I think it may just beee because she hasn't been around as long as Hannah.
The first time I saw Selena was on Hannah Montana and it had been on for like a year at that point and Miley is in the press a lot more for datin Nick Jonas secretly and then there is all this talk of her becomin a ho.
little kids like 4-6 year olds all seem to love hanna and that drags other age groups into likeing her, and little kids dont like wizards of waverly place as much so...
I don't know why people compare Selena Gomez with Miley Cyrus and my answer is Selena Gomez is waaaaaaayyyyyyyy better than that girl I don't even feel saying her name not Selena's but the other stupid fag name!!!♪§elena Rocks!!!!!
