Decent numbers, actually. So the lesbo action paid off.
Hope Empire takes off so it goes Gold at least.

I thought she would do less so this is pretty decent IMO.

People calling those "decent numbers" when it's like half of what her last album opened with and this one featured The Voice promo + a Rihanna featuring in the lead single

Sale el Sol opened at 7 with 46K though...

Let's not compare her Spanish albums debut to her English albums debut.

This is Shakira's highest debut. Prior to this, she's never even been a contender for the #1 spot on the Billboard album chart, so this is great.

Not her pulling Lea Michele numbers

Her #s would be fine if these hadn't been on loop on TV for 2 months, starting at the Grammys.

I was hoping Karmin would get 20k

Epic ruining careers again. Karmin nowhere to be found.

The "Empire" Target commercial started airing this Sunday. The other commercial only aired on TV during the Grammys, hence why the video on Target's channel is titled "Shakira Grammy Awards 2014 Target Exclusive New Album".

Maybe in your mind it has been looping on TV for 2 months. lol. Nobody knew about the "Empire" Target commercial even existing until last week.

Tone done the exaggeration a bit.

[RajibDavid]

And they called Bionic a flop......

[EarStyle]

When I was in Target Monday night they played her commercial over and over. It was playing "Empire".

[Superpower]

I've seen the Target CRTFY commercial many times after the Grammys.

Okay, She Wolf opened with 89K in 2007, when the albums market in general was not completely tanking.

Frozen slaying the power of the Adele's! Ya bet ya damn ass I'm naming my daughter Adele so she can #smashh

[Mister Martian]

She hasn't pulled huge numbers in the US in a while. She'll make all her money from Dare and be unbothered,

[JustActinUP]

Shakira's numbers are underwhelming, considering all the heavy promo she's getting.

Expected a bit more for a GLOBAL icon, especially with the amount of tv promo and Target deal. These numbers are on par with Christina's "Lotus" and less than her last opening.

Well then people should drag her like they did to xtina and gaga. Why does ATRL have a double standard?

[villain]

These are good numbers for her in a part of the globe (i dont think you people know the US is, in fact, on this planet) where she is C-list.

Too bad, though. She is so much better than this trash ass album. She has yet to top DELL.
