Selena Gomez and her music career
Selena Gomez started her music career with her debut studio album, Stars Dance, which was released on July 19, 2013. A platinum-certified record, the album peaked as a chart topper on the Chinese, Taiwanese, Mexican, Canadian, Norwegian, and Billboard 200 album charts, respectively.
This was followed by the release of her second studio album, Revival, which was released on October 9, 2015. The album was a greater success than her previous album, with platinum certifications in Austria, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Mexico, Singapore, and the US.
The singer released her last studio album, Rare, on January 10, 2020. The album continued the singer's chart success streak, peaking as a chart topper on the Billboard 200, Canadian, Australian, and Norwegian album charts.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with NPR, the singer elaborated on her influences and motivation for the album as well as her music going forward, stating:
"I think the only way it's helped me is that I can use that for good... I can sit down with someone who has had their heart completely broken, or a family that's broken, fighting for their right to stay in this country, or kids who are going through things they shouldn't even be worrying about at that age."
The singer continued:
"I want to live in a world where an 11-year-old is not committing suicide because of bullying on social media. That's what I think my real mission is; I think that I have such big dreams and ideas for ways that I can give back. And right now I know that this is something that will be for life."
Aside from her music career, Selena Gomez is also known for her acting career, with notable main roles in projects such as Wizards of Waverly Place, Hotel Transylvania, The Fundamentals of Caring, and Only Murders in the Building.
