Gomez's last album,  When The Sun Goes Down, has sold 642,000 copies since its June 2011 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album -- her third billed as Selena Gomez & The Scene -- spawned her biggest airplay hit ever, "Love You Like a Love Song," which reached No. 15 on the Radio Songs chart and her first top 10 on the Pop Songs tally (No. 6).

Since that album's release, Gomez has turned her attention to acting, lending her voice to Hotel Transylvania and filming a role in the upcoming crime drama Getaway. The former Disney star also launched a self-titled fragrance last spring.
