‘Strength, Courage, & Wisdom’ isn’t just a song of India.Arie‘s;  it’s a way of life.

Just days after making headlines for announcing she was joining the growing number of artists who are pulling their music from Spotify in protest of Joe Rogan‘s podcast on the platform spewing misinformation about the global health crisis, she elaborated on her decision in a video to discuss the controversial commentator’s history of using racial slurs.

Over 20 years into her career, Christina Aguilera is still managing to shake up headlines with new music.

Her latest project, the January 21-released Spanish-language EP ‘La Fuerza’ (which translates to ‘the force’ or ‘the strength’), went to chart battle on the strength of preceding singles “Pa’ Mis Muchachas” (featuring Becky G, Nicki Nicole, and Nathy Peluso), “Somos Nada,” and “Santo” (featuring Ozuna).

But while those tunes and a supportive international press run helped send the set to the top of global sales tallies (as we reported here), industry analysts predicted the ‘Fuerza’ Stateside figures wouldn’t mirror the fanfare it was receiving in international markets.

Look inside to see if they were right.
