agreed. The fact that she sold more than Jason first week says a lot.

Lmao, no. That is not true as much as you want to believe it. She had HDL in 2006 yet she only opened with 128K and ended up selling 1.7 million. She had Rihanna and The Voice, and she is doing promo, there are no excuses. Pharell and Jason are genuine singles artists, that's it.

Lol. Oral Fixation came out three months before Hip Don't Lie. The song wasn't even on the album, they added it last minute on the album because it was a hit. Do some homework, please.

Oral Fixation came out in 2005, Hips DOn't Lie was released in 2006. Shakira opened with 128K with a flop single.

But those were the 2 most important days since it was a huge holiday weekend with lots of iTunes gift cards. That's why 90% of the albums saw a huge increase.
Don't a ashamed, SHAKIRA wasn't the only album discounted. Frozen, ARTPOP, PRISM, Pure Heroine and many others were too.

Honestly, Frozen soundtrack deserves these sales. I mean people can act like only 5 years olds are buying the soundtrack, but I've heard it everywhere on campus. Like just going to the campus cafeteria I hear Let it Go or DYWTBAS like 2 times on the way.

It's everywhere and obviously the public is liking it more than all of the pop girl albums. It's a soundtrack anyways and managing to save the physical market a bit, so why even get mad? Not like some ADELE is happening, it was a megapopular movie with a megapopular soundtrack. Just bot to Let it Go and let go all of your hate for its slayage

Exactly
If frozen wasn't happening right now the state of album sales would be HORRIBLE. It deserves the acclaim and success. And majority of people my age love it as well (high schoolers lol).

Frozen, the 21 of 2014. I thought we've had to hide our faves from Adele not from Elsa.
