The Grammy Hall of Fame has announced its latest inductees, and among them is a celebrated work from the Queen of Tejano music herself.
Selena Quintanilla’s 1994 album “Amor Prohibido” is one of 14 recordings inducted into the 2026 Grammy Hall of Fame on Wednesday morning. According to the Recording Academy, the chosen works “exhibit qualitative or historical significance” and are at least 25 years old.
“Amor Prohibido” is Quintanilla’s fourth studio album, and over 30 years after its release, it remains one of the most influential albums in Latin music. It was nominated for Best Mexican-American Performance at the 37th Annual Grammy Awards. At the time, it reached No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 200 and ultimately earned double-platinum status. Several tracks on the album like “Amor Prohibido,” “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” “No Me Queda Más” and “Fotos Y Recuerdos” went No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart.
The induction is just one way the Recording Academy has been honoring the Grammy award-winning Mexican-American vocalist. The Grammy Museum in downtown Los Angeles is currently running an exhibit called “Selena: From Texas to The World” until March 16. The exhibit includes the iconic white beaded gown she wore to the 1994 Grammy Awards and other memorabilia.
The newly-inducted recordings — which include work from 2Pac, Heart, Radiohead and Janet Jackson — will be honored at a gala on May 8 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Performers announcements will come at a later date.
