Is it time to stop the Shakira & Beyoncé comparisons?

For years the narrative has been that Shakira is Bey's only 90s/00s pop girl peer who stayed beside her in longevity, with most even saying Shakira is wayyy more relevant than Bey globally.

 

Well, the numbers are in for each artist's latest album and the results tell a different story… Is it time to stop the comparison?

 

Discuss.

If you have to exclude the biggest music market in the world for one and not the other to make the comparison make sense then there's not a comparison to be made. :butterfly::spring:

I think they were compared more in the 2010s. Bey appears to have outlasted currently

Even if you multiply Shakira's 13M debut by three it doesn't surpass that of Renaissance, and Cowboy Carter is likely to be even bigger :rip:

With the way Shakira fans talked about her you'd think she was Taylor Swift. Hopefully this humbles them quickly.

Yes because local feature act Shakira has never been a global superstar period.

It's almost like she added (stole) year year old features on other people's songs :deadbanana: The debut and subsequent daily streams show her OWN power :rip:

And with all those massive hits the album still underperformed

We can call for stopping the comparisons between the two but you don't have to bring down Shakira to uplift Beyonce though.
