I.T. Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Luis Alfonso be lucky to even sell a fraction of what she's selling despite having a number one song

La Bicicleta will undoubtedly cross 1B soon enough. 1 hour ago, The Unforgiving said: And her album went #1 in multiple countries (it's currently #1 WW according to Kworb), and her lead is doing amazingly. I'd say she's doing just fine. But she is local? Edited May 27, 2017 by MAGIA

Tempo Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 lol at the beyhive.... shak album is in spanish and she did not promote it at all, there was no way she would make huge numbers in USA she might do well worldwide tho
EriKills Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Lol @ that uglee Beyonce stan. The album being in Spanish significantly decreases its sales, as it pretty much takes away the English speaking market (Spanish speaking places buy English albums but not vice versa)

OT: Shakira will hit 2M album equivalents by the end of next month She's crushing it.
Destiny Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Oh... I seem to hit multiple nerves huh Nobody said Enrique or whoever was a global legend who slayed at everything so I wouldn't be surprised at their numbers. Legendary Shakira Shakira on the other hand...

And then she comes with really awful numbers The same exact thing happened in 2014 with SHAKIRA Perched for the Mediatraffic thread

I thought everyone made themselves clear that my fave was a local US act... so why would you expect any major numbers singing a language she doesn't really know... But the legendary global Shakira is shockingly flopping. Why?

Just look at Despacito But it's easier to be receptive to one Spanish song than to an album full of Spanish songs, though.

But the legendary global Shakira is shockingly flopping. Why? The BB200 is the local U.S. chart and your fave, a legend in the U.S., couldn't break the top 100. Now Shakira is set to possibly go top 20. How is this not successful for a Spanish language album? OT: They need to add YouTube to the Billboard 200 already. It makes no sense to exclude the biggest streaming service.

Just look at Despacito once every 20 years with the help of the biggest male pop artist. : Shakira is past her prime. even at her prime. Fijacion Oral vol. 1 in 2005 with debut with 157k Its one of the best selling Spanish albums in the US. You guys look stupid for trying to drag her numbers. A Latin platinum album is the US is selling 60k now.
fridayteenage Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 looks like the most 50k selling weeks this year would be: 3 Ed & Kendrick 2 Metallica, Chris Stapleton, & Guardians soundtrack

Shunga Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Good numbers for Bryson. I need to listen to it, is it good?

Who is talking about an English album? We've seen what she could do with English albums when she has hits and support from Pop radio (Laundry Service,Oral Fixation Vol. 2) and we have seen what she does with out that (She Wolf, and Shakira.). So her numbers should not be a shock to anyone but trolls.
