Shakira in the same level as Christina Aguilera and CIARA?
At least Loca has hit #1 in 3 countries, when was the last time Cici or X did it . And you're taking this very local. Ke$ha is a nobody outside the US, except for Tik Tok all her singles had pretty much flopped
Oh and Waka Waka was a SMASH outside USA. the video is like 230 mill on youtube where only Gaga and Bieber can do it nowadays
Well, the U.S. takes up 33% of all music sales, so it does have some staggered importance over every other territory.
Shakira's name is dirt in the U.S.; that summarily affects her overall position.
As far as I'm concerned, album sales don't really mean **** anymore. If a girl can rack up hit single after hit single after hit single but the figures for her album are quite shiteous, she's still going on my A-list. I'll always place more importance on an album that nobody bought that was full of mega-hits than a nobody can name one single from my last era but I still sold well because of my reputation album.
Therefore, I say Ke$ha and Rihanna are A-list (for the time being).
First of all, THIS IS MY THREAD. Ashuduff, do not even. DO NOT EVEN.
Also, NO ONE IS HERE FOR YOU YOU STUCK IN 1994 MOFO.
Yes, this is YOUR thread. I'm not hijacking it. I was giving my point of view. It's a discussion board, where we discuss opinions. No need to be a rude ass about it.
