  • From "Pre-production"; disjointed and off-topic: "A movement in Texas which helped spread further awareness of Tejano music and it becoming a popular trend.[1] "
  • From "Production"; this seems to belong to another article, or section within this article: "Her sister Suzette Quintanilla stated that she would take a very long time before deciding if a song represented what "Selena was all about"; however, SBK Records controlled the entire project and allowed her to choose only one song.[2]

July 2015

Hispanics reacted negatively to the news of her death, which was compared to the reactions following the deaths of John Lennon, Elvis Presley, and U.S. president John F. Kennedy.[3][4] Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:05, 2 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Fifth album? Debut?

edit

In the lead the album is listed as both "the fifth and final studio album by American singer Selena. Released posthumously [...]" and "among the top ten best-selling debuts for a musician, best-selling debut by a female act [...]". I think this needs to be reconciled, as it doesn't make any sense. 99.225.139.21 (talk) 15:16, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

This album was a crossover album into English (her first supposed-to-be English album) so Billboard named it among those merits for Dreaming of You as being her debut English album. Best, jona(talk) 19:32, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Article title

edit

@Tassedethe: Why change the article's title to include Selena album if no other article of an album with the same title currently exists? – jona 19:44, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Because Dreaming of You (Juris album) exists. Tassedethe (talk) 22:47, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
You mean the same title and song that are cover versions of this album? It's unwarranted and no one would mistaken this album over her album. – jona 23:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
It's a different artist, year, country and, apart from the cover version, track listing. These are completely different albums and as such need to be disambiguated unambiguously per WP:ALBUMDAB. Tassedethe (talk) 23:56, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Post-murder influences on album, several release dates?

edit

I made an edit that removed the "posthumously" term from the release date since Selena was murdered on March 1995 and the album was stated to be released on January, despite there also being a mention of the album having a national release in the United States in July that same year. I'm also confused by the line "Recording sessions for Dreaming of You began in January 1995" and that the album was unfinished by the end of March. The lead paragraphs do not have a clear intention of what was and wasn't done during when, regardless of whether Selena was alive during the album's development. I'm asking for clarification and hopefully some things in the lead paragraphs can receive a revision. Carlinal (talk) 02:19, 28 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello. The album was actually released in July 1995 and not January 1995. An IP user [1] decided to change the dates to various albums. I have reverted their edits. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 19:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
