Sweetheart, I'm a Jennifer fan, but let's not be delusional. I know that I am young (born in 97), but I have honestly never heard of any of those songs (except for On The Floor) until recently. People still make references to Shakira's hips almost a decade later. (Waka Waka is a bit of a stretch, but it is faring to be the "timeless" World Cup song).

You've never heard of the critically-acclaimed, Grammy-nominated, millenium anthem, US, Australia, UK, New Zealand, Finland, Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain Top 10, WW #1, "Waiting For Tonight"?
Child byyeeee!
Like who am I writing to right now? Please get educated on Jen's music career, come back to me, and then we can actually have a real discussion. I am talking to someone who's being ignorant and bias against Jen's impact and success. Like how many WW hits does Shakira have compared to Jen? Girll..

A.K.A. had 3 videos. 2 promo singles with accompanying videos for the stans.
Shakira had the The Voice, IHeartRadio, Billboard Music Awards, The Today Show, The Tonight Show, overseas at Echo, she even performed on The Voice UK. She had commercials/promo for Crest 3-D Whitestrips, Starbucks, Target, 3 videos and the list goes on.
She had her own World Cup song and even closed the event. And yet the album still fell short. Gurl stop embarrassing yourself like this! 
Jennifer Lopez is a much bigger music artist in the states than Shakira. Nobody uses ha here. She needed the Top Artist in the game Rihanna just to atleast breakthrough Top 20 again in years and still only did moderately well considering Rihanna's global appeal. |
Im still right, AKA had 5 videos! Booty had a bunch of performances and it quickly faded, its peak was 90% due to streamings. Empire alone>>>>>>>>>>>>>every single song from A.K.A. In fact every single from Shakira. outpeaked JLo's in the US
That's US, WW Shakira effortlessly wins.

No honey, I'm not being bias. I'm being honest. If the songs were so iconic, I shouldn't have "to be educated" in order to know them. I have followed pop music pretty closely even before ATRL. Those songs are probably big outside of the USA. In the USA, radio doesn't play them, and no one mentions them/references them like they do with Hips Don't Lie. Jennifer's discography is more up my alley anyway.

Oh, and by the way, you should said Jenny From The Block. That song is still referenced over a decade later.

LETS NOT FORGET JENNIFER WAS NAMED THE MOST INFLUENTIAL LATINA IN THE US
Jennifers had more Worldwide number 1s everything shes done has been way bigger then shakira
Infact jennifers this is me then spent more time on the UK album charts then shakira has with all ha releases, and jennifers more successful in the US so im confused??? Shakira might be more successful in places like turkey and Peru but commercial jennifer slays ha

Jlo fen dodging the facts!  bottom line Shakira. Sold more then AKA IN the US. (let's not about the world) The fact that a jlo fan must instruct us to go get #educated about Jlos music says it all.

JFTB? You call that track one of her timeless songs? I'm done with this convo. Clearly you are too young.
Just because you are ignorant to her other global songs doesn't take away from their impact. Create the poll yourself and let ATRL speak on it if you like. WFT is an iconic, timeless, and classic track.
Also, I have not heard HDL in almost a decade. Not on US radio and not anywhere else. No shade.

I'm not dodging anything. I never denied that Shakira's last album outsold A.K.A. but when your fave hasn't even scanned Gold how is that hardly an achievement?
Not too mention that Jennifer Lopez has sold way more albums and has way more hits altogether in the US.

I can't at this JLo Fan to have the nerve to talk about the Shakira Era when A.k.A happened in 2014. Girls, this was one of the biggest Flops of the year, in AND outside of the US. But cling on to OTF and Pitbull if you think that's the way to go for your fave. More memorable Hits?! With half of Shakira's overall Sales? How dat?!
Whenever wherever 10M
HdL 10M
Waka waka 10M
La Tortura 6M
Loca 5M.
All of those bigger and more remembered than any JLo Song pre OTF.

None of JLo's "classics" even reach 50 Million hits on Youtube, they're clearly forgotten. Her hits were always based on Radio not sales. Her success was extremely local and even then she wasn't even that big anyway.
I love how we're only talking about the US since its obvious to everyone that Shakira easily wins WW

Kiiiii. HDL was released in 2006. I'm sure you have heard it within a decade. That's just embarrassing, sorry. Obviously, other People remember this Song too. It's currently No. 90 on itunes UK  . Give it up.

But the claim was one of the Shakira stans claiming Shakira is bigger in the US.
Where? How? When?
Take A.K.A. out of the equation and Jennifer Lopez still has way more hits and sold way more albums her. Shakira is a non-factor in the US English market. #facts
You guys can continue beating around the bush and bringing up AKA's sales like her career started last year, but the stats and numbers don't lie.

J.Lo's "classics" were uploaded on YouTube way passed her prime, some are even missing. So idk what that has to do with anything.

Fun fact: Jennifer Lopez is also bigger than Shakira in the UK. We already discussed this in a previous thread.

JLo didn't have a successful album in the US since Rebirth (2005). And that was moderate at best. Her Heydays were over by then, even in the US. Why do you bring up Shakira's Album Sales when JLo did a lot worse since then in and outside of the US?

It didn't stop HDL of getting over 200M views or Whenever Wherever almost reaching that amount despite being 15 years old.
