Tejano Music Award for Single of the Year
# Tejano Music Award for Single of the Year

The Tejano Music Award for Single of the Year was an honor presented annually at the Tejano Music Awards from 1981 to 1995. The category was retired, while eligible entries were nominated for the Tejano Music Award for Song of the Year and the genre-specific categories Tejano Crossover, Mexican Regional Song, and Tejano Country Song of the Year. The only English-language recording to have won the award (and to be nominated) was "Oh Girl" by La Mafia in 1983, which was included on Honey, which also won Album of the Year. The most awarded artist is Mazz, who holds four wins, while Luis Silva remains the most awarded songwriter.
