Certifications in France have always been automatic since 2016

So how do you explain Chromatica taking 3 years to scan platinum while Renaissance did it in one?

That's its TWO week total. Not three. Your cockiness will be your downfall. Cowboy Carter 8.6K SEA (Zero physicals the first week) Mayhem 6.7K SEA Spotify Weekly Albums France: #1 Cowboy Carter #3 Mayhem One would hope an album with 70 versions would outsell an album that had ZERO physicals the first week. Unfortunately for Gaga, she still fell short. As I said don't bring Beyoncé into it. She debuted with more streaming units in France despite not tacking other artists' songs onto her album. Time it took to scan SNEP platinum: Renaissance - 1 year Chromatica - 3 years and two months

Don't bring up Beyoncé. She did more SEA units than Mayhem. https://x.com/yoncesolo/status/1900566598143856660

Official charts

Texas Hold 'Em completes 25 weeks of charting in the Netherlands, France, Switzerland and Sweden.

She has far more than that. 7,365,000 according to the latest update.

#1 - 20+ countries. Most for an album this year.

Officially her longest running #1 album in France. La grande reine de France. Fun fact: COWBOY CARTER is also the first country album in history to reach #1 in France. Texas Hold Em also became the first country song to reach #1 on French radio. A French smash.

She deserves the perfect 10 from P4k now more than ever.

Alliigator Tears is the gem of the album

Tomorrow is gonna be a moment if she actually attends. I'll take whatever we get but I have to say this release week already feels more eventful than Renaissance's (and BMS/the weeks leading up to the album)

Hit the nail on the head here. This base should be reserved for talent only.

II HANDS II HEAVEN N/A

And neither could Shakira's 17 track album. How she let that 2023 Bizarrap collab outdebut her whole album is a question for another day. Beyoncé's certifications in Brazil aren't up to date either. Halo, for example, is still undercertified, as are a few of her 2010s albums. Regardless, Beyoncé is CURRENTLY smashing in Brazil and that's all that matters for now.

I think Levii's Jeans has strong top 10 potential.

We're good luv enjoy 🤍

"Last updated: April 8, 2018" Why would we exclude the US from Shakira's total when it's a foreign market for her? Shakira remains with 0 certified sales in the biggest non US market (Japan) as well as less certified sales than Beyoncé in the biggest Latin market (Brazil; Pro Musica). Cowboy Carter massively outdid anything she's released on her own since the Bush administration.

Beyoncé Studio Albums (EAS): 37,140,000 Other LPs (EAS): 5,946,000 Total: 43M Shakira Studio Albums (EAS): 34,780,000 Other LPs (EAS): 6,620,000 Total: 41.4M https://chartmasters.org/best-selling-artists-of-all-time/ (UPDATED DAILY) Not even on that unreliable fan blog does Shakira outsell Beyoncé in pure sales despite debuting earlier as a solo artist. Renaissance outsold her last two albums combined in pure sales. Give it up. Beyoncé outcertified her by a wide margin globally.

We should aim for 4 First album since I Am with 3 top 10 hits

She's exceeding all expectations commercially. They hate to see it.

This. The jealousy is evident.

The cherry-picking and outdated stats from 2022 as if Beyoncé didn't massively outgross, outearn, outaward, outstream and outsell Shakira overall in pure sales and beyond, even according to that unreliable blog. Get a grip and go stream Shakira's new album.
