Shakira 85k: "GLOBAL ICON LEGEND DECENT NUMBERS."

Double standards.

Sis, Gaga have a top 5 hits (applause) and her previous album sold over 1 million..

not really

Shakira took a 4 year break and is coming from a "flop" era while gaga is coming from an era where she sold 6 million albums including 1 million in its first week and only 1 year and a half break.

Shakira has also been releasing music for over 20 years while Gaga is fading 6 year into her career.

Sale el Sol has reportedly sold over four million copies worldwide and she had a highly publicised Rihanna collab lead single.

Here's the difference:

Born This Way (2011): 1,108,000
ARTPOP (2013): 258,000

She Wolf (2009): 89,000
Shakira (2014): 85,000

How much of that was from the United States, hence what the conversation of this thread is based on

Oh monsters... never stop providing the kiis

[Lorelei]

1. Comparing Shakira to an American artist
2. Gaga had two very successful eras and the anticipation of ARTPOP was HUGE, plus her fanbase had already started overhyping this ever since the first single announcement, hence the endless dragging by the other stanbases when her album opened with these numbers.
3. Shakira never had huge opening numbers in the US, EVER.

Shakira is 20 years into her career while Gaga is just 5... Applause was a U.S. hit and CRTFY was not, Lady Gaga was coming from a 1,000,000 debut, Shakira wasn't. Where are the double standards???

CRTFY was hardly publicized.

Haha. This a great number for Shakira and is consistent with what she usually sells in the U.S.. It's also her highest charting album ever. This is Shakira's performance 23 years into her music career (first album released in 1991).

Additionally, Shakira has already sold 60 million albums (Gaga has sold 25 million). She'll be fine.

[EdicsonHades]

Congrats global icon Shakira
