaim . Her performance in Nuevo Leon on September 17 , 1993 was attended by 70,000 people , garnering her the title of the biggest Tejano act in Mexico . The album produced four singles ; " Como la Flor " , " ¿ Qué Creías ? " , " La Carcacha " , and " Amame " . " Como la Flor " became Selena 's signature recording ; it was critically acclaimed by music critics as a career launcher for Selena . " Como la Flor " helped Selena to dominate the Latin music charts and become immensely popular in Mexico — where Mexican-Americans were generally not liked among citizens — which was well received by critics . The track was nominated for Song of the Year at the 1993 Tejano Music Awards . The single peaked at number six on the US '' Billboard '' Top Latin Songs chart . In 1994 , '' Entre a Mi Mundo '' ranked as the second best-selling regional Mexican album of all-time
