The track peaked at number one on the U.S. Hot Latin Songs chart in 1991, the singer's first number one song. Subsequent singles, "[[Baila Esta Cumbia]]" and "[[Como la Flor]]", became popular songs on Mexican radio,{{sfn|Castrellón|2007|p=84}} with "Como la Flor" launching the singer's career in that country.<ref name="mario">{{cite news|last=Tarradell|first=Mario|title=Selena's Power: Culture Fusion|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=DM&p_theme=dm&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0ED3D8F8378AECD7&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM|accessdate=November 18, 2011|newspaper=[[The Dallas Morning News]]|date=March 16, 1997}}</ref>{{sfn|Malone|2003|p=158}} "Como la Flor" peaked at number six on the Hot Latin Songs chart, despite [[popular culture]] claims that it was the singer's first number one single.{{sfn|Pérez|2009|p=120}}{{sfn|García|2002|p=164}} The track has charted on the U.S. [[Billboard charts#Latin|Regional Mexican Digital Songs]] list since its inception in 2010 and remains the singer's [[signature song|signature number]] and most popular recording.{{sfn|Clark|2013|p=120}} |
Selena's live recording entitled ''[[Selena Live!|Live]]'' (1993) contained three studio tracks and produced two, top five U.S. singles "[[No Debes Jugar]]" and "[[La Llamada]]". After her collaboration with the [[Barrio Boyzz]] on the single "[[Donde Quiera Que Estés]]" peaked at number one on the Hot Latin Songs chart, Selena released her fourth [[studio album]] ''[[Amor Prohibido]]'' (1994). The album continued the singer's streak of US number one singles with "[[Amor Prohibido (song)|Amor Prohibido]]", "[[Bidi Bidi Bom Bom]]", "[[No Me Queda Más]]", and [[The Pretenders]]' cover "[[Fotos y Recuerdos]]".
