"The largest screen ever seen at a concert in Spain," confirms the president of Live Nation Spain. https://www.telemadrid.es/programas/telenoticias-fin-de-semana/Asi-avanzan-las-obras-del-Macondo-Park-la-experiencia-madrilena-con-la-que-Shakira-rendira-tributo-a-la-cultura-latina-2-2920827894--20260829023550.html

Well that was not the point. Mind you, this whole discussion started because I called Bby Wow a cute Latin hit. You're the ones who got offended by the term, not me. Is the latin market powerful enough to push a local song to 1B streams? of course. Just look at Fuerza Regida and countless other latin acts.

If there's one thing Karol has better than Shakira, it's her team. Karol released the album the same day. Shakira took 15 months, and by then the hype was gone and none of her songs were charting anymore. It was still a successful era though.

Exactly, a billion-streamed song with poor recurrent streams, it was huge in Latin America back then but now kinda forgotten.

The way Karol G fans can't handle the truth. They really think Shakira stans are suffering over this cute local hit It's another "Bichota" for her. Hopefully it can at least help her sell out some of her Latin American dates.

Exactly

Except STHC didn't reach #1 The last song was TQG

Her last English album being released over a decade ago, shocking. Dai Dai is literally a smash hit WW right now, 15 years? fff Try Everything is literally 4x Platinum in the US, higher than any Karol song ever. And since I already know you're gonna say "thank you Disney", several Disney blockbuster soundtracks have flopped. I can make you a list if you want. So no, she's not a flop in English, especially not compared to Karol.

Thankfully Shakira can have smash hits in multiple languages. Not everyone has that range, babe. The others better enjoy their latin audience while they still can.

So you're saying English songs have an advantage over Spanish songs? Is that why Karol was so desperate for that Bruno collab, just for it to flop anyway?

But why did only Waka Waka and Dai Dai smash? Where are the other World Cup hits from 2022, 2018, 2014? This narrative is getting tired "Basically no promo" and it's literally on every major Spotify playlist. it's a cute Latin hit babe, nothing wrong with that. Dai Dai did 6.7M streams at some point. The last time (and only) Karol had a song doing 6.7M was… TQG 3.3M is literally the lowest #1 on Spotify's history, where is the thread about that? Let's not get brave please.

We love a cute Latin hit where are all the people who were dragging Dai Dai for having low streams for a #1 tho?

ATRL only cares about female pop stars

Queens

Well not really. The mayor of Santa Cruz already confirmed she's going to Bolivia. Some Brazilian dates are apparently booked too.

Egypt next…

Doha concert canceled The stadium was sold out

Is this a re-recorded version, like Taylor's versions?

Shakira for all

sexy?

Queen

RIP

Mods are so boring. Base isn't even fun anymore

Why was my thread merged? One thread is about Spotify hitting an all-time low in streams, the other is about what's next. they're clearly different discussions. It's getting tired
