"COMO LA FLOR": Selena's hit song makes Rolling Stone's '50 greatest' list

Thursday, July 12, 2018
With the recent success of Latin music across the country, including Cardi B's record-breaking sales, Rolling Stone has compiled a list of the "50 Greatest Latin Pop Songs."

Rolling Stone says the list serves as a history lesson. But as we all know, what would a list be without Tejano superstar Selena?

Selena's "Como La Flor" established her family's music "as a worthy contender in the male-dominated Tejano market," the magazine said.

Last year, the Queen of Tejano -- who was fatally shot on March 31, 1995 -- was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Her influence is still being felt across the music world.
