MAGIA Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, FantasyRide said: it's a Spanish album that's top 10 on iTunes in 50 countries with a Spanish lead single that hit 1 billion views in less than 6 months 1B views on youtube, not everyone has that. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempo Posted May 27, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EriKills Posted May 27, 2017 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Oh...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
