In 1993, Selena released "Live", which contained three studio tracks. "Live" won Selena a Grammy and peaked at number two on the newly formed U.S. "Billboard" Top Latin Albums chart and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of 500,000 copies. Selena released "Amor Prohibido" in March 1994; it was certified double Diamond by the RIAA, denoting shipments of two million copies in the United States. Additionally, the album spawned four consecutive US Latin number-one singles. By December 1994, "Amor Prohibido" became the second Tejano recording to achieve year-end sales of 500,000 copies. It was considered her "biggest album" and was credited with popularizing Tejano music among a younger and wider audience than any time in the genre's history. With "Amor Prohibido", Selena was considered "bigger than Tejano itself", and broke barriers in the Latin music world. This prompted EMI to begin marketing Selena as an American pop artist, believing she had reached her peak in the Latin music market. The singer recorded four tracks slated for what would have been her English-language crossover album by March 1995. On March 31, 1995 Selena was shot dead by Yolanda Saldívar, her friend and a former employee of her Selena Etc. boutiques over disputed embezzlement claims.
