Colorado art show honors Selena 30 years after her death
last week
.
Fans, including a couple in Colorado, continue to remember the "Queen of Tejano" through her music and special events hosted by the
Chicano Humanities & Art Council
.
First Friday will be celebrated on April 4 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the CHAC Gallery at 40 West. That's at 7060 W. 16th Ave. in Lakewood. Attendees can expect an art show, a Selena-inspired tattoo flash, a lookalike contest, and a performance by Aztec dancers.
On April 5, you can check out a closing celebration from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the same location that will also include a car show, a food truck, and a karaoke contest.
The Selena Quintanilla Art Show and Community Celebration: Still Dreaming of You was founded 10 years ago by Rob and Tammy Yancey.
"Selena has broken down a lot of cultural divides, and she's also brought together different generations. She's just as popular today as she was 30 years ago, so she's been kind of a unifier," said Rob Yancey.
Selena was only 23 years old when she was shot by the president of her fan club outside of a hotel on March 31, 1995.
The Grammy award winner has sold millions of albums around the world and is considered one of the top Latino artists of all time. Her life was quickly made into a 1997 movie starring Jennifer Lopez as the singer.

Billie Eilish Leaps Up The Billboard Charts
Billie Eilish is wrapping the latest leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour. In August, she only has two dates scheduled in Japan, then several weeks off before she picks back up again in the United States for another venture around the country. Excitement seems to be building among her American fans as Eilish's entire catalog of albums grows in the U.S., and she rises on almost every tally on which she appears. Hit Me Hard and Soft Lives Inside the Top 40 Of course, Hit Me Hard and Soft is her biggest project at the moment. The Grammy-nominated set is her most recent release, and the one that's still being promoted by multiple singles. Hit Me Hard and Soft appears inside the top 40 on every ranking, as it jumps from No. 48 to No. 37 on the Top Album Sales chart. The set can also be found at No. 20 on the Billboard 200, and it almost reconquers the Top Rock & Alternative Albums list as it climbs from No. 3 to the runner-up spot. Hit Me Hard and Soft is a non-mover on the Top Streaming Albums roster, where it sits at No. 18, and it is once again in charge of the Top Alternative Albums ranking. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Happier Than Ever Eilish's first two full-lengths, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Happier Than Ever, live on a trio of tallies — and the same three at that. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? appears in lower spots, but it manages to break back onto the Top Alternative Albums chart, coming in at No. 23. The studio effort that helped introduce Eilish to a massive audience almost fell off both the Billboard 200 and Top Rock & Alternative Albums rankings last week, as it sat at Nos. 199 and 50 in second-to-last and last place just a few days ago. This time around, it leaps to No. 182 on the all-encompassing ranking of the most consumed sets in the country, and it grows by five spots on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums roster. Happier Than Ever Surges Back into the Top 40 Happier Than Ever also improves its standing, and just like Hit Me Hard and Soft, it finds its way back into the top 40 on one list. On the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, Eilish's sophomore full-length leaps 10 spaces north to No. 38. Over on the Top Alternative Albums ranking, it jumps into the top 20, pushing from No. 24 to No. 18. Happier Than Ever gains quite a bit of ground on the Billboard 200, as last time around it sat only a few spaces ahead of When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? at No. 193. Now it surges almost 40 spaces to make a home at No. 153. Consumption of Billie Eilish's Music is Up – Mostly Luminate reports that both Happier Than Ever and When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? gained in terms of total consumption from one frame to the next. Happier Than Ever moved 10,000 units last week, up 12.5% from the period before. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? managed just under 9,200 equivalent units, a growth of almost 4%. While Hit Me Hard and Soft may be Eilish's top performer, it actually sees its total number of units moved decline by a little more than 3%, though it still managed 23,300 equivalent copies in the U.S. in the most recent tracking period.

Ozzy Osbourne Replaced At No. 1 By One Of The Bestselling Rock Albums Of All Time
Even if Fleetwood Mac's album Rumours disappeared from the charts forever, it would likely always be regarded as one of the bestselling and top-performing releases of all time. Thankfully, the pop-rock classic never fully fades from the Billboard rankings and, in fact, often beats out many new projects from current stars. Rumours is on the rise yet again across a variety of Billboard charts in America, and this week, the Grammy-winning set returns to the summit on multiple lists at the same time. Rumours Returns to No. 1 on Several Charts Last week, Rumours sat at No. 2 on both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts. Now it turns around, and the Fleetwood Mac blockbuster regains control over both of those rosters, which are built around general consumption and focus on only the rock side of the music industry. Only a Few Weeks at No. 1 Rumours has spent the same length of time on both tallies, as it's now up to 440 frames on each list. The set has racked up half a dozen stays at No. 1 on the Top Rock Albums ranking, and just five on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, which is slightly more competitive, as alternative titles are also included. The Essential Ozzy Osbourne Falls from No. 1 Last week, The Essential Ozzy Osbourne commanded both rock rankings, as Americans continued to rediscover Osbourne's work following his death in July. This frame, that compilation of many of his greatest solo smashes dips to third place on the Top Rock Albums ranking and to No. 5 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums list. Rumours Climbs on Almost Every Billboard Chart Rumours rises on three other Billboard charts, as it ascends to No. 8 on the Vinyl Albums list and No. 18 on both the Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales roster. The decades-old title, which is nearing its fiftieth birthday, holds at No. 19 on the Top Streaming Albums tally — the only list where it doesn't advance.

Kaytranada Returns With New Album ‘Ain't No Damn Way'
For the second summer in a row, Haitian-Canadian producer Kaytranada is getting people dancing with a new studio album. The Grammy-winning DJ has released his fourth album Ain't No Damn Way!, the follow-up to last year's Timeless. Kaytranada gave little warning for the release, announcing the LP earlier this week and dropping lead single 'Space Invader' shortly thereafter. Like with Timeless, Kaytranada plays with a wide range of sounds and rhythms on the project, from more upbeat tracks like 'Championship' and 'Don't Worry Babe / I Got U Babe' to laid-back offerings like 'Things' and 'Shine Your Light For We.' He even samples TLC's 'Let's Do It Again' on closing track 'Do It! (Again!).' In recent years, Kaytranada has fully stepped into his power, unafraid to create beats or make musical tweaks that he feel might not resonate with listeners or collaborators. 'I always used to be very shy in the studio and sometimes let the artists just do their thing because I didn't want to correct them or anything. It took me a while to understand, OK, I got to be the one that says 'Do it like this,'" he told Rolling Stone last year. "I don't have a leader mentality. I'm learning to do that now.' Now, Kaytranada is 'trying to make Grammy-winning albums.' 'I just want to be remembered as one of the greats in terms of producing, not only dance and electronic but also just production in general,' he told Billboard. Kaytranada hits the road with Justice on a co-headlining tour across North America this fall. It all kicks off Oct. 16 in Vancouver and wraps up Nov. 16 in Miami. Before then, fans can listen to the producer featured on Teyana Taylor's forthcoming album Escape Room, due out next week.
