Kii at the "No promo" excuse. There has been a Target commercial being played 24/7 since the Grammy's.. let's not use that.

I thought she gonna do 50k but with all this promo, only 75k? slay I guess.
Shakira her ARTPOP era could mean anything

On a serious note, I feel like every pop girl is underperforming atm (minus Katy tho)

If these aren't promos, what promo BEYONCE had? You can't have it both ways.

EXACTLY! That's what Im saying, that person said BEYONCE had no promo and she did and then she said that her Oral B commercial was promo which is wrong since its not related to the album at all

Beyonce had 2 commercials for songs that weren't even on the album, Shakira had 3 commercials for songs that are on the album (one of them is even a single)
Beyonce didn't release a single before the album, Shakira released 2 singles before the album.

Grown Woman was on the album tho. BEYONCE didn't have promo pre-release but she had massive internet promo(Ads in Youtube, Facebook, etc.) and a commercial in the first week so its still promo!

Shakira had the Activia and Target commercial and singles hardly count since she didn't start to promote 'till yesterday. Im not denying that she has promo but you need to be objective with your fave as well.

I'm sure SHAKIRA will have longevity not only that she's always
Been a global act so lets not rule out that yet.
Predictions can always go up or down and I'm sure she will sell over 90k
Hoping for 100k. Go Shakira 20 plus years and still selling.

How much is Frozen predicted to sell?

[frantic]

ALL THESE PRESSED SOULS.. SHE IS MORE KNOWN THAN UR FAVE ANYWAY

[Leppie]

omg what are karmins numbers?

[iamstrong]

Industry sources suggest the album will easily outpace the likely No. 2 album, Shakira's new self-titled set, which was released on Tuesday, March 25. "Shakira" might sell around 70,000 to 75,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, March 30.

The new Billboard 200's top 10 will be revealed on April 2.

[BlueNavy]

I hope she has longevity...and why hive pressed here and drag navi about r8?

[ozlovezashlee]

I'm not surprised with Shakira's number, the US isn't her market. She will do A LOT better WW.

[phatty033]

expected more due to her target deal

[chilicheese01]

So now it's "decent" and "good" for Shakira to be on the same level as Xtina?

Whatever helps the fans sleep at night, I guess.

[chilicheese01]

I mean, this would be at least 10K less than Warrior... WARRIOR! One of the floppiest albums of the past five years! How is that good?

[Boomer]

Poor Shak!

Yes, because Shakira is global. If it was some kind of messy situation where most of her sales came from the US, and this is the number she comes up with, then that would be tragic. It is a decent amount given the circumstances and they will compliment her international sales very well

Shouldn't you be worried about G.U.Y and the mess of Artpop.

Johnny Cash selling half of what Shakira is doing despite being dead for almost 11 years, king.
