I don’t really get how it is possible that her label has been spreading the “80 million records” sold number for more than a decade, referring of course to pure sales, when according to this research, she hadn’t even crossed that mark in 2018 with streaming numbers included. Do you think you might have missed something? For example she is known to be very big in the MENA region and some Asian countries like India, and I guess it is not easy to find accurate info about sales there. And perhaps that might be true for Latin America as well.… Read more »
Hi Fra!
She sold 104m records if you’re counting albums + physical and digital singles as of this article. So that claim can be accurate, it’s just misleading,
Oh I get it, thank you! Do you plan to update her report soon? She has grown incredibly streaming wise since 2018, and I think she’s a very peculiar case study as she is the only female 90s diva that managed to adapt so well to the streaming era, both on Spotify and Youtube. I would love to know how much her album units have increased with the CSPC method. In that regard, I would like to point out some songs to make sure they are taken in consideration on the next report (in case they weren’t): Pure Intuition (it’s… Read more »
What’s articles you’re planned to update in the near future ?
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!
