Shakira sold 80 million records worldwide
Hi
Can you please update Shakira? It’s been a while and I think she probably crossed 80M
it’s soo biased. She after the superbowl 2020 sold 80 in total.
You should study every artist being a favorite or not .
“Those two Spanish records have as many 10+ million songs than Madonna‘s first 9 albums combined” you can’t even comparte with madonna , no! just a big no! even when the spanish sales are no accurate.
This is a big joke.
Hello chartmasters, this article is amazing but i dont get why waka waka streams were counted towards sale el sol sales but not its physical and digital singles sales? can you pls answer
Hey MJD! I have a question regarding Laundry Service: Washed and dried (expanded edition). It’s just a collection of old songs with some new/live versions…Why is it included as a new album in her tally? Thx
Hi Wolfie!
This was an ID mapping error, it’s fixed! 🙂
hello, excellent job, could you study Gloria Estefan, between Gloria and Shakira, who is the best-selling Latin artist of all time.
None, Julio Iglesias outsold both
Between them though it’s likely a close call, but I think I’m betting on Gloria as of now
Her spanish catalogue is waaaaay bigger.
Her first album has an unique certified on her country. And billboard itself said she sold 1,2 milion copies in brazil on her debut album.
I believe in you and in your data, but try a little to look better at south american market. Shakira is a power of nature here
Hi D’or!
Latin American figures are accurate. The points you mention have been addressed multiple times, they are misconceptions from fans. The Colombian cert was explained like one or two comment before yours!
