shakeyourbombom Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) 56 minutes ago, Dante Silva said: It’s relevant because she is less relatable to mainstream audiences in territories that don’t understand or speak Spanish and she can’t be defined as a main pop girl if she has not covered the usual market territories that go with that status but of course you know this. Your country is a primary English speaking country. It’s all about openness to music in other languages. I can’t see that in your country. But that won’t change her cementing her status as one of the biggest pop stars ever on this planet. Hips Don’t Lie, Whenever Wherever or Waka Waka are bigger than some of the pop girl’s career.

And again, Shakira is the most streamed female Pop singer from her time period, something you continue to ignore while claiming she is not that popular.

I live in a western first world country with a low Hispanic population (therefore not Japan, another international territory I am learning from this very thread where she is lacking). Her last Top. 20 solo Hit was "She Wolf" back in 2009. Her last Top. 20 Hit with a featured artist was "Can't Remember to Forget You" with Rihanna, back in 2014, (the actual 'Hot' artist whose name sold the track). Those are not statistics consistent of an International MPG Superstar. so 1 country out of 195 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakira is and will forever remain one of the biggest popstars of all time, with plenty of hits all accross the globe including several of the biggest music markets in Europe like Germany, Italy and France. No matter how much you fume in every Shakira thread this fact is, sadly, not going to change. Hope you have a nice day Edited January 18 by alestevens 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian14 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) In general she's unknown in Asia (Japan, China , Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia) Proof of this is that she has never gone on tour in those countries.

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. Where's Beyonce? If we insist on discounting DC, she still has a solo single from 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lael Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Shakira is popular outside of Latin America.
