She Wolf was successful though. The song is almost 2X Platinum & Waka Waka really was huge - even its sales in the US are impressive despite barely making the top 40.
And Shakira's YouTube views are so massive, her songs probably have a lot of reach globally, just no one buys them in her strongest markets.
Either way, I wouldn't call her irrelevant. CRTFY also wasn't a total flop. Spent like 16 weeks on the H100 and will probably go Platinum soon.
