SS she is a lead artist and sings almost the entire song and got them to perform on The Voice which the song was going nowhere before that. I will agree the others are features (FTM she does have the hook though) but more importantly, they all got radio play which is the key to success as evidenced by CRTFY. If radio doesn't play you, you pretty much can't have sustained success. And both Shakira and Xtina are having trouble with that right now. Boop!
And Xtina fans bringing up every collab she's done in the past 10 years whenever solo success is discussed
Of course they will. These collaborations had success in the US. A hit single in the US in a thread about who was has more success in the US obviously has more weight than the latest Brazilian Shakira stats
We all know that Xtina nowadays is a featured artist. So we can't really compare both properly. Lotus is more of a flop, though since Xtina used to be bigger than Shakira in US.
Holy **** Shakira stans are pressed as ****. And death at them bringing up solo singles then using CRTFY as ammo when it features arguably the number 1 pop girl now as a feature yet still couldn't go anywhere even with the new BB streaming rules
CRTFY went top 15 despite not having a good digital performance. It climbed that high thanks to its video views. If I remember correctly, lots of people were talking about that video when it came out.
She's selling well and she's definitely going to have another tour.
Did you forget the Target deal where she's supposed to get $3 million just for the commercial that airs on TV according to Billboard? Plus, Shakira gets paid more money than Xtina on The Voice.
