Congrats to Selena Gomez & the Scene for going platnium in Chile that’s amazing! I hope A Year Without Rain will become platnium in the United States as well!
“A Year Without Rain,” her latest production, has been incredibly successful on all platforms and has positioned her as the young female soloist of the moment.
In this way, and thanks to her great talent and hits like “Round
& Round” and “A Year Without Rain”, Selena Gomez was awarded the status of
DIGITAL PLATINUM, for more than 50.000 fulltracks sold in our country.
Billboard has just released an official statement of the Week's top 200 Albums and AYWR has actually ended up on #4 which is so impressive and amazing. It sold a little over 66,000.
Opening at No. 4 this week is Selena Gomez & the Scene's "A Year Without Rain," starting with a little over 66,000. That barely beats out the act's previous best sales week, when its debut set "Kiss and Tell" opened at No. 9 last year with just under 66,000.News Source

Selena's Sophomore album "A Year Without Rain" is officially out in all stores across the country. The deluxe edition is available at Target and it comes with a bonus DVD and a few bonus tracks. Be sure to go out and buy the album and also buy it on iTunes on this link. In my opinion, I think this album is a huge improvement from the previous one. Not that I didn't like Kiss and Tell, I love each and every song on it. But this one definitely sounds more mature. Its so fun to listen to! And I guess that's the point of the making music for Selena. I'm so excited for the album to finally come out. Now I'm just hoping it gets a decent debut on Billbaord's Top 200 Albums. I really hope it makes to number one. But I'd be happy with any spot on the top 10.
Selena Gomez & the Scene: The act, led by Disney Channel star Gomez, starts with 69,000 downloads with "A Year Without Rain," the title track from its latest set, due Sept. 21. The song is the third straight entry from the group to debut in the top 40 this year. While it's normally difficult for Disney-based acts to improve upon a high digital-fueled debut chart rank, Gomez & the Scene did better with a No. 39 debut for "Naturally" earlier this year to an eventual No. 29 peak thank to success at top 40 radio. The song reached No. 12 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart.

What do you do after striking gold with your first solo album, wrapping your third season starring in a hit series and earning raves for your movie debut? If you're Selena Gomez, you dance. At least, you get the world on its feet with "A YearWithout Rain." A follow-up to "Kiss & Tell," Selena’s gold-certified Hollywood Records debut CD, "A Year Without Rain" shows Selena and her band, The Scene, in a whole new light, this one pulsating, multicolored and ready for the mirrored ball."I really wanted something that felt good to perform, but had a techno/dance vibe," Selena says.
"I wanted something that had meaning and melody, and more empowering lyrics."That’s exactly what she delivers in "A Year Without Rain." Working with top producer/songwriters like Tim James & Antonina Armato, Kevin Rudolf, Toby Gad and Jonas Jeberg, Selena kept to a more quickened tempo, exploring themes of love, freedom and the joy of living for the moment.
Selena credits the album’s neo-techno leanings to her 2010 platinum-certified single, ‘Naturally," which pointed the way for her. That track "really helped me figure out where I want to be," she says. "There’s a feeling when I perform that song that I love, so when I was going back in the studio, I had a better understanding of where I wanted to be musically.
"She gets right to it with the opening track, "Round & Round," an upbeat synth-driven song about reaching the limits of indecision in love. The plaintive "A Year Without Rain" may be more subdued, but its beauty impressed Selena enough to make it the title track. "When I got the song, I went through the roof," she recalls. "Everybody has that one person they can’t live without. It was exactly what I wanted to say." That goes double for the Spanish version of the song, Selena’s first recording in that language.
