How is Shakira a flop? She is a freaking Latina artist!!! She is not white or black and only appeals to a small population in the US because she is Spanish. Shakira still has phenomenal global power and she just went number 1 in 62 countries!!! And plus this is just a prediction, they don't have the sales figures in yet. What other Latina artist sells even remotely close to Shakira both in the US and worldwide. Pies Descalzos sold 5 million,Donde Estan Los Ladrones sold 10 million, 2002 Laundry Service sold 20 million copies, Fixation Oral Vol. 1 sold 4 million, Oral Fixation Volume 2 sold 8 million, She Wolf though a flop still sold 2 million, and Sale El Sol sold 4 million. Name another Spanish female artist in today's market that sells as well as Shakira and then you can call her a flop.
