Selena returns to the Latin Pop Albums chart (dated Dec. 19) with her latest soundtrack Selena: The Series, Music From The Netflix’s Original Series. It’s the late Texas-born singer-songwriter’s first entry and top 10 since 2016 following the former No. 1 greatest hits compilation Lo Mejor De… (April 2016).
As Selena: The Series Soundtrack debuts at No. 8, Selena captures her sixth top 10, dating back to the 44-week ruler Dreaming of You (it debuted at No. 1 in Aug. 1995).
Selena: The Series Soundtrack opens with 1,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Dec. 10, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, most of which stem from streaming activity. The first nine episodes of Selena: The Series premiered on Netflix on Dec. 4.
The Latin Pop Albums chart ranks the most popular Latin pop albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).
Selena:The Series soundtrack, which was released Dec. 4 via Netflix/Capitol Latin/UMLE, net 1,000 SEA which equates to 1.2 million on-demand U.S. streams for the album’s songs in its opening week.
