After 98 weeks the album dropped from the top five on the Top Latin Albums chart, though it remained within the top ten for 12 additional weeks. "Amor Prohibido" holds the record for most weeks at number one on the Regional Mexican Albums chart at 97 weeks, and is the only album to reach number one in four different calendar years. "Amor Prohibido" became the ninth best-selling Latin album of 1996, and ranked as the second best-selling Latin catalog album of 1997, while in 1998 it placed third. "Billboard"s revised catalog criteria made it ineligible for the Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums chart on January 18, 1997. The album was removed from the list and began charting on the newly formed Latin Catalog Albums chart positioned at number two. Since 1997, the album has spent 13 nonconsecutive weeks at number one on the Top Latin Catalog Albums chart including three weeks in 2010. Following another revision to its Latin albums charts, "Billboard" removed its two-decade-long ban of catalog albums in its chart beginning with the February 11, 2017 list; "Amor Prohibido" re-entered the Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums chart after 20 years. Still popular today, Nielsen SoundScan reported that "Amor Prohibido" was the ninth best-selling Latin record of 2016. After its revision, "Amor Prohibido" reclaimed the number one position on the Regional Mexican Albums chart in May 2017. "Amor Prohibido" was the first album by a woman to claim the top position since Jenni Rivera's "Paloma Negra Desde Monterrey" (2016). "Amor Prohibido" became the last album by a woman to claim the top spot until Rivera's daughter Chiquis Rivera debuted atop the chart in March 2018. As of 2018, the album has spent twenty weeks atop the Top Latin Albums chart, which is the ninth most weeks an album has spent at number one. "Amor Prohibido" has spent 111 weeks within the top ten of the Top Latin Albums chart, which is the second most weeks behind American singer Romeo Santos' "Formula, Vol. 2" (2014).
