Now, with Stars Dance, Selena Gomez has finally reached the No. 1 spot.

Gomez said: “This is my fourth record and I work really hard on my music, so to have the first No. 1 is really humbling. I feel like ‘Come & Get It’ was a great surprise. People didn’t expect that kind of feel from me in that different genre of music. I really opened myself up to try different sounds with my music.”
