Posted March 8, 201411 yr http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/35/Shakira_-_Shakira_(2014).png Shakira will release her 10th studio album on March 25th, but how will it do in the US? Post your sales predictions here and once we find out its sales total, we'll see who came closest :D At the end of the year we shall see who among us is the best chart psychic so get involved~ There's only one rule: don't post a range (i.e 400-500k), if you do I shall take the middle of the range as your guess! Some relevant details about the album to help everyone: Shakira's last English album She Wolf started with 89k, selling 303k in total'Can't Remember To Forget You' is arguably her poorest-received lead single in years, but it's very well known due to its YouTube video and has been hanging around on iTunesSale el Sol managed to début with 46k, despite having no mainstream single, so she seems to have a somewhat steady fanbaseSo how does BuzzJack think Shakira. will do?
March 8, 201411 yr I think the #1 album might be more important than the sales. Probably 70K if being generous.
March 8, 201411 yr Author I only just found out she's never had a #1 album in the US or indeed the UK :o That is so strange for an artist of her caliber.
March 8, 201411 yr Author 62,856 :) This is just a *tad* too exact so... I'm going to round it up to 100k.
March 8, 201411 yr HitsDailyDouble has She Wolf's total at 480K! I don't really want to predict yet, it's too soon.
March 8, 201411 yr Author HitsDailyDouble has She Wolf's total at 480K! I don't really want to predict yet, it's too soon. It's only two weeks away from release, do you need to see HDD numbers before it's not too soon? :lol:
March 9, 201411 yr It's only two weeks away from release, do you need to see HDD numbers before it's not too soon? :lol:Maybe I was just waiting for your prediction :D Fair enough, I'll say 78K. If only The Voice was on live rounds by then so she could perform.
March 9, 201411 yr On iTunes, "Empire" only went Top 60, and the album is currently at #85. But she has a Target deal :teresa:
March 9, 201411 yr Author But she has a Target deal :teresa: Target deal? Are they selling it at a reduced price?
March 9, 201411 yr Author Target deal? Are they selling it at a reduced price? OK well apparently this is literally just "Target have a deluxe edition". That's nice. Anyway I am going to take a stab finally, I'm estimating 63k. I was tempted to go a bit under 60k but pre-orders look OK and it's a nice happy middle between She Wolf and Sale el Sol...
