Waka Waka makes sense becuase it wasn't big in English Speaking Countries, Japan or South Korea. Which are where most digtial downloads were from. Though HDL and BL were big in the enlgish speaking countries and i believe south korea because beyonce is big there.
Yes for the majority of her singles. But BL and HDL were big in english speaking countries. HDL did 4 million downloads and 3 million ringtones. 800k in the Uk and 400k in Germany and France. that's why i was surprised it only did 11 million. BL did 1.7m downloads and 600k ringtones. and was #1 all over europe and oceania. I guess her lack of East Asia makes her sales not look big for these two.
I think for HDL sales you need to compare it with other singles released in 2006. On this site there was a analyses about downloads. HDL was mentioned as one of the big sellers of the 2003-2006 era, but the first blockbusters came in 2007 and 2008. So HDL and BL were released before downloads were starting to sell massive
Sorry but shakira at 83 million CSPS simply isn't correct, streams from 2015 onwards only count, and in many countries Streams are not counted or even calculated towards a album/singles total sales, that has been mentioned many times so you can't use the same metric when counting global sales as it simple doesn't count in certain parts of the world.
Also you have Shakira at 83 million CSPC and you claim she's the most successful Female latin artist globally.
That simply isn't correct, For one Jennifer Lopez's global published Certifications (albums & singles) have them at 56 million, thats just what she has in Published Certs.
She's one if not the most under certified Female artist in the US, billboard reported JLo love? Album at 1.1 million in April 2018, and Dance Again the hits at 1.6 million, infact Billboard issue April 2018 reported Jennifer to be near 20 million albums in the US and noted Love? And the hits were not certified on RIAA
On the floor is Eligible for diamond in the US, and Jennifer is eligible for around 55 million in Certs alone.
Shes nearly at 10 million Certifications in the UK alone, and 31 million in the US (again extremely under certified)
So anyways regarding Shakira as the biggest selling Latin female simply is incorrect figures.
As JLo is close to 60 million in published Certs alone
And thats including On the floor still been X3 platinum in the US.
So if you have calculated Shakira correctly and you have her at 83 million how are you saying she's the biggest selling Latin female? When Jennifer sits at 70% sales that of your Analysis sales you have for Shakira and thats just published certs.
Jennifer Lopez has done over 110 million units worldwide and then some.
Not trying to be arrogant but for such a bold statement i had to jump on and mention that.
And been shy of 60 million global certs, and you include Reported US sales today puts Jennifer Lopez way past Shakira, not only in Asia, but in the UK,US and Australia.
Could you please consider ‘Clandestino’ by Shakira as part of the El Dorado tracklist? It has been added to the tracklist of the upcoming vinyl edition, which is being sold on her website and on Amazon as well. Therefore, it should count toward equivalent sales according to your methodology. Thank you.
