How much has self-titled sold to date in the US and WW?

[Dale]

Also, can we quickly discuss Shakira's dominance over major music market Turkmenistan?

[kylespearsfenty]

Listening to "Shakira." again for the one-year anniversary. This is definitely one of her strongest albums. I honestly like the songs more than I did when I first heard them.

[Lifeline]

I need a damn Latin ROCK album form the Queen again

At the moment Iam in a total Oral Fixation Vol. 2 mood, slayed me hard the other day - even the organic bop "Illegal" has grown on me so much after all, the melody is everything tbh



Don't want no quick dance singles from her, she better serve & soon

"Costume Makes The Clown" >>>>>>>>>>

This!
Another thing: I've noticed that her albums in the 10s don't really have a lot of versatility when it comes to emotion (probably because she's just really happy and at peace with herself). I kind of want more angry, sad, and artistic songs, but I don't think we'll get them. Oh well.

QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENN

Wait a one-year anniversary? A hot mess, where did my time go?

[MCBeth]

Paying homage to the queen by dedicating both my avies to her.

I'm pretty sure the queen would appreciate it.

I was in the Mexican market today, and "Ciega, Sordomunda" started to play in the store.

This guy is going to post the real album sales with reliable sources:

http://www.webconferencia.net/notici...al-552075.html

fake album sales by mediatraffic:

SHAKIRA'S GLOBAL ALBUM SALES
'Pies Descalzos' (1995) 3,5 million
'The Remixes' (1997) 0,5 million
'Dónde Están Los Ladrones?' (1998) 3,5 million
'MTV Unplugged' (2000) 1,0 million
'Laundry Service' (2001) 13,0 million
'Grandes Éxitos' (2002) 1,0 million
'Fijación Oral, Vol.1' (2005) 4,0 million
'Oral Fixation Vol.2' (2005) 5,0 million
'She Wolf' (2009) 1,8 million
'Sale El Sol' (2010) 2,3 million
'Shakira' (2014) 0,9 million

This is a total joke and im not even surprised since this site has always hated and understimated Shakira. She sells A LOT in countries where this guys just "assume" she sold 1k. For example, did you know by any chance that Donde estan los ladrones sold over 250k in Turkey and 200k+ in Venezuela? Do you know that Sale el Sol sold over 100k in Paraguay? The Fixations had huge sales in Egypt and Shakira is probably the bestselling international artist there ever, but do you count that? You obiously hate her and that can be seen in Waka Waka's peak ridiculous #6 with 4 million points when it sold over 10M worldwide and its by far bigger than many singles in your all-time top 200.

To be perfectly honest those stats are not completely wrong, they're slightly deflated post LS but they seem close enough. The figures that are completely ****ed up are PD and DELL both which sold twice as those morons stated, I mean they don't even have a source because official figures have not being revealed anywhere that's why they had to change DELL's total

Unfotunately ATRL gives way too much credibility to that blog.

Everything pre 2001 is a mess, they simply don't have information about her catalog sales. DELL and PD's sales where at 3.5M each by 99, so that figure is a joke. And her MTV Unplugged has sold 400.000 in the US alone, so that 1M ww figure doesn't make any sense. Everything after 2002 seems only slightly deflated and they have Shakira at almost 1M, fair enough, and SES/SW seem legit, too.

[Giancor]

I kinda agree with SES/SW too.

[Amour&Psyche]

I thought laundry service was higher than 13M now?

[GreasyBruce]

It was universally accepted that Pies Descalzos was at 4m+ copies, and Donde Estan Los Ladrones at 5m+ copies.

She Wolf is also at 2m+, and Sale El Sol at 2.5m+. And Unplugged and Grandes Exitos sold well over 1m copies each.

It's just upsetting to see a site with no credibility try to undermine her like that, it's so disrespectful to her legacy. He has no sources, no idea of how huge she was...unlike many of the other pop girls, Shakira's albums sell in places they usually don't...the Middle East, South East Asia, Latin America.

[kylespearsfenty]

I could care less about album sales but deflating an artist's sales is so disrespectful. It's harder to disprove too.
