So many pressed souls perched on this thread
I mean, Shaki's #'s are quite great if you consider:
She's selling abrely below her last English effort, even though the music sales have been going downhill year after year. To be able to pull 2009 opening numbers in 2014 is not easy.
She did have promo but let's not act like it was all the way in-your-face promo that actually managed to convince and encourage the GP to go to their record stores on the 25th. The weeks has just begun
CRTFY had underwhelming radio and sales success, therefore, its purpose to "sell the album" was partly unachieved.
She has 86M fans on Facebook, but why do y'all infere they all live in the US?
"Shakira." is great and will do great embraced or not by the US, the biggest music market
but not the only one in the world.
Did she perform on a show like the Grammys? Did she do FIVE NIGHTS IN A ROW at a talk show? Did she have a beer ad?
the numbers are ok
