She was named the "top Latin artist of the '90s" and "Best selling Latin artist of the decade" by Billboard for her fourteen top-ten singles in the Top Latin Songs chart, including seven number-one hits. The singer had the most successful singles of 1994, 1995 and also was called "The Queen of Tejano music" known as the Mexican equivalent of Madonna.
