She's definitely #1 over Shakira. Shakira had. Big peak in 2023 but it fizzled pretty fast

We will see if she fades away like Maluma or Ozuna in late 2010s.

Yes. She gave Shakira her last hit.

Shakira gave her her own biggest peak in US, UK, Switzerland, Canada and Ireland.

Her fame is very limited within Spanish speaking communities. Shakira is totally on different level.

By not releasing Woman's World

yes but the new song is not IT. MAMIII -> PROVENZA -> TQG -> QLONA -> AMARGURA was such a flawless run :gaycat2:

Karol G is the second biggest female artist right now, right behind Taylor Swift.

0 day on Spotify Top 200 Artists chart in Brazil, UK, Ireland and Australia. Only 11 days in Germany.

So no.

No.

 

TQG: Peaked at 7 (her only top 10 thanks to Shakira); 20 weeks on chart

Tusa: Peaked at 42, 21 weeks on chart


TQG was on the Billboard year-end chart, Tusa wasn't.

Can we move on from this myth? Shakira USED TO be a global star, but she's not anymore. She's not charting, she's not selling; her last breath was with the Piqué drama, but the release of her album brought her back to reality. :kitty:

OP: Yes, she is miles above Rosalía, Shakira or Becky G, and probably equal to Bad Bunny.

Karol is way bigger than Shakira in 2024. Only one of them can get solo hits and headline a stadium tour.

I have yet to see Karol G to peak inside the top 10 without Shakira though. 

 

Isn't TQG Karol's 2nd biggest spotify hit and having more daily streams than her biggest hit in there? Provenza is her biggest one and is behind TQG currently. 

 

How do you know if Shakira can't have a stadium tour btw? It's not like she is touring a lot. 

 

Shakira has been doing this since the 90's. Let's not come for what's literally the biggest latin woman in the music industry. She had two USA top 10 last year alone, both in spanish and she'0s in her late 40's like...imagine that.

Karol G is the only Latin female artist to have achieved a #1 on the Billboard 200. Not even Shakira, at the peak of her career, reached that milestone. Shakira's last album debuted at #13.

 

Additionally, Karol G's "Mañana Será Bonito" stadium tour is the second-highest-grossing tour by a Latin artist. In comparison, Shakira's last tour grossed less than a quarter of what Karol's tour did.

 

And to clarify, I was speaking in global terms. The US is not the entire world, and focusing solely on chart peaks in the streaming era misses the point, longevity is what truly matters.

 

Currently, Karol is the third most-streamed female artist daily worldwide, right after Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish. Shakira is 14th.

 

Shakira's most-streamed song daily is "Hips Don't Lie," a track from 2005, with 1.5 million streams. Her second most-streamed song is "TGQ" with Karol G. Meanwhile, Karol has six songs getting over 1 million daily streams. And Karol's "Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido" is shaping to be bigger than anything Shakira has released in the last decade.

 

Shakira is indeed a latin legend, but Karol in undeniable bigger right now.

Can we not? The fact is she's local just like Bad Bunny. 

Without the Pique drama, Karol G wouldn't even get her first and only top 10 in the US, her own biggest peak in the UK, Canada, Switzerland and Ireland.

That no.1 only stands for 90K sales. Shakira's Fijacion Oral Vol.1 sold 157K in its first week and it's still the biggest first week sales for a Spanish female album in the US.

Weekly charting is just a number. Sales amount is what actually means something.

 

Don't act like Karol G's latest tour's success was not due to the post=pandemic tour gross boom. Shakira is selling tickets at $1000+ at the back of the arena floor.

 

Longevity is what truly matter so you should not try Shakira. She's basically the main pop girl (Karol G is not one) with the longest career span other than Madonna. She does not need to prove anything and delusional Karol G fans should stop trying to lift up Karol because they are 1000000 miles far. Karol G's success is very limited within Spanish speaking communities. She has spent 0 day on Spotify Artists Chart in the UK, Australia and Brazil, and only 11 days in Germany.

Shakira is the best selling Latina in UK, Brazil and Australia. One of the top 10 best selling female artists of all time in Germany. That's the difference.

So no matter how many Spanish speakers attended Karol G's shows in Germany or the UK, Karol G is still nowhere close to Shakira.

 

Didn't Karol G release way more singles (and collabs) than Shakira in recent years? She's at her peak so that makes sense. However, she's nowhere close to Shakira overall.

Whenever Wherever, Hips Don't Lie, Waka Waka, She Wolf, La Tortura are all-time classics. Karol G has no songs matches these classics.
