CSPC: Shakira Popularity Analysis

Streaming Part 3

Independently of the consistency of albums tracks or the heights reached by singles, the most striking element is how all albums until She Wolf end up with 200-480,000 equivalent album sales.

This all changes with Sale el Sol. For a mostly Spanish album issued in 2010, its results were absolutely extraordinary in terms of sales. That success is confirmed by its streaming figures too. Both language versions of Loca combined add for 84 million while Rabiosa is on 65 million. Logically, Waka Waka does even better at over 200 million. They are also monsters on YouTube with combined views for this album topping 4 billion. These amazing scores add for 889,000 EAS. It is only a matter of time until it reaches 1 million units from streams alone.
