Riot Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 1 hour ago, Squall said: So? Still a song from the BEP’s last album, I don’t care about the « + Shakira » instead of « feat. ». And when was her last top 10? The BEP have always been more popular than Shakira here and by the way, the Diamond certification doesn’t mean anything anymore since the SNEP refuses to change the thresholds. "I don't care about the + Shakira", Girl like Me is literally HER song that she wrote for HER own album Also I'm sure BEP weren't riding the wave of Latin artists like J Balvin, who just had a #1 hit in France a few months prior the release of their lead single Ritmo. And one last thing, El Dorado was certified Gold in France after 8 months, while Translation still hasn't been certified despite having "thee top 10 hits!!!"

Still promoted as a BEP single, the GP doesn’t care about that This is their first album since TB (yeah I don’t count that back to basics album), so yeah of course they struggle a bit. The fact is their career is bigger than Shakira’s here. Kinda ironic you are coming at them for this since Shakira is constantly releasing those generic Spanish songs that are super popular here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone like Karol G sang this, it wouldn't even have reached the top 200 on Spotify BEP are literally riding the Latin/reggeaton wave with those "generic Spanish songs" that artists like Shakira have made popular in Europe in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakira’s music is as easy as their and in the end, their album will outsell El Dorado despite a worse sales climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're starting to sound like those people who say that Shallow smashed because of Bradley And the "worse sales climate" is not a valid excuse since El Dorado exclusively relied on streaming only, like any other modern Spanish album. That means that the album did better than BEP's because France actually cares about Shakira (see her 4 dates in France for the El Dorado World Tour, more than any other European country other than Spain).

BIAATCH Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Shakira chorus and choreo in the video made the song popular, nobody cares about BEP Ritmo was a hit thanks to J Balvin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have made noice since we are talking about France and the BEP Also, it’s a secret for no one that the pandemic had an impact on sales and streams. Their album is almost gold in the same amount of time as El Dorado so not sure what you are talking about 1 minute ago, BIAATCH said: Shakira chorus and choreo in the video made the song popular, nobody cares about BEP Ritmo was a hit thanks to J Balvin too.

Jmo21 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I’m just going to say that Fergi was the saving grace for BEP. They are CRINGE. This song’s success is fully accredited to Shakira - without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did Feel The Beat (third single) and Vida Loca (fourth single) make ZERO noise in France if they’re, apparently, very popular and relevant in that country? GLM is literally carried by Shakira, she made the song with the catchy/annoying chorus and her viral dancing (check TikTok). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not because an artist is popular that everything they release is going to smash, see with Hallucinate EDIT: Also, I don’t remember these songs being played here? They released that 3rd song when Mamacita was being played on loop Edited February 16, 2021 by Squall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWolf Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Imaging discrediting Shakira for this song when it went viral thanks to her dancing and skating, and literally the ENTIRE lyrics are about her. Next they will come and say Shakira owns her career to Wyclef Jean and Freshlyground. Shakira's haters really are the laziest ive seen, they need to at least put some effort.
