VioletsandRoses Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 All her peers Beyoncé, Destinys Child, P!nk, Britney,JLo and Xtina have gold and platinum singles or albums. Some even with multi-platinum. Even pop girls who are weaker in Asia like Rihanna and Katy Perry managed to get a few certs. I was shocked to see Hips Don’t Lie, Waka Waka, and Laudnry Service not even certified gold. Is her globalness overrated? Japan is the second biggest market after all. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because it was just very uncommon for something like this in J-Pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vuelve88 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) She doesn’t create songs that appeal to the Japanese market. She’s still the highest streamed pre-2000s female artist. It’s also relevant to note that the OP is a JLo stan, if anybody is wondering why the random interest in a thread attempting to drag Shakira.

Saint James Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 well, it's not like she didn't chart or sell there. she has. maybe the certs need to be updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatiRod Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I would be shocked if "Waka Waka" wasn't big in Japan, since they're big on football (or soccer if you're American/Canadian). That song was spammed non stop the entire summer of 2010 in every country aside from US/CAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 She didn't need Japan to have two songs in the top 10 of the most streamed songs in 2023 so it's all right She's bigger than her peers in other markets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Silva Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Was she big anywhere out with her home market and the U.S. after “Laundry Service”? In the U.K. that was her only era where she felt like a (then) upcoming MPG. After that era she disappeared for what felt like forever (four years) and when she came back with her next English language album it made no logical sense as that album was sub-titled “Vol. 2”. I was surprised that she later featured on “Beautiful Liar” with Beyoncé as she didn’t feel anywhere close to being in the same league. I just researched online that she had Non-English speaking language albums that perhaps better maintained her profile in other markets but we never got those. The other time she had any real media profile was with the single “She Wolf”, now over a decade ago. I do vaguely remember a song called “Don’t Bother” that got some rotation but not enough to spark a lot of interest in its parent album. Then no significant music rotation, she only came back in the news years later with a story about her having a husband who cheated on her in his Mother’s house then something about taxes.

Sony Music confirmed Laundry Service reached gold in Japan during her Tour of the Mongoose press conference. She promoted the album in Japan. Ayumi Hamasaki and Naomi Amuro went to her concert in Tokyo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hips Don’t Lie - 3x Platinum (1.8M) Waka Waka - 2x Platinum (1.2M) some of her MPG peers didn’t even get a 3x Platinum.
